The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Well there is one rule here. If you get out of line or fail to meet your expectations @Mikexw will find you and he will deal with you.

 

We don't need any of your Georgian swill

With all due respect to @Mikexw, @jdhowe has been threatened with boxes full of wolf spiders before, he's aware that there can be consequences for not following the rules

edit: threatened as part of a group, not that he personally needed the threat....or did he?

 

Drinking a Mad Elf while setting up the Christmas Tree. The only way to put up decorations.

 

I didn't get any of this year's mad elf, and not sure I will. Gotta cut back on the beer spending after black friday (and I didn't even spend as much as I'm sure others did lol). Wasn't a HUGE fan when I tried it last year, but wouldn't have been opposed to a sixer this year.

 

VBS hoping my Bulldogs can beat Ole Miss....

 

Glad they arrived fine.

After I shipped, I read that some Heirlooms are infected and Almanac will replace it. Not all are affected, only certain ones.

German Chocolate Stout is not highly rated here on BA, but it's a favorite in our drinking group.

The IPAs were purchased fresh. Enjoy!

 

I hadn't drank it when I posted, but have since :-)

 

I totally cracked up at that...

 

College football day. Go Ducks!

 

Zombie was getting a little dated (October something bottle date if I remember right--about a month old), but I figured since it was a surprise box that it was worth risking. Hopefully the malt hasn't taken over too much. Plenty of citrus when fresh and one of my favorites when it is good, but Three Floyds isn't as consistent as they should be either. Dreadnaught (bottled 10/31? I think) will usually hold up well for a few weeks, but is probably ready to be consumed soon too...

I had read this too, but I am super excited to try this one because word on the street is that, uninfected, this brew is amazing! Infected, and it is still pretty good too, but that is good to know that Almanac will "make it right."

And finally, My VBS...


Decent, but not as good as the ratings would indicate--pretty heavy handed

I think the Pliny from @wheelzntoys is next--simple, clean, delicious...

 

I was actually thinking about this one. What i really want to do is have the entire set up outside of my kegerator so i don't have to to modify whats inside or keep the door open, and dont mind buying extra parts. Dont know how this one incorporates into my system yet.

My favorite growler spot uses these and their growlers seem to last for weeks. I posted in the "Home Bar" forum without great of responses yet. Anyone else have any ideas?

 

Full disclosure: I do not own and have never used the item I linked. If it is what you go with, hope it works well; either way, good luck!

 

My haul for the week. Don't tell my wife...

 

If you don't want me to tell your wife, maybe you should be a little nicer..... and if you want that to even be an issue, you should probably get all that off the damn counter!

Seriously though, awesome haul.

 

She's not in Grand Rapids! And I don't care if she knows or not*.

*Until I have to go back to Columbus of course...

 

No worries, would definitely like to hear from those who have used it. I think its popular with homebrewers.

 

Contender for beer of the year for me... Port & Whiskey barrel blend just does magic to Bomb! Cheers!

 

Kind of?! Dude is full on smartass and I love it!

 

Tonight's damage.

 

He didn't wear lingerie to meet you too did he?
