Unless they had a bottle hiding in the picture, that was me being a smart-ass: I'm here in Delaware for work, so I was drinking it on tap.
And then last night (at this event: https://www.facebook.com/events/268067973268433/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)I had a "Heaven and Hell", a black and tan made with World Wide Stout and 120min IPA (both 18% beers).

Cell phones should only be out to take a picture of the beer you're drinking or to make a drunk phone call to your significant other that it's time to come pick your drunk ass up. :spilly:

Can this be a group rule?

How about no cells while pictures are being taken? Do we really have a problem with people tweeting and facebooking too much? Sheesh, my new drinking friends down in Philly must hate me, updating Untappd all of the time.
Twitter me, twitter me, I want to kindle my boyfriend!

I think Untappd is acceptable. That goes along with the taking a picture of your beer. I'm guilty of that during our SAAZ get togethers as well, like to get my thoughts about a beer down while they're fresh in my head.

There was a moment that evening when, for about five seconds, there was no talking and suddenly everyone could hear the typing going on. I didn't realize just how many people had their devices out at once until I looked at the picture.

I have a permanent problem with both. Aside from that, if you want to spend all night talking to other people, why are you here.... :silent:

That's because there's nobody else here...except the dog, and she doesn't say much. :lol:

Kyle,

Not sure how they got that remarkable likeness of us. Glad to hear you enjoyed the OOA, brewed in the brand new Mission Mashhouse, or as Kyle called it, the MishMash. FYI, the stats for the beer are: OG 1.071, FG 1.011, 7.9% ABV, 173 Calc IBU. We did try and cover up all of the faults with lots of extra hops !! :headbang:
