I know it’s early and there’s talk for next year.....I’m in for east coast !
I empathize 100% if people have situations that keep them from finishing. But I cannot abide the lack of communications. Just dropping out without a comment in this thread is completely unacceptable.
For example, @wstbrewing and @CarLock Brewing. If you're wondering who Carlock is, she was a friend of wstbrewing. We broke the rules to let her into the group. Derp. I'd like to think this is a precautionary warning for next years' edition, but I think we are a bunch of big-hearted people that can't say no. Best to stick to the rules and ONLY IF there are still openings by some date, say April 1, then open it up.
I do like east coast / west coast split. Hope there are enough participants next year to repeat that.
Also, while I'm on a tear here, I want to comment @TBC for running the circus this year. Great job.
Like I said, it’s one post. What issue do you suppose keeps him from making one post?I don't think @wstbrewing has been on the site since March, so I would guess he has bigger issues right now. Was always a standup guy in FOTD.

Thanks.if a guy that was a regular on here before the pandemic becomes a ghost of a sudden, I would be willing to bet that a specific trade thread ain’t on his priority list. Nor do I blame him for it. Christmas was 9 months away.
To be frank, this wouldn’t be one of my top 50 priorities if COVID impacted my family.
Also, your quad was awesome.

Thanks.
I blame them. There is no excuse not to make one post. It was a commitment. Apparently that has a different meaning today.
Got my Gingerbread Ale too!
TCB stepped in last year and organized this year, and has done a stellar job of it including check ins along the way. We can not control what others do, such as dropping out, but the way TCB has handled the end game has kept the drop outs from getting beers shipped to them, and I appreciate that. Let’s enjoy the season and the brews we have... next year will come soon enough.
East Coast Old Ale is on it‘s way via fedex.
Received mine yesterday. All was intact (of course with those fancy cans ).Just got home from the city. Found that a package from @yoop89 had been delivered. Thanks for the bonus beer!

Forgot to post this last night! Great job @Ultryx. The spices are present and pleasant. Might let the next one warm up a bit before drinking. The last drink was the best What yeast did you use in this? Was it something Belgian?
Had me fooled! The spice profile was very nice and had me thinking along the lines of Belgian.
Loving the old ale by @Yeroc. The subtle Brett character blends nicely with the base beer. Could drink these all night.
I'm really sorry I haven't been able to get out sooner. I was waiting on a shipment of crabapples and then it never ended up coming so I had to make a switch to cranberries. It's been a pain. I'll send tracking info when I ship.Still waiting in these:
@RPh_Guy Crabapple Lambicky Ale
I just got @jerbrew's Quadruple. It's chilling, and when my sister arrives I think we will open it and do a taster between 3-4 people. It sounds strong.
That's funny. I also named my lambic belsnickel the same and put the exact same photo on the labels.Two that I've opened.
@TBC, mild Belgian funk, followed by a just-right fruity flavor. Hit the mark on this one.
