Bottle/Tap: Bottle, pint +9
While digging through my box of beers, I realized that I hadn’t reviewed a Dogfish Head in quite some time and I ought to remedy that.

As a best friend, you have varying responsibilities. Being available to listen, helping when an extra set of hands is needed, remembering the little details that matter. And sometimes you need to create a cocktail for you and your best friends to enjoy while you build the 1,000 piece puzzle that they received as a Christmas gift. Seriously.
Last Saturday we had a date night planned with our friends, OT and Vicki. After dinner at a restaurant we planned to return to their house and work on the thousand piece puzzle OT had received. I asked, jokingly, if we would be
