The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Haven't done one of these in a while....VBS courtesy of @Ncpogs:

 

Ha ha was actually stalking @LehighAce06 before I send his box out.

 

Some food/beer **** for you animals...pan seared duck breast, oven roasted Brussel sprouts with a honey balsamic glaze and some frozen peroigies with spicy ketchup compliments of @Clarkson....victory at sea courtesy of newcomer @Xtent

 

I am much excite.

 

we don't know for sure, but you are now on the master list (you are number 62, although I think at most 58. and realistically more like 52, are still viable)

 

You must love moderating this group -- we are (usually) very low maintenance

 

I would think stalking @LehighAce06 takes about 19 hours a day...

 

really just popped in to give well wishes to @PassMeAZima ,but yes you guys never get any reports and are very tame, other groups are "high maintenance" and a little more work.

 

Yes, Feemont is pretty easy to find in Seattle. Their limited brews (KDS and BBomb) last for weeks or months at most establishments. The more limited brews (KDS and BBomb variants) do sell out rather quickly (coffee kds is gone). I think she can score some BBomb and Cinnabomb at Metropolitan Market or WF in Queen Anne (more so than bottleworks). Cinnabomb sold out at the brewery in less than 48 hours and im not sure how much of it hit distro. All other Fremont brews are widely available and BW does have fresh batches all the time. If you or anybody else need any help i think i can still get some BBomb, Cinnabomb and maaaybe KDS (aka ba dark star).
Fair warning- I'd ship mid to late February.
Cheers

 

Wait a minute... you are the guy who is trading @LehighAce06 a Kiwi Herman for whatever he wants to send you right? Yes, you definitely belong in this group!!

 

Love that its in a 'Big Mike's Pub' glass! I just shared a Wisconsin Belgian Red bottle with friends over the weekend while making some homebrew. No one had ever heard of New Glarus so they were a bit sad they couldn't find it on the shelves around here... Thankfully some of my drinking buddies have a bit wider beer knowledge A lot of them appreciate good beer but don't know much about beer that isn't in NC distro.

 

I am way more amused by "Kiwi Herman" than I should be. But yes, he belongs (we are not noted for our stringent membership requirements, and despite one or two notables exception that's worked out pretty well)

 

Yes the glass was a gift -- I'm never sure when to use it, but had no clue wtf kind of glass to put a fruit beer in so this worked...

 

So today I got a call on my cell phone from an irate woman. It seems an employee of mine, off the clock but in the store, asked two of his friends and two young girls he didn't know if they wanted to go some some pot. Turns out the girls are 11 and mom was furious. Seems, at times, I'm in the wrong business.

I like beer. It's almost exactly 7 days until I get to enjoy a beer again. Need to start battle planning.

 

Enjoy Bill! I love all those brews and hope you enjoy them!

 

I heard Freemont is next up on the chopping block for AB...





Too soon?

 

Small bottle share tonight! #vbs

 

I do love the New Glarus fruits. They're all over the top flavor-wise, but sometimes that's exactly what I want!

 

Now that's a small but ridiculously awesome lineup!

 

Ha ! i do like some of the Elysian stuff a lot, but not nearly as much as Fremont.
Frankly, I'm in the camp of as long as they dont screw with the recipes and the brewery's "vibe" - good for them to get acquired. Why penalize successful brewers that managed to get rewarded for their hard work?
