Fellowship of the Drink IV: I'm out of Lord of the Rings Puns

[afro_lou]

I'm in on this! Been wanting to do this for a while now. I've traded with Lou before, if I need someone to vouch for me, and I know he's been a part of this already.

This is gonna be a good round! I can't imagine a need for you to be vouched for, but I'll vouch! [emoji16][emoji106]

 

[Homercidal]

Not sure I can get KBS in time for this round. I might be willing to put a bottle of last year's in the hat, if anyone wants to drink OLD BEER, that is.

Damn. I was gonna throw a '16 kbs in mine and some Odd Sides. I guess I'll not mix it up and stick to Chicago. I spend 95% of my time between Chicago and Grand Rapids. They're both my home. It's hard to choose one over the other. I guess Chicago is fair for me to choose with you in the mix.

Now I gotta figure out if I'm gonna drop a Pipeworks bomb or a Revolution bomb. Tough choice for sure. I'll toss a Pseudo Sue in too just because they recently started distributing here and I'm excited. Lol! Oh! Damn... but what bout Half Acre? Oh, this is gonna be tough.



OP: Glassware. Hmmmm. I don't buy labeled glasses. Could I just send an unlabeled fancy glass, or do I really need to hunt down a brewery glass? I've got quite a few unused/brand new stemmed stout glasses...?

Edit: Would one of these work? I could toss in a few extra beers to even it out. Hell! I'll probably toss in more anyways! I can't help myself when sharing... lol!

The only stipulation is that it's (1) piece of glassware. Looks like you have (2). It's less appealing to some who want the variety of logo's but IMHO, good beer trumps a glass in an offer.

Almost there.

Only two spots left.

Can I get in on this

You're in at 24. One spot left.

Definitely grab some Chicago beers! I might decide to choose yours!

I'm trying to find some Quality beers from smaller Michigan breweries so there is less chance people can find them where they live. Not leaving out some rare big names, though.

That's what I do. Sweetwater and Terrapin have pretty good distribution, so I try and find the newer and smaller breweries that not many people can get.

 

[badgerfan79]

I'll grab that last spot.

 

[GaBrewZoo]

Okay, we are all set. Two offers are already in, but still plenty of time. Let's have a good round.

[jimyson]

I guess I should start shopping.

 

[GaBrewZoo]

I guess I should start shopping.

Me and the wife visited a local brewery last week, actually the top rated brewery in the state, and I picked up two special bottle releases and a glass. Just have to decide on another beer or two and I'll be all set.

We went and drove to three new breweries this past week -- but only one wasn't growlers-only. Still! One beer down!

Now I just have to find a few more breweries.

 

[cegan09]

Visiting a place tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have my offer ready by the end of the weekend.

I'll have to talk to you about what breweries to visit in your area. We are going up there early April for a week.

Sure thing. There's a ton of awesome ones in the area.

 

[RevKev]

Damn. I just picked up some really nice stuff... I'm excited to get my pic in

 

[RevKev]

Realized the local brewery I was gunna get a glass from is closed. Ugh, will have to wait until tomorrow

 

[Scturo]

I better get to brewery hopping. I will make it a mix of SoCal Breweries. That way me and @gromitdj have less chance of having the same offer.

HaHa! We could always discuss prior to shopping, since we are likely not going to pick each others offer. I was going to reach out for some recommendations anyhow.

 

[k1ngl1ves]

Picked up my offering today! I hope no one else in this is from Chicago. I kinda covered the basics, and stuck to the City of Chicago as close as I could. Only the tip of the iceberg really. I skipped Goose Island, 'cus it's friggin everywhere nowadays and not anything special...

I'm excited for this exchange.

That's a good idea. We can meet up at a pub or brewery for a booze...I mean brainstorming session,
