NBO: Sour BIF 5

Broken record here.
Original member of the Reserve Society with access to all west coast breweries (LA, Bruery, RR, Cascade). Favorite sours of mine typically involve fruit. Less of a fan of Geuze, but still appreciate them. Would love to try some of the midwest/east coast breweries such as Hill Farmstead, Upland, Capt. Lawrence, Upland, Allagash, or Ithaca. Wants list is pretty accurate, gots list will be updated shortly.

 

Hooray sours!

My top wants are up to date. Bruery rs member. Love beat and cantillon like everyone Else.

 

Happy Easter to all my fellow sour heads !!!

 

NO

 

HINT: My target is as west of me as it can possibly get. (within the lower 48) He has an impressive cellar so it's gonna be hard to blow him away. I think I've nailed some wants though.

 

Libbey and I are co-sponsoring a box and co-receiving. This is my 3rd round in this BIF and I'm looking forward to shipping off another great box.

To our target: You've interacted with one of us before and we'll make sure you get taken care of.

To our sender: if this wish list helps you put your box together, great! If not, no worries, we like all beer. Any fruited or non-fruited sour would be great. I've been pretty impressed by the C&C New Belgium beers and would love any non-off the shelf Belgians or Beatification. I haven't been too impressed by Jackie O or Bruery sours (though Wanderer sounds interesting). We live close to Cascade and have plenty of Ithaca. But generally, I trust the ratings; if it tastes good, we'll like it.

 

To my target: you are a minimum of 4 states removed from me.

To my sender: I will try to update my gots ASAP. I'm an RS member so generally good on that stuff, although Wanderer has eluded me. I have easy access to RR through travel and have plenty of b5 Beatification (older bottles would be amazing though). Also have a decent amount of the standard Belgian sours, but love Cantillon and 3F. Aside from Fou Foune, I've never had any of their harder to find offerings. I prefer fresh fruited sours to old, but generally just looking to try some new, awesome sours. My white whale is Isabelle, but I don't expect to find her here.

Very stoked about this BIF!

 

Wakes up from a long slumber of not following threads on this new site. Thumbs down to me for now posting a mini profile. Now that I know this thread is going...

Sour fans are a pretty small community that travel in the same circles, it appears. Add me to the RS Society list, cellar stocked with east and west coast sours and anything lambic I can get my hands on. I gave up standing in line for ultra rare releases, so anything with a lowish bottle count would most likely be new to me, as would sours from the north east, mid west, or central states. For example, wouldn't mind one bit if some or all of the bottles were Allagash coolships, or any other coolship renditions for that matter.

Honestly, though, I'm not so picky as long as the beer is good. Hype doesn't buy any taste points in my book. Unbalanced, throat destroying sours--particularly those with ethyl acetate issues--are about the only sours I won't finish.

 

Just wanted to add a little bit more infor for my sender. Had an awesome weekend full of sours including surette, fantasia, barrel select raspberry, sh black razz lambic and brurery mother funker and loved all of them (especially the fantasia and the south hampton) except the cl bsraspberry but I've loved every other sour I've had from them. Id like to try more sours from cascade (only had the Kriek so far), crooked stave( I've had surette and wwbo) upright and any other interestingly funky beers.

To my target you are west of me and seem to like sour beers. My hints will get less vague as this progresses.

 

Oh and I am NOT a bruery rs member.

 

I'm looking to ship tomorrow, but...not sure I wanna set the bar just yet. ;o)

 

After Ryan, it can only go down from here. Damn. I better hurry up and ship!

Hint: go west, young man, to a place where at least some offense is being generated. What gives Phils?

Okay, so that last bit is more commentary than hit. I mean hint. Can't even get it right in Wilmington! But at least this shipment will be batting 1.000 on the hits list.

 

Me and my target have a few trading partners in common and they live somewhere that is very safe according to the national crime index they are well below the avg. I have not had any interaction with my target aside from in threads and have never bm/convo them.

 

My target has been rather quiet....

 

I'm definitely not your target! If you look back in the thread I spoke about my likes and such. Another hint for my target:
They say you have a tree city, but it looks like Cleveland has a lot more trees than your. Thus our name the Forest City.

 

My box is set. Waiting on a trade to go through and I will be shipping out. This box is going to a town with the same name as an uncle of mine.

 

Do you have an Uncle Allen
