The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

One more box from Cincinnati scheduled to hit in MN today filled with local treats, swag and some wants.

 

I wasn't in the door from work for more than 5 minutes before this was in my glass. Delicious

 

Imperial Berliner Weisse in my badass Madtree glass. Love this BIF!

 

Someone in MN should check their porch..if it is still in tact...

 

sticking with the wheat theme

I really like this beer. Anyone have some of these aging? This brewery is very underrated IMO.

 

It's almost like this beer is a right of passage for this group

 

Funny you say that; I sent one out, and also gave one to an offline buddy, but I still haven't drank it myself

 

I also haven't had it... come to think of it, I actually don't think I've had any pizza boy beers... I really need to change that, especially considering how (relatively) close I live to them.

Continuing downing beers from this round, I had 4 last night, drinking another now. It'll slow down soon though, almost through the more time sensitive stuff, and will probably be drinking less over the next month or so as I'm gonna be pretty busy (but who knows, sometimes it's hard to resist)

 

I have been behind on posting as I have been away from home this weekend. Anyway, this past Thursday, I got some retribution from @cultclassic89 from my ninja box.

Jester King Das Wunderkind - First JK! Awesome!
Pseudo Sue - Really??? Always a want!
Goose Island BCBWS - Want
Toppling Goliath Hopsmack - Another TG in this package. This is amazing!
Lone Plant Yellow Rose - another Texas brew. Great!
Ballast Point Sea Monster - big fan of BP, so awesome!

Getting to try my first Texas brews on top of favorites. Woah!

Thank you very much @cultclassic89 ! You killed it! This is not over!

 

Those Toppling Goliath brews are INCREDIBLE, easily among my favorite hoppy beers; and I firmly believe that Yellow Rose stands right up to them. Awesome box Tim!

 

Who else needs one to "Complete the set?" -- my OCD wants/needs to know!

I couldn't agree more with this statement.

Dat Yellow Rose, Eddy ... GET. IT. IN. THE. FRIDGE. STAT.


my 1st entry into the VBS. I just finished the background and poured the foreground. I only trade via this thread and a non-BA trade group, and I couldn't be happier. This week/weekend I have been beat down with world class hoppy beers, and all I can say is ...The Beer Karma IS real!

Cheers gents!

 

Jacks Abby is always the shit. And Kiwi Rising if freaking fantastic.

 

At Toronado having RR Blind Pig, Alpine Hoppy Birthday and Alpine Double O'Briens IPA.

Maybe next is Celebration on cask.

 

Lots of football to watch, I've got good beer to watch it with.

 

I did the exact same thing.

 

Drooling...as I said before. Focal and Congress St. are the two best IPAs. Period.

 

...and you inspired me sir...

 

VBS... Earlier I had Locksley from Mystery Brewing, an English Bitter (should be low-carb) that gushed like crazy (the IPA I had from them last night did the same... not sure what's going on over there). Not at all worth photographing. Up next is something I expect much more from, Odell 5 Barrel Pale Ale. This is much more worth photographing, but um... I'm lazy, so I'm not going to. (Leave me alone, the v is for "virtual" not "visual"...)

 

Today was glorious. Auburn loses to A&M. We beat LSU in overtime. I'm drinking in so many tears.

And this guy:



Cheers to a wonderful day of football!

 

This was part of the fun and festivities last night, 9 beers and 9 people made for a lot of sample glasses but it was so much fun drinking all of these side by side. FWIW, I'm sorry if I've sent anybody a Passion Fruit Abduction, it's nowhere nearly as good as the rest...
