NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.






Financial Projection as of 25 January 2013
***      Condition:  Cautiously Optimistic      ***
501(c)3 status rescinded. Refiled 1023 for retroactive 
status 25 June 2012. Per the IRS, our case must be 
assigned to an agent. IRS is currently assigning 
applications received in March 2012. Ours was received
in late June. To current financials, HBD is officially 
bankrupt in July. Due to recent developments, HBD.org 
will likely have to be dissolved per the bylaws once 
funding runs out. 
       Projected 2012 Budget  $3,145.01
 Expended against projection  $   85.95
      Unplanned expenditures  $    0.00
Projected Excess/(Shortfall) ($1,194.50)

I would bottle the beer and leave the ice.
Or pull the ice off and bottle the beer.

Its a one time chance to see what you get.

I like Ice beer.   Its what I buy when I am out of home brew.

If you do, please report back your findings.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
my first thought was go for the ice ipa, why not. but that ipa already 
sounds pretty darn big. don't know if you would want it any stronger. 
also iceing it is going to make it sweeter and an ipa that big is 
already going to have a lot of residual sweetness and it might be too 
much if iced, at least for me. if you like super sweet high alcohol 
ipa's then go for it, if not i'd let it thaw, it won't hurt the beer.

I would think the obvious course would be to taste what's below the ice 
and make your decision based on that. It might be pretty interesting stuff.
