SWTFYW Hints and Hauls!!!

Got this added in, by the way. Thanks! Not sure how I missed it.

 

Well, for one, I am close to Town Hall...

 

My favorite part of football season? The Mets haven't had a humiliating loss in WEEKS.

I love beer.

 

First off, I don't see growlers as requiring much "ammunition", but after our conversation in Enola I'm definitely ISO Peekskill. Secondly, I'd be looking for $/label more than beer at the moment anyway, my resources are heavily taxed by this FIB/CPA war, so if all it cost me was an empty box that'd be preferable.

 

This is true.

 

I probably won't be down near Peekskill for a few months, but I'll be sure to let you know.

$/label sounds great for Tired Hands. How often do you visit?

 

Alpine
Tree house
Oxbow

 

Try being a Jets fan. It's brutal.

I like beer

 

I'm stoked that Oxbow just opened a tap room in Portland. Last summer I trekked through the countryside to go check them out. It was worth it, but I doubt I can get my friends to join me each summer when I visit. Portland's easy, however.

 

Lawson's
Jackie O's
Kern River

and then so many others that I don't know about yet!

 

Side Project
Cycle Brewing
Funky Buddha

BTW there are a lot of Alpine on you guy's lists - that will go away soon!

 

I hear great things about Oxbow. I need to give them a try

 

Unfortunately not all that often, once a month at best. Whenever I go next I'll be sure to give as much of a heads up as I can. Forest & Main, however, I can do literally any day of the week (I damn near pass it on my way home from work).

 

I wasn't totally in love with the bottles that I brought home, but the stuff they had on tap was spectacular. There's so much going on in the greater Portland area right now, it's silly. Just the industrial park alone is impressive, with Allagash, Bissell Brothers and Foundation.

 

I forgot to add Alpine to my list. I've NEVER had Alpine. Never. Srs.

 

Are you trying to start a war on your western front? Haven't you learned a thing from the Germans?

 

Seeing everyones wish list makes me feel very lucky to have traveled and tried the beers I've been lucky enough to try. A lot of the listed breweries I've been fortunate enough to have a 1 or 2 beers from but these lists are like the who's who of awesome hideaway breweries

 

Pretty sure he was referring to the Green Flash acquisition and likely increase in distribution...

This is one of the reasons I wanted to posit the question; I felt really lucky to have as short a list as I do, I mean I listed everything I could think of not just my top couple, it's been a truly incredible year (it was only last July I started ticking, and last Christmas that I moved from ticking to chasing the good stuff)

 

I'm in the same boat almost. Started ticking in June started chasing in November

 

Add to my list of breweries I want to try, Kern River
