to be clear, those are screens not windows - I'm not reckless enough to hang out with Yada indoors during a pandemic  8)

looked like it might be a porch…man, special delivery and everything
I need new friends

I have too many sour ipa's and fruited sours sitting in fridge, but if I needed some this would be good news… Hudson Valley Brewery now shipping to VA and DC. Not sure about MD.

I have never had their products, but I worship sours and sour ipas.  Maybe I will order one of each of their 4 packs, just to see.

Sapwood with the #1 seed

Edit…doesn't look like it works that way

looks like Falling Branch is holding up against Guinness

some tough first-round picks
Oliver Vs Silver branch
Cushawa is crushing DuClaw


Unknows Crooked Crab and Histeria are leading the pack
Idiom is holding its own.  nice.
Saints Row, Checkerspot, and Diamondback should be winning their brackets, IMO.

welp round one done…monument brewing is the point leader (were up against Chesepiooc Real Ale Brewery
…so I can see why they crushed), but do they have what it takes to beat burly oak in the quarter-finals

Man, Falling branch missed it by one vote against Guinness
Guinness goes up against Elder Pine this round

Oliver crushed Silver Branch

Next round matches to watch
Black flag vs Brewers Art
Chuswa vs Heavy Seas
Full Tilt vs Union

I've been to 10 of remaining 32, and have heard of most of them. And I don't even live in the state.
Been to 15 of the remaining breweries. Most of those are at least worth a visit.

I've been to 10 as well of the remaining 32… I still don't know probably 40ish of them.
