Man, you're missing out, go get a couple bottles of Ayinger Celebrator or if you can't find it, another doppelbock. They take everything you think you know about how lagers taste and throw it out the window.

Cheap too, only 3 bucks a bottle!!

Voodoo Hoppy-ass lager is probably my favorite local lager. Really decent if you're a hop head.

Should be packing everything up today and shipping tomorrow. I'm always IPA heavy on these things... I hope my recipient likes hops!

Ditto.

Bombs away!

I think that marks the halfway point...about half the people in the tread have already shipped and received. This round is just trucking

Made all my purchases. Went to 7 different places in 2 states to get it all. Waiting for the go ahead to ship mine.

Hmmm wonder where you are shipping to... lol

I'll be finishing mine up over the coming weekend.

I'm going to pack up tonight. I was so hungover yesterday I couldn't even look at the beer. That's about a once a year event for me.

I've had ayinger. I never really thought of what style I was drinking at the time. I guess I assumed it was a dark wheat beer. I'll pick one up again and give it the time it deserves.

I am so anxious to get mine. Feels like Christmas Eve!

Unless people have shipped and I wasnt notified, we only have 5 packages shipped total.

Meaning all the talk of the packages going out the next few days, prior to the 1st.

I will be shipping out either tomorrow or wed. My dumb@ss bought gabf winners and then realized all except the one from terrapin (that I didn't buy) are also distributed to my recipient so I'm buying the other half today and packing.

For you Chicago, IL folks, how easy is it to come by Pipeworks * Truffle Abduction?

Beermenus tells me that there are a couple places by me with the Orange Truffle Abduction, but I haven't had it.

I may have to trade to get a bottle of one of those...they sound interesting

If you want I can swing by the places and pick one up and we can see if we can work out some trade.(obviously more than just the one bottle).

Now that the hype has died down a bit, they are easier to get. Plus I think they make more now, vs. The first batches.

You do have to keep an eye out for when they are released though, they are gone within a week.

seems like more than 5 have been shipped. its all talk!!

you guys should try adding maltodextrin to your IPA's. it really does wonders. try post carbonation with a beer.

I agree, I think more than five have shipped haha. I just have no confirmation. Its all good, I try to check off after a guy gets a box anyway.

Going to make a special trip tomorrow to finish off my package and getting a special extra delivered to put in the box as well. I'll probably ship Wednesday.

hey Val, that Angelino IPA that you sent me...good stuff brother. Really a nice blend of hops

Someone 798 miles away from me was just left a package.
