    Thanks. I've done some trades on other sites. Plan on doing the whole ISO in a few weeks once things slow down for me.

    From what my buddy told me, the Sea Hag was pretty cheap, too ($9something)- I wish I had something like that around here for that price.

    to clarify a bit... they did (bought ghandi-bot in Boston as recently as last summer), and should again. unfortunately for us, NEBC pulled out of Mass for now, apparently a distribution scale-back in order to better serve their local market. IIRC the hope was to resume distribution in a year or so, but it was left somewhat vague.

    Local stores just dropped their prices on Sea Hag. $8.79 per six pack.

    Makes sense. Climb up there and ask him if he trusts his wife. Then offer him a JA 2nd Anniversary (just hit stores In the last couple of weeks.) :slight_smile:

    I think MA has seen the last of Daytime for a while. They supposedly used some of the more limited hops to make extra Sucks and don't have enough for more full runs of Daytime and are only sending fresh Daytime to very small markets.

    Don't forget Maharaja. I have a seen a few bottles in different stores.
    Make sure the carpenter drinks it after finishing working and not on the roof.

    Are you saying the BA in you can't do that because it's not your favorite? I think it's great and I'll assume you mean you just want to buy a variety.

    Obviously, Maine Brewing Co. Lunch. Obviously.

    I am saying the BA in me can't resist an opportunity to give someone variety and maybe try something they haven't. I like 60 minute just fine. Opportunity to spread the word.

    Crooked Tree and Big Sky IPA are mediocre at best.

    In a way, I sort of agree with you on Big Sky, but mediocre in a good way, if that makes any sense whatsoever.

    As for Crooked Tree, it's a matter of getting it at the right time. I've had a six pack in my refrigerator for a few weeks. It was absolutely world class when I drank a couple bottles after I first got it. However, I just opened a bottle and it's far less impressive than it was.

    Do you want anyone doing ANY kind of work for you drinking high abv beers? My workers Arturo and Jose do a damn good job with their bud lights....id honestly be afraid to see them work after a 4 pack of 90 minute i.p.a.

    Thanks for the advice,but I have addressed this several times already in the thread.

    1. There will be no beer provided (by me or anyone else) during the project.
    2. This is being given after the project is completed in appreciation of the effort.
