    I am going to have to look for Crooked Line Detour IPA, hopefully one of the local stores around me carries it.

    Arn - I feel a bit bad about Magic Rock not being in there somewhere because I love there beer. They were a very close second for about 4 of the above but I had to be honest, and I think having runners up is a cop out.

    eric - the crooked line IPA is bloody awesome!

    I like your printing stuff but I am not aware of it. I have to write my finance assignment and I was searching related to that by mistake I am here and not understanding it.

    I like the category you cover in your printing. It's good to do stuff related to your interest. Let me share the discount code for vonhaus as an appreciation of the things you achieved.
