Dr. it appears that EVERYBODY had the same idea and there's a ton of traffic on Moulton Pkwy. I go all the way to El Toro Rd and make a RIGHT so I can go back to the 133/73 and get on the 73 South. After much traffic and delays I make it home in one hour. What a waste of getting off early!

The pre-brewing sample they gave me to taste was really not at all like the beer I ended up with, so I'm thinking either it was mislabled or ...
