Thanks man! Nicely done! This is a great assortment AND I get two Ghost in the Machines!

Drink that Ghost and Envie soon. You got a triple treat basically. This batch of Ghost was brewery only and this was the first batch of the reformulated Envie. Andrew resorted to calling it Baby Ghost to describe it (it's an APA that drinks like a session IPA). Glad that I could help get your wish granted. Time to go pour the rest of the Pompeii. :mug:

Good ol' Lazy Mag, too bad you didn't get to try them ~10 years ago. Their quality has gone downhill, in my opinion. Surprised SoPro wasn't in there, I believe you guys get that down there in LA.

I never had Lazy Mag 10 years ago, but now they are pretty hit and miss (mostly miss, IMO). Some of their regular lineup is pretty solid (I like Southern Pecan and Jefferson Stout), but every seasonal or special release I have had from them has been awful.

We do get Southern Prohibition, but rarely do I see singles anywhere, and I don't like any of their beers enough to buy a 4 or 6 pack.

No problem, hope you enjoy! That Grand Reserve typically ages very well. I actually haven't tried this year's yet. And Toby is right, drink the Ghost and Envie fresh!

If it weren't for my office holiday party and the Star Wars movie the ghost and envie Would be gone already. They won't last the weekend, or likely tomorrow

Thanks again!

Before they started expanding their distro, and contract brewing for other start up breweries, Southern Pecan was my favorite beer. It seems as they shot themselves in the foot trying to do too much too fast.

Crooked Letter, from what I have heard, was going down this path and have learned that contract brewing was hindering their own production. They will not be contract brewing anymore.

I am not sure what all you get from SoPro. I am not a fan of Suzy B or the Devils Harvest. Suzy Smash was great. Fire Ant is hit or miss sometimes.Jack the sipper is a solid ESB.

They have serious sanitation issues from what I saw when the AHA Rally was held there.

That makes sense at their size. Lazy Mag almost has no choice but to sell their spare capacity.

We get almost all their stuff. Suzy Smash is excellent. Fire Ant depends on how fresh it is. Jack is a very good ESB. I've liked most of the Cicada Series. We also got the spoils of their Barley Legal first batch mishap.

25 pound package of goodness sent to Gentlemans_Ale. Tracking number pm'ed. Scheduled to touch down Thursday if no delays.
 
It was bound to happen and it finally did. Fedex broke 2 bottles in the shipment to Gentlemans_Ale and won't deliver the remaining package. Gentlemans_Ale get in touch with me because you can pick it up.

I'm glad that stuff survived. Really sad the alpine nelson and duet were the two that broke though. They were even vacuum sealed so I don't know how hard the kicked the package to break those and make them leak. That's a 2014 Mad Elf btw. It should be better now. I like a year of age on them.

*sigh* ok, I'll grant this since you have listed some things that are quite close to my house, and otherwise probably a bit difficult for others to get. Please send me a PM with your info.

I can grant this.
 
LIST:

Spencer Trappiste
Hill Farmstead
Any cider from small producers
Anything with limited distribution outside of Ohio
Local/small producer sodas or kombucha are also welcome
Any homebrew that's not overly bitter

I like malty session beers, stouts and porters. I dislike most IPAs.

Is this enough? Too broad?
