    I'm kinda of hop hound. I enjoy a really good beer but what I enjoy more is the hunt. I like getting my hands on the rare and obscure limited stuff. And what I can't get on the west coast my brother ships to me from his travels. We go back and forth sharing hop samples. It's a fun hobby that the two of us share together.

    Honestly I've got 3.

    One is the Innis&gunn oak aged. Damn thats got some wow factor to it. I found this by accident.

    Dog fish 120 I'll buy that all day long it's crazy in flavor. Not for the faint of heart! My brother's favorite beer of all time.

    Courage Russian imperial stout. Deep in flavor incredibly rich. This was a gift from my brother in law in England.

    Innis & Gunn is great. I'm an IPA man myself. Hoppier the better.

    Speaking of my little brother he just texted me, he won the Wisconsin 2 man state paintball title? Idk it's cool he's been playing for years. He's pretty good at it. He's the turd on the right.

    I normally don't drink IPAs, which is why they call me the Hopslayer. I prefer stouts and porters, and make my own beer as well.
    They call me Hopslayer because I normally drink Stouts and Porters instead of IPAs. I belong to a few beer groups and have sent and received packages like this many times. My dad died in August. He would have been 80 yesterday, and I drank this beer for him last night.
