I've liked the two other Industrial Arts beers I've had (Tools of the Trade and Power Tools) so I'll have to keep my eye out for Wrench.
OT: Post different types of beer you've tried, and how it was.

I'm not a fruit in beer guy at all. With very few exceptions. One of them was Shiners Cheers. A Dunkle with Texas peach and pecans. In years past a fantastic beer. This year not so much. Pure peach flavor, way overboard. Unless you like peach overload I would avoid.
I still have 2 GBS from last year that I need to drink. I thought about getting the complete set of 7 online this year but didn't pull the trigger. Where'd you get Christmas Morning?
Just had backwoods bastard for the first time tonight. Holy smokes is it good. Had 2 small glasses and felt tipsy. Though I didn’t eat with it, I imagine it pairs really well with certain foods. Definitely one of the top 5 beers I’ve ever had.
What is the best New Jersey distributed beer available nowadays? I see Carton most often in NYC, sometime Flying Fish and River Horse, and very occasionally Kane.
IPA fans in Philly will be happy to know that Melvin from Wyoming will be starting distro via Shangy's. These guys are the real deal...won tons of awards at GABF and were likely testing the market during PBW much like Deschutes a few years ago.
Will it be available on draft or just cans? I'm able to find cans where I live at some bars. I had the Melvin IPA and it was very good.
That I can't answer just yet. Brü in Center City has a Melvin Launch tap takeover next Saturday.
Cracked open a bottle of Ommegang Three Philosophers (Quad Ale) over the weekend gifted to me by our next door neighbors. It was excellent and I highly recommend.
17 Vanilla Abraxas, Abraxas and Prairie Christmas Bomb were awesome.
I cracked open a bottle of Against The Grain Bo & Luke...BBA Imperial Stout collab with De Molen from Holland. Smoky and smooth. Also got the 17 Baptist Trio from Epic (Big Bad Baptist, Baptista and Triple Barrel Baptist). Getting Prairie Bible Belt, Hardywood Christmas Morning and Kentucky Christmas Morning, and FW XXI Anniversary Ale this week.
Aged in High West Rye Whiskey Barrels. Fantastic!! Looking out for Lagunitas Willettized next week.
I had the Accumulation a year ago and liked it more than expected.
Picked up a 6 of the Stone Xocoveza last night for a Christmas Party and I thought it was excellent and I don't drink a ton of stout and I am not a huge fan of imperials. Stone usually doesn't disappoint.
I now live in the deep south (Jersey) and nearby me is Pinelands Brewery in Little Egg Harbor. They have several notable brews including Swamp Donkey IPA which is now being distributed throughout the state. Their Evan John Porter and 08087 APA are excellent. Check it out if you can.
Philly and Eastern PA gets Hardywood distro. Christmas Morning/Kentucky Christmas Morning are basicly GBS on steroids.
My 3 favorites right now are Allagash White Hoegaarden and Omegang Whitt
IPA fans should seek out Grey Sail Captain's Daughter. Just got a 4 pack of that from South Jersey. Grey Sail will be in PA via Nevulis in January 2018.

Good, but not $30 a bottle good IMO. 17 Abraxas and 17 Eclipse Series hit Philly today.
Just tried 10 beers from legendary Bottle Logic in California. The best were Fundamental Summation and Number Crunch 2 imperial stouts that were off the charts, as good as anything I have ever tried. The mead Iridium Flare was unreal too.
I picked up a ton of 17 Abraxas in NY.
I had 1 of my 16 GBS and now need to find a 17 Christmas Morning and 17 GBS.
