^^^ Interesting story. I know this guy, he’s a friend of a friend who did a Peace Corps stint in Haiti.

This would be an interesting beer to bring to a tasting - and are you coming to our next one on Saturday, by the way?

DC circles! I wish I could make the tasting, but sadly cannot. My wife is having a baby shower that day, and I am responsible for set up and breakdown. The whole past two years have been extremely tough for me to get out to tastings. It started with wedding planning, then went into house hunting/buying, then car, and now the baby on the way. Life has gotten in the way of beer. C’est la vie.

This is genius. If he plays this right, it will be a hipster trend bigger than the PBR renaissance

I hope to catch a break or two during the 1st 6 months. Baby is due in February, so I will do my best to get out to a meetup or two before then!

definitely take advantage of the fact that you have a designated driver for the next 3 months.
