The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Guess I should've said "tasting"...

 

I am not picky and certainly not in a hurry so don't worry about the LICC so much as the BIF targets. I am sure whatever is sent my way I will enjoy. If you have local gems or beers out of Ohio distro those are perfect.

 

I am probably through Columbus enough that we should work out a time to share bombers.

 

I'm in the same boat, my fiancé will taste stuff but that's it. My good friend Matt and his buddy john plus a few guys I know from my regular bottle shop visits about make up my group. Does not stop me from enjoying a nice beer on my own! Sadly I run out of time to drink before I ever run out of beer.

 

Also this! I have a bunch of delicious Georgia beer to destroy a porch with.

 

If somebody could only invent an app to share beer over the internet....

 

Not sure how many I will be able to get. I know I have at least one reserved but outside of that it will just be based on the generosity of my beer guy and then what I can track down at other places. Maybe @cultclassic89 will be my scout and give me an early notice when his store gets it in.

Since I'm not sure how many I will be able to get, I will let @EA728 and @cultclassic89 take care of this trade so that we can be sure you get taken care of.

 

all of them?

Targets! Targets! Targets![/QUOTE]
Yes please, will be beer shopping in NYC on tuesday, better place to beer shop than my part of NJ atm.

In NJ we do everything by exit, and Im at exit zero on the parkway, and lately that means 0 beers making its way to this part of NJ.

Do you get Carton and Kane down where you are? I live in New York, but work in NJ, and while I've been lucky enough to get some Carton stuff on tap, there bottles and/or cans haven't reached me yet.

I will try and get targets out tonight or tomorrow. I am just doing some final tweaks.

 

I have some Kane ANTEAD in my cellar, have access to boat and 0XX77, if my targets wants it, most likely going to attempt some growlers on this BIF, but Kane is a good 2 hours away each way, but Im willing to make the trip on saturday for a growler fill.

 

Add my name to the bottom of the Pirate Bomb! want list if there are any left to go around. Would love to line something up once anyone else ahead of me is taken care of.

 

Cape May Brewing is doing some good stuff. And nobody seems to recognize it...

I'm headed to DFH next weekend, maybe they'll have something special. Besides their insanely good gin.

 

Cape May Brewery isn't getting any respect, yet. Shame cause they are doing some nice beers, but Im planning on sending a growler from Kane and one from Cape May Brewery, just hope they survive the shipping.


Its funny cause on a holiday weekend, your waiting in a line 2-3 hours long to even get into their tap room, but BA ratings are low.

 

There are a lot of things I have not had yet. I think you should be fine. The possibility of getting some Tired Hands is making me very happy.

I don't really have a tasting group just a buddy who is a BA but I don't see that much often because if work. I really wish the BA community in my area was more of... Well ... A community.

 

So I always have wondered, what is the best way to ship a growler? I have thought about buying a box just to fit the growler in, and shipping that wrapped up inside the box with the other stuff.

 

Vacum seal bag and heavily wrapped in big bubble tape. And lots of tape on the seal.

 

let the growler warm up or ship cold?

 

Other than one guy (and my girlfriend drinking hefeweizens), I really don't have a tasting group, so drinking bombers and 2L growlers causes similar difficulties.

 

I normally dont ship cold. But Ive had growlers seep before. Ive also just used lots of electrical tape and thrown them in a trash bag, lots of bubble wrap and peanuts and had success. They are fickle at best.
