		<description>That must have been so fun.  I tried the Palo Santo Marron and Midas Touch for the first time this weekend too.  Had to space them out over two days though.  Big beers!</description>

		<description>Sounds like a fantastic evening all around!

There is no question that you need to get yourself into the microbrewing industry as soon as possible.  One's calling does not come along everyday, methinks.

On another note, as much as many people love 90 minute, and let me first say, it is a great beer, no question, I have to say it's not what I look for in an IPA.  The higher alcohol (vs 60 min) makes it smoother and heavier, and the malt flavor (as you noted) can mask the hops.  I love hops.  I want my IPAs to kill me with hops.  In this  regard, I think the 120 min gets it right as far as high-level IPAs go (although to be fair I suppose it's in another category given its very high alcohol).  Complex, despite the high alcohol, yet not overly alcohol-y tasting, and on top of it, super-hoppy in a more crisp way.  As far as everyday beer, 60 mins are perfect, although I have also recently become a big fan of Sierra Nevada Harvest (made with fresh as opposed to dried hops).</description>
