Hello All, So a few months back, I had the pleasure of meeting a really cool guy named Joe at a DeGarde release. He later sent me a bottle of La Tache (Rum Barrel-Aged w/ Peaches) just so I could try it. I want to repay the favor, but I seem to have lost all of his info and can't even remember his username on this site. It was something to the effect of "joefrombend" and he's just a cool dude that lives in Bend and loves DeGarde. If you guys can help in this search, it would be awesome. THANKS! PS - I'm also terrible with names, but I'm 90% it was Joe...could have been John...but I'm pretty sure its Joe.
You remember any physical characteristics? I know a few people from here who have traveled for DeGarde releases, but none of them are named Joe or John.
He came up with his wife, they both worked/work in healthcare down in Bend. He's about 6'2", medium build, caucasian fellow...no real physical qualities that really stand out like a mohawk or wearing crocs....sadly.
I know who you're talking about. No idea what his username/info is. I know he's an Ale Apothecary club member as well. /endsuperhelpfulpost
Yeah, as soon as he said the guy gave up a bottle of Rum Peach La Tache, I knew it couldn't be you. :-) You're super generous, but I didn't think you'd give away the beer you've been hunting yourself.
Nope, not hunting per se. I had 6 of them at one time. Edit: But thanks for calling me a scrooge on Christmas eve.
Keeping that for an album title. I'll mention you in the credits. (Or: Keeping that for a beer name. I'll put your face on the label.)
