Solid collection. Being in LA and Denver certainly doesn’t hurt.
Big fan of The Bruery. I’m in the Southeast and have been on a Monday Night Brewing and Resident Culture kick recently.
I’ve got a 2015 Russian River Supplication and Cigar City Cognac Marshal Zhukov I’m planning on cracking soon.
That dogfish 120 will be interesting. I wonder what the breaking point in age is for it to go from a DIPA to essentially a barleywine.

Lord Hobo makes very new-age super sweet high alcohol DIPAs, so if thats what you're into, then they do it very well. Personally I prefer my DIPAs to be total hop bombs so its not really for me.
as far as the Dogfish,
I have a 4yr, 3yr, and 2yr aging. Gonna do a top down tasting at some point.

Mr. Preachy
If you guys/gals want to bring out your inner Italiano, I have a recipe for you 
Limoncello
Ingredients
10 lemons
1 (750-ml) bottle vodka
3 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups sugar
Directions
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith. Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month

Discovered Domaine Brunet Pinot Noir not too long ago. You can find it in select wine shops or online for about $12 bottle, restaurants for around $30-$35.
I find it to be an excellent value. Very smooth, velvety finish, doesn't overpower a meal. Can be paired with pasta and red sauces, as well as beef or pork.
If you're looking for something different, I'd recommend cooking up some burgers with a pimento cheese, with sweet potato fries. Pair it with the wine, enjoy.

am a big fan of V. Sattui reds. Napa wines. You can only get ether at winery or on line. Their Family Red is a great match for anything. Including adding some to your Sunday gravy.

Aside from the occasional beer with colleagues, or the once in a blue moon cocktail, I'm pretty much a wine drinker at this stage of my life.
I've had bottles that cost several hundred dollars, and bottles that were under $10, and there's value to be had at all levels. Some of the most expensive wines I've had were good, but not mind-blowing. Some of the less expensive wines would easily beat most labels in a blind tasting among 99 percent of the population.
There are some tasty wines here in Pennsylvania, with more than 200 wineries located throughout the state. I tend to lean toward California and French wines, but have also had great wines from Italy, Spain, Argentina, Germany and other location.
One of my side hobbies is keeping a wine journal with tasting notes and labels (or photos if I am unable to remove the labels).

Any other magnificent bastards from the Whiskey Tribe?
If you don’t know what I’m talking about look up the Whiskey Vault in YouTube. It’s a growing community of whiskey lovers. We try to create a snob free group.
Warning: you will end up buying more whiskeys the more you watch lol.
I myself am a scotch guy, who will dabble in Japanese and Irish whiskeys as well

Anyone else in their early 30s and realized you can't drink like you used to? Haha
Last week I got blasted twice for my birthday and the next day wasn't fun.

I can actually drink more than I used to, and I'm more "functionnal" the next day, if, by "functionnal", you don't mean "working with lots of people", as it's pretty much non-stop farting if I drink more than, say, 4 16-oz of non-filtered stuff.

One of the best thing craft breweries are doing is shifting over from 22oz or 750ml bottles to 12oz 4 packs for specialty stuff. I love being able to open one and throw the other 3 in the cellar and pull one out from time to time to see how it ages.

Primarily a scotch guy myself. Would never turn down some good bourbon though.

Still waiting to catch a puck from Fotiu...
Stella Cidre is my new go to beverage when I feel like sipping on something cold. I like single malts and if you need something for a shot with friends after work you can’t go wrong with Honey Jack.

Went to Interboro yesterday and saw that they packaged and sold their first BA stout in 4 packs of 8oz cans. Never seen an 8oz can before but definitely an interesting idea...

Its a great idea, especially when the ABV gets up into the double digits.
They serve 8oz drafts of this kind of stuff in bars, why not package it as such?
I wish more breweries would do the same.
I drink whiskey (prefer triple distilled). I was recently in Edinburgh and visited the Scottish Whisky Experience which was fun. But the best whiskey selection I've ever seen is at Delmonico's in Las Vegas. BTW I went to the Yamazaki distillery outside Osaka and the tour is awesome. You can almost pass out from the fumes in the warehouse!

I hope you enjoy the city. And I promised myself to visit NY before I get old, but I`m only 42, so I`m still young and agile, haha.
