I'd be okay leaving behind a monument like that as long as I stuck some iron in it.?ÿ And my tag (required in CA).

I've heard of them being set, never seen one myself. Good find. Point description: BBF? Maybe if it was a Heineken it could be GBF...

Hopefully it was an IPA, nitro stout, or some other beer not fit for human consumption.

To bring it up to California standards, add sand till 1/2 full. Then add a bonding agent, such as silicone in a tube. The, poke a capped short rebar into the top.

What a monument!

@paden-cash Shiner Bock makes me think Surveyor Connect should have its own signature brew. I could go for an Adverse Possession Ale right now.

@flyin-solo You have just obtained the position of project manager for this endeavor. Of course the responsibility of sampling potential brews comes with the position.
