DrinkFly is an app that I can use to order beer and have it delivered to my doorstep. Pretty solid for binging.

I won 4 cases of boulevard at a raffle during a charity fundraiser I was at. How should I break it down?

can you get smokestack/seasonals?? cuz that's a game changer.

otherwise, i'd rock out some pop up sesh ipa, some 80 acre, some pale..

dunno. will report back.

They're giving me half pale ale, half wheat. I mean its free so I'm happy about it, but I was hoping for some options. I'll see if I can negotiate at the pick up.

this is what i was afraid of. if possible just get all pales.

I charmed my way into getting extension after extension on assignments in college, I can use that charm again on this.

so started a new thing today, am starting.  a handful of my buds are coming over, all bringing a couple bottles of craft beer.  we all gonna sample them and try to make it a 2 × month thing.  best of all worlds.  hang with buds, drink suds, try new beers without dropping $$ on them without knowing whether or not you like them.

also, i meant new to me, i'm sure this has been done before.

do you live at all close to one of the flying saucers in DFW?  They have beer flights that are pretty cheap that allow you to try like 6 small glasses of beer.  It is a good way to see what you like without buying a bunch.  Obvs your regular buds n suds things works too but it might be a nice change of pace once in a while.

yeah, we talked about that as well, possible going there once every couple of months.  also have a couple growler stations really close to the house that sell by the glass or flight as well. i'm pretty introverted though so as long as peiple keep showing up to my place i'll keep hosting

If you drink two fast you will be a 5+. That's my review.

sadly HEB doesn't have a presence in Dallas outside of central markets.  i have yet to see any taps there.  the whole foods in my neighborhood does have taps though.

Definitely sour, but not too much.  Very enjoyable.
