Practicing my off flavors for my BJCP exam by adding $hit to this. Right now I am working on "nutty." And just because I know someone will ask, the only reason I have it around in the first place is because my FIL left it here when he came over for dinner one night.
You monster, that could've been in a cake!
My Mild. This might well be the best beer I've done. Smooth, balanced, easy drinking, full of flavor, and 3.7%. Runs on par with every commercial one I've had. Just wish my cell phone and bad apartment lighting could do it visual justice. Damn you all and your DSLR cameras...
You can still take decent pics with a camera phone. Try turning off the flash and seeing if you can get a light source behind your glass of beer. Also, taking the pic at the level of the beer instead of looking down at it will help.
Eh, flash or no flash, the problem is the lighting. There's nowhere in this apartment you can get decent lighting for a worthwhile shot.
Well, rest easy knowing that even if you have a DSLR, $hitty lighting will still result in a $hitty pic. If you can buy a small lamp or something to get some backlight that alone will improve the quality of your photos by leaps and bounds.

You'll be waiting in line for, and I'm not exaggerating, a minimum of 6 hours. It's only gotten worse each year. You may be able to get in a little quicker by getting there significantly before it opens a'la Black Friday, and maybe cut it down to 3 or 4. But waiting is just part of the experience. How excited when the lines moves and you get to shuffle a couple feet forward! You won't be visiting any other breweries that day, I can more or less promise that, unless you go super early and go out by 4 or 5. When you're done there you should go to the Whole Foods at Coddingtown mall. They have one of the best beer selections I've seen.

It sounds like something yo cross off, then dont return haha. On their website it says they have a very select few places that are getting kegs of it. Not sure if there is a way to find out where.
Oh, and coffee for me right now. Its 7AM and slowly waking up
A little something before dinner.
