Absolutely one of my favs! Though I love the OG best. I’ve been to Alesmith. Got a tour from the owner. Then he said, we’re going to eat lunch now, but help yourself to whatever you want on tap and enjoy. And then I preceded to drive to LA after. Yikes! :lol:

My only knock on this one, you can taste the alcohol. I mean, at 12% guess it gets kind of hard to mask. But I dont mind it. Flavor is good. This one is 2 years aged in the cellar. When I first had it, it was mega sweet. Rounded out nicely with some aging.

I guess I should have said “Alesmith” is one of my fav. Not had this version of Speedway. The barrel aged version though—I love soooo much. :lol:

Is this a new release from OH? Haven't seen this up here.

They have done before. I had it in 2023. This batch canned 1/7. Lots of pine and roasty cocoa vibes. Soft grapefruit. Freaking nice at 7.2. B) Enjoy vacay!

I get the sense that some of our younger and newer posters feel like the more they post, that they will literally "will" the storm closer. 

Friendly annual reminder that your post count means nothing. We have established "regulars" here with post counts well under what you'd think. Sure, many of us are in the thousands. But who cares?

Take it from somebody who grew up on Eastern and then here....you will not gain any favor with people by beating the same horse over and over and over and over again - and posting 3 word posts all day and night. It clutters the thread. Most of us have gone through the phase you are going through. 

It will either snow or it won't, It's okay to be excited...but you don't have to reply to EVERY post. And not EVERY post needs to be morphed into an inside joke. 

Sit back and learn a little. Enjoy the hunt. It's okay to read a bit more than you post. THINK about whether you REALLY need to be post every time you go to hit the reply button. In all likelihood (and I mean this in a lovingly/mentoring way) your post will, in the realm of things, be barely a speck in terms of significance.
