Growling at the Moon - April

Got my target and they lucked out. There happens to be a want in the tap rotation comming up

 

Will be able to knock off a couple of wants for my target without a problem, now the question is what interesting growler do they get?

 

Err, can you guys help me? How do you get to see the old want/got pages? I know it's possible but I can't figure it out.

Replace yourtarget with the name of the BA you want to view

 

I am shipping out Monday, to the 12th biggest state in the US, and has 87 counties, and the population is just under 5,000,000 people!

 

A lucky BA will be drinking by Friday hopefully!

 

Package dropped off! Heading to a state named for its river.

 

I just dropped my box off! Sending a bottle of something that I just noticed the target already has, though there's nothing wrong with adding a '12 to the vertical. Also, growler was poured by the brewer himself about an hour from where David Mamet taught William H. Macy about acting.

 

New Moon in April is the 21st. Is this the official deadline for this period that everyone is cool with?

 

Had some running around to do after work today, but when I got home, there was a box waiting for me. Inside I found a Lake Placid Growler marked BW 08, which I can only assume means Barleywine"08. Then I started unwrapping some sweet bottles

Hangar 24 Chocolate Porter
'07 Bigfoot
'10 Backwoods Bastard
'11 Central Waters Kosmyk Charlie's y2k Castastrophe Ale

and a Opa Opa pint Glass

Couldn't find a BA handle anywhere, so Adam from CT Thanks for the awesome box!

 

That would be the dream team of Naproxen/Beertruth.

 

Hope my target is thirsty. Package is on the truck and out for delivery.

 

Cool, I hope they chime in here, I'ld like to know what's in the Growler before I drink it!

 

To quote Naproxen from somewhere else: "Not sure if there is a note, the growler is the appropriately named Air Mail Ale from Willibrew."

 

Well I believe TMath524 knocked this round out of the park.

Here were the amazing contents (I apologize for not getting a picture up as my camera is MIA)

2L growler of Hill Farmstead Abner (One of my favorite 3 breweries, and Sean does the most amazing hop forward beers outside of CA in my super duper humble opinion).

and if that wasn't enough by itself;

1L growler of Hill Farmstead Galaxy (I was only able to try double galaxy last year, so I believe this is the single IPA version?)
750ml of Hill Farmstead Arthur (just drank my last Arthur two weeks ago with some local BA's, glad to have another one for the spring / summer)
x2 Heady Topper (another awesome beer, one had a pin sized leak, but the bag kept all the liquid contained and I cracked it after opening and it was as great as always)

and a Hill Farmstead stemmed wine glass!

Huge thanks for the amazing box, 3L of hoppy Hill Farmstead goodness, a great beer in my favorite style from one of my favorite breweries, 32oz of Heady Topper and a fantastic looking glass that will certainly become part of my regular rotation. Looking forward to sharing these beers with some great BA's this weekend!

 

That is the Double Galaxy. Double IPA, single hop. They're pretty inconsistent with what they call that one. It said "Galaxy" on the website and the labels, and "Double Galaxy" on the whiteboard at the brewery. Whatever. Shaun Hill himself poured those, so he can call them whatever he wants.

And the Arthur has a new yeast, so it should taste a little different this time around.

Glad you like it! Sorry about the hole in the Heady. Good thing I threw two in!

 

Absolutely do not worry about the heady, glad you had the foresight to bag so it didn't compromise the rest of the package because that would have been a tragedy

Ok so Galaxy / Double Galaxy is the same beer, long suspected that but the confirmation is welcome.

Yea you can tell a guy who cares filled the growlers as they are right to the top.

Looking forward to revisiting Arthur with a new yeast, assume they are adding bugs like Art, or is it a new saison strain?

Again thanks for the great box as it is very much appreciated. The timing works out great as I'm hosting a good sized tasting on Saturday where many Chicagoland BA's will be able to enjoy that Abner.

Cheers!

 

A package should be arriving today, somewhere other than Harrisburg PA.

 

A box just landed in Minnesota on someone's door step! Cheers, dc55110
