You might find some side street parking after 6 as well

Perry,
Any plans to stop by the Judge? Let me know when and I will be there to pick up my case(s).

Signed,

Perry:

I couldn't be there until about 8:00. Is that too late? If so, another time.

The side street parking is good, I thought before six was alright, no? Metered.

Yeah, I'm sure before 6 is fine, just likely more expensive.

Perry - What about those of us who can't make it to Volo tomorrow? I could meet you/pick up my case at the Judge if you're also heading out there sometime.

Perry: Not sure if you'll see this before tonight, but... How critical is it that we find/bring our certificate of purchase with us to pick up our case?

Cheers,

-Josh

I never received mine, so I'm hoping proof of identity will suffice!

carbonationm has eased off and even better today--first review on beer advocate site! Great work, Perry, worth the wait.

Just to add my tip of the hat to Perry, it is a fine beer and all true beer fans will want to try it. Can't add much to Steve Beaumont's excellent review except maybe to say based on the reading I've done in 1800's brewing literature I believe this beer is very close to the London double or Imperial stouts of that time, it is truly a taste of history. By one classification, "Single" stouts were 6-7%, double, 8-9%, Imperial, 10-11% and Russian, anything over 11%. Obviously these designations and their connected ABV were variable with brewer and time, and it is easy to surmise many of the stouts sold in the 1800's under one of the latter 3 designations would taste like Perry's. Again, well done, Mr. Mason!

Gary
