SWTFYW Hints and Hauls!!!

wow, you put on quite a display yesterday.

 

and paying for it today.
Only consolation is that I'm probably feeling better than @sandman3479

 

Been a while since I have stopped by to say hi to everyone @zekeman17 semt me a box for no reason the other day that I need to post a picture of for old times sake. Hope all is well, @Mipper @RayOhioFelton and @PA-Michigander i have boxes for all of you but I have been lazy about getting them out no excuses... I'll work on a remedy for that asap haha. Anyways, miss you all and good to see things are picking up a little here too

 

A case of Mr Pineapple disagrees with your version of "no reason".

 

So happy to see this!! Post, not mention of any box. Texts just don't satisfy me

You have been and will be in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Welcome back! (I made the executive decision that you aren't allowed to leave again)

 

So this weekend got away from me and I own some PrOn! Please forgive me for the delay.

Met up with some good friends and re-ticked my handshake with @jdhowe ! He left me with some goodies, and some pumpkin beer for the upcoming share!.........there is a theme here.


All of those look great and there are a few favorites that I have already enjoyed!

Then 3 packages landed Friday!!
@brandoman63 sent me these beauties!!

The pumpkins were on my "to try" list and I love Destihl stuff. Thanks a ton!

Then @core42 send me these!


A bunch of new ticks and pumpkins that I want in my mouth!! Thank you!!!

Then @FATC1TY hits me with these! (Good thing a REALLY long and stealthy ninja bomb had just hit him recently )
First the pumpkins!

And great minds think alike..........ar at least know what I like!

But seriously....who packs like this??

Really? No chance they would leak!! Thanks a ton for everyone's help!

 

So Much Pumpkin Goodness!!

We aren't doing ours until Nov 14th but we are keeping it small this year. We had like 140 some beers last year and opened only like 45 of them.

Excited to see how yours goes.

 

That's my fear! How many people go to yours? I might be able to help you out on the 14th then............we will just have to wait and see.

 

Do we win a prize if the beer we sent wins best in show at the tasting?

 

I entered, but the logistics behind making it work, driving from Western PA 7 hours, going and turning around to be back Saturday is stressful!! If I win, then I will worry about how I will get there, but it could be fun

 

We maybe have like a dozen people ? Is that about right @psbhockey12 ? We do a whole pumpkin themed dinner / desserts to go along with it. Fun times.

Last year everyone brought sooooo many beers and it was overkill. We were drinking leftover pumpkins into December. So this year we are trying to keep it to stuff we never had or interesting ones we want to try again. No more 3 year verticals of Pumking and silly stuff like that.

So far we have:
Avery - Rumpkin
Avery - Pump[ky]n
Ballast Point - Pumpkin Down
Elysian - The Great Pumpkin (2014)
Cigar City - Good Gourd (2104)
Cigar City - Good Gourd (2015)
Unita - Oak Jacked
Jolly Pumpkin - La parcela
Jolly Pumpkin - Los Vivos los Muertos
Off Label - Nightmare on 1st St
Saint Arnold - Pumpkinator (2014)
Funky Buddah - Sweet Potato Casserole
Heavy Seas - The Greater Pumpkin
Cigar City - Seasonal Creep

Hoping to not get too much bigger, but we still may add a couple good ones if we find some barrel aged ones or unique ones.

 

Even though I entered and would love to go. I completely agree with this. We were just talking about this the other day how, first off it's a little crazy a beer is $60 a bottle, yet it is underpriced because people will be willing to pay that and more for it. Not to mention when the dust settles, people will be asking for $300-400-600 worth of beers in return for 1 bottle of it. Hell I imagine there will be people outside of the event willing to buy bottles off people on the spot for a couple hundred dollars.

The only reason I would really enjoy going, would be because it'd be a pretty epic road trip to go with a buddy or two.

 

Haha that's an awesome idea ;-) I am happy with my submission to this event lol!

 

A certain "young'un" I know had the opportunity to stop by Selin's Grove Brewing this weekend and said their Pumpkin Ale on Nitro is up and pouring! He also said it is fantastic.......I can attest to that, not this years, but what I had from last year.

Yummmmmmmm.

 

I like the Food Saver packaging idea for cans. I have plenty of bags/enough rolls to make them.

 

You can officially add Rumpkin to your list for the tasting as well, it is in @zekeman17's hands and he tells me he's a definite to make it out there.

 

Aww crap, I think I drank that last night
No worries, Pumpkin beer is safe in my hands.

 

I had it years ago and I thought it was delicious as well. I need to get there and try it again this year.

 

Ha!

I guess that might have come off as if I was trying to "keep you honest", my bad. I just wanted @Mipper to know he didn't have to find one elsewhere.
