Thanks again Jason! Still can't get over this squad of beers! Enjoying this watching some sporanos
 
Ok guys! It's time for the finale!

These look like some great brews! I'm especially pumped for the stuff from Maine and Jack's Abby. I've heard so many great things about those two breweries. ANd that sour cherry stout sounds RIDICULOUS!

Thanks John!!

Here's to the next swap!!! :mug:

I am glad they all made the trip. That full malted jacket was a small release and it took me a few trips to finally find it. The Angelino ipa is Angel City Brewing's first bottle. The home-brew is my first attempt at a saison hope you like it.

Pick where I should start man I can't make up my mind! Lol
 
Lol sounds like a plan. I'll line then IP tonight in the fridge and knock them down tomorrow in the pm. I'm looking forward to this.

I can totally believe it. That beer got better and better the closer I got to the end. Really surprised me. Didn't know i was such a fan of dark IPAs !

Val, the growler contains a beer which was only brewed once and will not be brewed again. It's called Replicale. The members of the Illinois brewers guild every year each brew a beer with the same ingredients, fitting within the same parameters but each brewery uses a different hop. The offering from Tighthead this year uses centennial hops. Here's a link to more info on the project http://www.illinoisbeer.com/replicaleproject/ I hope it stayed carbonated for you, I gave it a few extra wraps of electrical tape to hopefully add a little insurance. I hope you enjoy!

Tasty brew. You can totally smell the centennial. The travel did not help the carbonation it was a bit flat but, nonetheless it's a great brew. Thank you sir!

Awesome stuff! Scored 2 4-packs when I was up in Mass the other week, down to 2 bottles left. Might have to go back up just for it

Funny, I was going to send you 2 but I thought twice when you requested no pilsners. I know there different styles but knew you would like it so I went with one. lol

Glad you enjoyed it! Apparently they are starting distro to NY soon so hopefully ill be able to get my hands on more soon.

Cheers!

One thing I really like to is how I picked those bottles of Maine beer co up from the brewery fresh. They went into a cooler then the rental fridge, back in a cooler on the way home and have been in the fridge since then. What im trying to say is those bad boys only have around 7 days of warm temps on them and that beer traveled from one of the highest north eastern points to one of the most western points in America!
 
Nice! I think I'll be having the peeper tonight. Tom is sitting in my cellar, aka my fermentation fridge turned down to 55F.

Excluding pilsners was totally arbitrary. IPL is probably one of my favorite styles right now. Clean and hoppy.

I'm interested to hear how you like the Peeper Ale. I got one of those in my trade and was a little shocked to find it tasted almost watered down. I'm guessing it was a bad batch or something, so really curious to hear how you like it.

Finally got a chance to try this

I can see what you mean by "watered down" it's a bit thin. But I think it's a very refreshing beer. A tad more body would do it wonders. But overall I think it's real tasty.

Anyone know the OG or FG on this guy?

Edit: I checked the website, 1.047 OG, so with 5.5% alc that means FG is 1.005, hence the thinness...

I love peeper. I think one of the reasons is the body, one can drink it and not feel full. Great hop aroma, too. maine beer never disappoints!

Almost all of there stuff is very light/clean/dry yet extreamly aromatic.
Brewery fresh there something else, but for the most part every beer they put out i can drink multiples of, and thats a good thing compared to the ABV on some of them!

Glad you enjoyed it!
 
Haha! Well hopefully I can hit that by following swap. This one, I think, is too close for me to rack them up that fast
