Fellowship of the Drink XVI: No more yankie my wankie. The Donger need beer!

[afro_lou]

Hoooooo boy! What a box showed up for me today!

Can’t thank the man, the myth, the legend, @pshankstar enough!

Had to crack open his American Barleywine straight out of the box, it was at the perfect serving temp!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Craft Lagers are being pushed HARD

Seek out Suarez out of NY!

 

[CTownBrewer]

Received my box today from the #1 pick @CTownBrewer !!!

Incredibly generous, I absolutely cannot wait to dig into these!

Glad everything made it! Enjoy!

 

[CTownBrewer]

Okay, I need help from those who shipped me stuff and searching the forums didn't help. I finally went through the cellar and updated it, but I have a few bottles where I didn't write on it where they came from.

I think these are from @fourfarthing or perhaps @pshankstar, but I can't remember if it's one of you guys or someone else.

Grassroots Brewing - Convivial Suarez
Plan Bee Farm Brewery - Barn Beer

Those are the only two unknowns. Otherwise I have a nice collection of Jackie O's continuing to grow from @jimyson.

An ever growing collection of Rare Barrel which was started by @afro_lou and myself (now a member).

And my personally collected Yeast of Eden's; however, it appears I may be missing one or two from their collection (doh). That was before I started hoarding them.

Nice looking cellar!

Hit me up if you ever go to any of the Rare Barrel club events. I try to get to as many as I can. They usually have pretty stacked guest taps for most of them.

 

[pshankstar]

I am happy to see the porch bomb arrived safely at @afro_lou's house! Phew FedEx had me a little nervous. Thank you Lou for the feedback on the Barleywine too! I may need to bring one to my sister's house to open and share with family today.

@dpinette2 I just left you feedback bud! Thank you again! Cheers everyone and onto more coffee this morning!

 

[fourfarthing]

Stillings is probably my favorite IPA they make. That jumping rope from Nightshift is great. Not sure how familiar you are with them, but they put out quality stuff, and Lamplighter is under the radar, quality stuff! Enjoy!!!

PS-That Evil 3 was insane!

Lamplighter is amazing

 

[fourfarthing]

Yeah, I thought they were both from you; however, I couldn't remember for certain. Thanks, spreadsheet updated.

ps: I now have a box large enough for the food saver and some more homebrews that I still owe you, and I finally got around to bottling the homebrews, so there's that as well. I want to try one of them first though (that is tomorrow's task) ... I have a pretty good idea of how it turned out; however, I want to try it to make sure.

No rush. Its beer. It’ll keep.

Yes please

Will do; it's a hard sell (2hr drive each way).

@PianoMan I got a delivery notice but I’m gone until Wednesday. I’ll let you know when I get to it

 

[MapleGroveAleworks]

@CTownBrewer this pale ale is amazing thanks! First beer I've tapped into of my package. Does it get better than this? I can't imagine.

Can’t go wrong with Alvarado Street! I had that & an older IPA from them, so I gave you the fresher of the two. I really enjoyed it also! Love it when breweries are able to work in a touch of malt flavor in their haze.

I hope they release CNJ again ... soon. It's $$$ to brew because of all the hop additions.

Anyone here looking for some hops? Most of these are sealed.. the calypso is the only one opened.

Always, but probably not for a month or two ...

 

[JamesonFan]

I received my package from @EcuPirate07 this weekend, but haven't had a chance to post it until today.

Thank you so much, my man. I can't wait to tear into that Burial and Fonta Flora goodness. Positive feedback left.

@TBC, your package will be going out tomorrow or Thursday. I apologize for the delay. I've been in the middle of a renovation at the house, and I haven't been able to pack the box up. But it's happening tonight and will be out the door in a day or two. Again, I apologize for the delay. But for every day I delay, another beer or two gets put in there to make up for it.

@Thorrak - you have mail

They are from very late 2017- mid 2018 I will send them to anyone willing to cover shipping. Long story, but most of my stuff is still stored in Ny and will be until it’s feasible to drive home.. really just don’t want to see them go to waste

No rush. I’m in no danger of running out of beer.

I will let others jump in but Columbus Hallerttau and Galaxy would all find nice homes in my cellar. So would many of the others but I dont wanna be greedy

I’ll take them. Let me know shipping cost to 17345. @fourfarthing send me your address and I will forward the Columbus, Galaxy and Halleratau to you. I already have some of them in the freezer.

 

[fourfarthing]

Done. @baldm79 ping me yours so you can get some NY beers as a thank you.
