Beers from Beercation 2015

I was able to return home with a small but very nice stash of beer from our 2 Beercations in October.  I wish I was able to bring back home some more gems but I had to either drink them or gave them away before we came home due to weight restriction on the flight home.

From left to right here are the beery items which weighed in at 40 pounds!!!
