Fantasy football anyone?

[Dude]

I got mine today, too - holy craps, imagine if we had actually won! Damn, that's one might fine looking beer.

Alright, Todd's paid, Boston's paid, Bernie's paid; the rest of you (including me) - SLACKERS!

That sucker looks awesome, doesn't it?

Mine won't be going out for a while so don't hold your breath--unless you want somethign commercial that you can't get. I'm half tempted to get you guys St. George samplers, but.....I do want you all to try the S.O.S. for sure. We'll see.

 

[the_bird]

Mine will be going out in a week, I hope. If it's as good as I hope, I want you to try my IPA. If not, I'll see how the smoked porter's aging, I think it could use another week or two (still a little harsh).

The altiber is aging pretty well, getting pretty smooth, but it hasn't carbed worth sh!t. Did nothing different except I'm using swingtops this time, I'm wondering if they aren't sealing all that well.

 

[todd_k]

I'm still out of bubble wrap. Gotta bug SWMBO to find some more.

Just bottled my rye this Thu night. I'll sneak into one in 10 days and see how we're doing, then I'll be shipping "something".

 

[Dude]

To the winners: Drunksailors, Bernie & Bird...I'm ready to send beer!

What do you prefer? I have Sorachi Slammer, S,O.S. (Smoked IPA) as far as homebrew, or I can get together a few bottles of St. George's in kind of a sampler. Up to you guys, but I'm sending next week. Let me know.

 

[the_bird]

I'm intrigued by the smoked IPA, but the Slammer also sounds good.

Dude, make you a deal; if you send me one of each, I'll send you both a smoked porter and IPA.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Dude and Bird- I'm glad you got them safe and sound. WARNING!!!! I've never had their barley wine before, but their other brews are awesome. I got one for myself too but haven't cracked it yet. Let me know how it is.
Dude -If you don't mind, I'd like to try the ST. George's sampler
CHEERS!

No prob!

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

I've got Ablrbrau's beers boxed up ready to ship but need a box and rap for Dude's. When you going to be coming back over the mountain again bird? Save me the postage if I can meet you at Hennessy's.

 

[the_bird]

Either next weekend or the weekend following, I'll let you know.

 

[TCHDNSD]

I was taught that it was bad manners to invite yourself to a party, BUT, I would be very interested and willing to get in on a FFL for the upcoming '07 season. So if you need another "team", I'm there.

11 days in. I'm going to chill one of these Rye's tonight and see how it's going...

 

[user 574]

Ok Dude, Bird and Bernie. You got some choices to make. Everyone is getting 1 of my rye beers and since I'm such a nice cheesehead I'm throwing in an extra choice for Dude and Bird. Bernie still gets three. So what do you want from below? Here ya go:

Desert Dry Rye; details in my sig. You're getting 1, but can have another if you want.

The other two are from Nimbus brewery here in Tucson:

Old Monkey Shine
Beer Advocate Reviews here

Oatmeal Stout
Beer Advocate Reviews here

Let me know so I can make a UPS run.

 

[the_bird]

Monkey Shine sounds good.... but I'm really looking forward to the rye

One of each, please!

 

[Dude]

Yep, rye and monkeyshine for me!!!!

(thanks for the tip, DB!!! )

 

[Bernie Brewer]

one of each please!!!!!

 

[user 574]

Bernie (fedx), Bird (fedx) & Dude (ups). Your beers have been shipped ground. Should get em in 4-5 days. If not let me know I got the tracking numbers. The rye would be the rather non-descript brown bottle. My bottle label is a color coded splat of paint on the cap.

I only had one chance to try my rye since I can't drink for a week and since I''ve only had hop rod rye 1+ years ago I'll have to take your opinion how that bugger is (or dudes since it's "almost" his recipe).

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

Dude and Doug, your beers went out today, should get them the 14th. Sorry I couldn't offer you choices but I only bottled for this bet. Doug you got a pale ale, a dead guy clone and a porter(watch out these are a bit over carbed sorry) Dude you got the dead guy. bird, let me know the next time you're coming over and I'll pay you then.

Received today! I hadn't seen this post, so I wasn't sure what the beer was. I went ahead and put it under the bar to keep it cold. I'll dip into it tomorrow night and review it. Now that I know what it is, I'm really looking forward to this one!!!

 

[todd_k]

Bernie,

I still owe you 3 bottles. Should I send them now or wait? I'm worried about them freezing and breaking.

 

[user 574]

I just tracked my boxes to you guys and Bernie, looks like my box was left on your back door yesterday. Happy Hallmark day from Desert Brew... The other two are still cruising about the nation it appears.

Yup, got it- thanks!!! That's two deliveries so far- they're starting to trickle in!

 

[the_bird]

I've got to get mine in the mail soon.

Bernie, I'm going to supplement my brews with some local micros - what's your favorite style?

Geez I dunno- All I can say is I'm not a hophead. I like Brown ales, american reds, Bocks, Marzens, Kolsches, Hefes, & prolly a bunch more. Surprise me-keeping in mind that you caught me on dart night & I'm pretty looped
