Berry White was quite possibly the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. The Framboesa Atando from superstition was also amazing.
 
Awesome MAW box from BigPerm.

I am going to be at CBC next week and have a few questions for the Philly natives...

1. What is the most underrated brewery in Philly?
2. What is the best beer bar?
3. What is the best "under the radar" beer bar? (trying to avoid crowds if possible)
4. How and where does one buy good beer to go (bottles and cans) in Philly?

Thanks in advance guys!

Not from there, but I been there quite a few times. I would:

1.Hit Tired Hands (I haven't been to the new spot). I wasn't really super impressed with any Philly proper breweries. Forest and Main is out by Tired Hands.
2.Monks is the most well known and gets the most limited stuff.
3.i like Prohibition Taproom, Eulogy, Kite and Key, Memphis Taproom and others. This can be useful: http://www.phillytapfinder.com
4.the Foodery usually has stuff, but lube up. I don't usually buy any beer to take home from Philly.

Any interest in Schramm's Black Agnes? Would need to double check, but think I might have 1 other from your list.

Nope I am good with either, I have had both batches actually and liked it enough to add it to my list.
 
So is that a grant?

It is now. I wouldn't have just granted with 2 of the Piety since B2 was significantly easier to get, but I do have the other thing that I wanted to use with the Piety B1, so...

Granted! Need to fill it out over the weekend with some cool stuff, but should ship Tuesday at the latest (Monday most likely). @zazbnf send me yo info.

I carried this box out to my car over lunch, won't have a chance to unpack until later this evening. Just one question, where do I send the bill for the hernia I got from carrying that box?

Now the afternoon is going to drag on forever......

Always lift with your legs. Enjoy!
 
Amazing 40lb MAW grant from TobyG. My back may never be the same and I hear the FedEx guy filed for disability after delivering this one.

Also a MAW package just landed a bit ago to California.

Am I delusional or did you send an OG funk metal out and you are looking for one at the same time? Think I sent you one way back.
 
Pretty sure that's a Farmhouse Black Metal, and he is Wanting an OG Black metal. The BA sexual chocolate looks like a BA Sexual chocolate


Good eye, the Black Metal is a 2015 farmhouse yeast version, and yes that is a BA sexual chocolate. Definitely looking forward to that one, have been searching for a while.

Toby was also very generous in sending me both Batch 1 and Batch 2 Piety.

You did send me an OG Black Metal, but the one I sent Walt was the Farmhouse version from late last year (B17 IIRC). It's one of the better versions since they switched yeast, but OG >> B*

And a BA Sexual Chocolate, lol. Generous Toby, giving up what's on his MAW list

lol...yeah, I had two, so I didn't mind giving one up. I also wouldn't mind adding one back, especially if it's a year other than 2015.

The secret to my landing them was Stille Nacht Reserva.
 
Funk Metal =/= Farmhouse Black Metal. It was a beer back when they still had OG Black Metal around.
