Sounds awesome. Post pic of tat!

I've gotten bottles before from a bar. If you treat bartenders right they seem to have no problem hooking you up. Go somewhere you know the staff or they will at least recognize you.

YEah I mean they are definitely young and I am not quite ready to start guzzling, I just don't want them to turn into foamers!

So I have recently had a mishap with some over carbonation, not necessarily ruining, but certainly ****ing up a great batch of amber ale I brewed. See link--- https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/overcarbed-blues-400827/ and by the way, thanks for all the help and advice on the issue. So these...
