FT: Alpine Nelson & Pure Hoppiness

Hi everyone,
I recently found this subforum and was hoping to give it a shot. I picked up a couple bottles of fresh Alpine Nelson and a single bottle of Alpine Pure Hopiness. Just looking to trade for something good that I can't get here is So Cal. If you would like anything else in the trade also feel free to ask and I'll see what I can get.

How about some Cigar City Jai Alai IPA and Jose Marti Porter?

And can you get Pliny?

Sure, sounds great. I'll swing by the spot that carries Pliny on my way home. Usually my timing is poor and they are already out, but it won't hurt to try.

i bet you can can trade those without adding pliny on top of your list!

I'd expect whatever is added to the trade is even on both sides.

I'd suggest adding some white oak jai alai to that list! Yummmmmm

They were out of Duet?

The probably had it and I wasn't looking. Their facebook page keeps an updated listing of what they have on tap for growlers and for bottles for the week and weekend.

I understand everybody and their mother wants to try Pliny...but Nelson is 100x better of an IPA, in my opinion.

That's funny I was talking with a guy who own a brew shop in NH and he said the exact same thing. I want to try alpine brews even more now

Nelson might be my favorite IPA on the planet. Alpine makes some unbelievable beers. Nelson, Duet, and Bad Boy (Bad Boy is draft only) are all top tier IPAs. Haven't had a chance to try Exponential Hoppiness yet, but I will one day.

Dave1096, I would have to agree with you. Since first trying it about five or so years ago, it still is my favorite beer today. But Pliny certainly is worth finding as well. I did end up sending him a Pliny in the trade too, so he will be able to be his own judge. Cheers.

Don't get me wrong...I absolutely love Pliny. It's a great beer, and I'll never turn one down. I just won't go out of my way to get it like I will some other beers (like Nelson). The one really impressive thing about Pliny, though, is that it is the beer that started the IIPA style, and it's still one of the better ones out there.

Looks like I need to start looking for some.

:smack:

Youd rather have the Alpine....best IPAs in the country

It's part of my beervana. I enjoyed a Nelson the other day. Was quite good, but the Pliny in my fridge is dying to be drunk.
