    Should we get a hints and hauls thread up?

    To my sender: I am a Bruery Reserve member since 2011, so I am not really ISO of normal Bruery sours. We get excellent selections from Russian River, Cascade, Jolly Pumpkin, St. Somewhere, Allagash, but would really appreciate brewery-only releases from them. I would love to get more Upright, Crooked Stave, Logsdon, and smaller, newer breweries that are experimenting with new things. I have pretty good access to the basic Belgian stuff (Tilquin, 3F Oude Gueuze, Cantillon Rose/Gueuze/Kriek, Boon and Girardin), but would really like harder to get stuff (like Lou Pepe's) and vintage beers.

    I like tart and lightly funky saisons, but don't necessarily like beers that are all brett or all funk without some acidity to balance. I really like fruit lambics, but enjoy gueuze and unfruited wilds as well. I tend not to like darker sours and soured versions of normally clean beer stouts, barleywines, brown ales, old ales, etc.

    Thanks Soonami for helping my post lol.

    To my sender: I am not really ISO of normal Bruery sours. I have/ we get Russian River, Cascade, Jolly Pumpkin, St. Somewhere, Allagash, but would really appreciate the special releases from them. I would love to get more Upright, Crooked Stave, Logsdon, Hill Farmstead, Freetail, and smaller, newer breweries that are experimenting with new things, but taste good. I have pretty good access to the basic Belgian stuff (Tilquin, 3F Oude Gueuze, Boon and Girardin), but love cantillon stuff and vintage beers.

    I really like fruit lambics and gueuze, some favs vigneronne, sanctification older batches, beat, lou pepe series, fou foune, bambic, flora b3, etc.

    I will start heckling people to update wants in the next day or so to update wants if people still haven't.

    ALSO:

    I like that everyone is coming out and giving a little more description as to exactly what they want, but also I just don't want people to expect this to be a BIF of straight whales. I know we all want that, but that is not necessarily in reach for everyone. I just don't want people to be let down if they don't get a box full of Lou Pepe's, I'm sure the boxes are going to be epic regardless, but maybe not straight Loons.

    I'm not a member of any reserve societies so as long as it isnt distributed to NY and isnt on my gots I'll be happy.

    On another note, like jsilva I am having some trouble with my targets wants but I should be able to put together a pretty good box of beer nonetheless.

    My wants are mostly big beers and whales, but I honestly like just about everything. I'm not picky, but if I had to choose, I'd prefer a wild ale or lambic over a saison.

    quick questions.... will there be a round 5? I would love to hop in on round 5 once the sign up is open. For now, I will sit back and watch the hauls you guys all pull in!

    My wants seem to be hard to get, or I guess they wouldn't be on my wants list anymore. I'm a Crooked Stave & Bruery Reserve Society member, PA gets alot of good beer so maybe check seekabrew to see if it makes it here. Aside from that, anything good is good for me, whether its well known or a local.
    Heres what i've been drinking lately...
