Great seeing you again Jim-
I had a great time. Lots of good beers and it was good to see some old friends again and make new ones. I was lucky and got to judge Berliner Weiss (among others) with Shilpi from Logsdon's Farmhouse Ales. What an incredible palate he has! I learned a TON from him and we had a great time. Now I'm finding Cap'n Crunch or Cheerios in nearly every sour I taste. (Google Tetrahydropyridine aka THP)
Ref Postdoc, I'm lucky to see Tom quite often. Postdoc is literally 1 block off the route I take home from work every day. He's doing well and his brewery is kicking butt.
