Long story short is that I am a home brewer, I need bottles, and they discard their partial fills. I am now the person who gets them!
Most are only just short of a normal fill. Some are OVERFILLS. Worst case is half full. All the beer is perfect regardless of fill.
Today I scored 3 cases of assorted Kolsch, Pale Ale, APA, and Irish Extra Stout!
Life is good!
Their bourbon barrel imperial stout is pretty decent.

Enjoying a Cantillon Iris, great sour beer, not so great with a smoke as it takes over though!

Sam Adams Noble Pils. OK, but seems more suited for drinking on a hot day -- kind of light and refreshing.

It was a close race, except for the poor Dry Dock which didn't stand a chance as the anchor against such established classics. IMO the Franziskaner and Ayinger were the best.

Also, it's Stout Month at a local brew pub called Vine St. (sister to the Mountain Sun). Stout Month means ~20 house stouts and ~20 guest stouts are rotated throughout February...great stuff! Made my first Stout Month stop-in on Monday...7th ring is from a Santa's Little Helper...mmmm, stout

Let us know how you think they're doing, if you don't mind - I just picked up a few and am curious what to expect.
Earlier I had a nugget nectar and barrel aged zatec on tap, now drinking some hopslam.

Drinking a Struise Ingis & Flamma Belgian IPA. Different, pretty good.

I live about 4 miles from Victory, and I highly recommend Yakima Glory.
Enjoy!
