Halle Berry's pet Octopus: NBS BIF 8

I'm in that ballpark as well, got a couple more boxes going out next week sometime. Just QA checked this one, it makes the cut.

 

WHY ARE ALL PACKAGES THIS ROUND NUCLEAR!?!

 

Oh God........damage pics once I get them!

I’m starting to feel like @FlintB ......lol

 

I dunno.....I didn’t do anything!

 

I think it's likely to be brewery only, and I might have a decent read on when it's going to drop. If there is any way for me to grab some, I will. It would more than make up for no BCBW this year.

 

And how!

Do you get any of their beers in Michigan? I know they send some around the US and are distributed by Shelton Bros. But I'm pretty sure I've only seen them in stores in Vermont (which might actually be closer to their brewery then Montreal is).

 

Yeah, definitely in VT and they are great. On tap around sometimes too (especially Waterbury area).

 

Unfortunately, no. We took a family vacation to Quebec city and Vermont this summer and I picked up some bottles while in Quebec. Hadn't heard of them before that, but they are definitely on my list now.

 

Same boat here: no idea how many oz I've sent. I will be sending out 1 box next week to a member who wants to get some harder to get states. There will be some others going out as well.

 

Nice! Quebec City's a cool place to visit and as far as family vacations are concerned, I doubt you were ever wanting for tasty beer. Dunham definitely makes some quality beers. For some weird reason, that one I sent to @superspak was actually labeled for sale in the US and I'm pretty sure it even had the US bottle deposits marked on the label. So it is obviously available somewhere but it might just be a demand thing and if people don't try it they don't really have a reason to request it from their stores. I don't understand how any of that works, though.

 

Good morning everybody!
This is a partial cross-post with today's WBAYDN - another from @Bum4ever:



Undated can. Stored at 42 degrees and served at 50 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter.
Appearance – 4.25.
Body – Dark brown/black, opaque. When held to the light, the only penetration occurs at the base of the ring.
Head – Large (Maximum 6.5 cm, aggressive center pour), tan, high density, good retention, diminishing to a seven to thirteen mm ring and a complete, rocky layer.
Lacing – Fair. A single fragment of a wide ring of tiny to small bubbles appears.
First pour – Dark brown, clear.
Aroma – 4 – Coffee! Then some roasted malt.
Flavor – 4.25 – The flavor begins with a COFFEE/chocolate/almond, slightly sweet, taste. The chocolate fades but the almond remains, as does the weakening coffee. No alcohol, no diacetyl, no dimethylsulfide.
Palate – 4 – Medium, almost creamy, soft carbonation.
Impression and interpretation – 4.25 - An interesting combination of flavors, worth trying a second time.

Thanks Josh! This is the best Mikkeller brew I've had to date.

Rating 4.17, rDev -4.4%.

 

So, does that mean I should wait a couple of weeks before I return fire upon you?

 

You know there is more than one Mike with my last name in South Carolina!!!

 

Yeah i was not sweating the cans the bottles scare the hell out of me though. Maybe cans USPA and bottles in a 12 shipper Fedex.

 

Crazy, I would have thought that Mike Dragginballs was a pretty rare name let alone for there to be multiple in a single state.

 

You can't just go around bombing people willy nilly and call a truce!



That's writing checks your liver can't cash.

 

I was pleased with a lot of the Quebec beer that I got to try. The saison game, especially, seems to be very strong- which is great for me. We stopped for lunch at Brasserie Harricana in Montreal, and I was very impressed with their barrel program.

We barely get any Ontario beers in Michigan, which is crazy. A couple of Bellwoods bottles showed up earlier this year, but that's feeling like a one-off drop. I'd love to see a lot more.

It means that you should forward anything you were thinking of sending me to @SammyJaxxxx . Everyone should.
