    Yeah I got this one in March. I really liked it.

    "Blazed Orange Milkshake" from them is also easily the best Milkshake IPA I have had. That beer type can be really hit or miss. Good luck in Vegas!

    Some more hits from my grad school area (Univ. of Illinois).

    "The Way Is Shut" (9.04%; 5 sips)

    A very juicy NE IPA that is smooth. What 9%? Also dank, with a melon slash stone fruit character.

    Then...

    "Re-Remember Camp Waconda" (13.2%; 5 sips)

    Heavy chocolate, booze hidden, s'more character, and a bit of minty finish to me especially when warm. Winner.

    If you ever drive through Champaign, IL, and like craft beer, stop at Tryptich Brewing. You won't regret it. Ive given 16 5/5 ratings on Untappd out of 1,516 beers total in four plus years. SIX of them have gone to Tryptich beers while only drinking 17 of their beers total.

    This is a single malt made with barley from Scotland and India. Much lighter on the peat and smoke, probably should have used less ice.

    Hubster: Heat advisory out today, so I'm fighting back with gin & tonics. Either Beefeater with some really juicy Mexican limes or Tanqueray Rangpur, hold the lime juice. Both with Fever Tree Indian tonic.

    Maybe not as fun as all the different beers and such but I gave up diet soda due to all the fake sugars and dyes. Tried many seltzers but this flavor Mango Grapefruit (and brand from Kroger stores) is one of my favorites. Cucumber melon, orange vanilla, and strawberry watermelon are up there too.

    I too am drinking g&t. Was trying to think of what makes the Vegas ones worth $18. Maybe i have that stuff at home? Quickly surrendered that line of thought, drinking mine out of a cute mason jar, hoping it adds hipster cash value [emoji12]

    This (to go with my giant healthy salad). But we'll be in Vegas in 2 weeks so no guarantee my usual healthy fare will follow me. [​IMG]

    Some red wine I don't like all that much but some wine IMO is better than NO wine. ;)

    They do some great and interesting stuff for sure. Paying $5+/can is a tough decision when buying a case(or $30 per 750ml bottle), treat for sure.
    One of my fav's was a DIPA called "Fried Friend Chicken Chicken", they actually put a small amount of friend chicken in the mash. Creative folks.
