If by some quirk they select that goof-ball Sam Calagione from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery over Julian Van Winkle...I am going to make a few phone calls and arrange to have someones ass kicked.

Sam really is a nice guy, however, I've got a crisp fiver to throw in the hat for when you have to make that call.

Ya know...I've been thinking about this and from a purely (and positively) selfish perspective, I now hope that what's his name from Dogfish DOES win the award. Can you IMAGINE what the price and local availability of "Pappy" will be after it's "discovered" by a bunch of mouth breathing New York and L.A. pseudo-sophisticates. Let 'em all drink "Dogfish".

Well said I hadn't thought about that problem either, we need to keep it to ourselves.
