    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.
