Epic BeerAdvocate Tasting


An insane amount of bottles were shared amongst BeerAdvocates this past Saturday at the Brick Store Pub. Many thanks to Steve & Greg for locking down the Belgian Bar from Noon until 4:20. Thirty thirsty beer fans came in from Alabama and South Carolina, including Dan & Joseph who rolled in @ 11:30am from Columbia. And as a treat for the early birds, I popped the newly released Lost Abbey Angel's Share, aged in bourbon barrels.
