Fellowship of the Drink XXVI: Old Enough to Fight, Old Enough to Vote

[TheDudeLebowski]

Schramms ruined me from anything else. There are some highly rated NH meads those to the north of me. A good meadery tap room not too far also. I have a bag of wild blueberries I keep on meaning to ferment

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

As I sit here crackin on how to improve my next offer. Thinking it has to be the mead..right?

I love a good mead, just went simple this round and chose the guy that chose me, I didn’t even look at the offers. Next time I’ll pay more attention. Nice round lbussy

 

[Knightshade]

Thanks all, looking forward to everybody unwrapping and sharing their early December gift packages.

This. Schramms is why I started liking mead, and is why I have been ruined from meaderies around me. The Bruery has them periodically as a “guest brewer” - I need to stock back up.

I’ve had 5 gallons on mead sitting In my basement for about 7 years that I’ve yet to bottle. I should probably smarten up and do it.

I don't know why but anything shipped to my state is usually restricted. Especially the Midwest. However they somehow are my connection. Plus a lot of free shipping. Their Honeyberry just leap frogged all others I've had. Now I have Honeyberries growing in my woods. Hopeful for fruit this year.

Same. I just don’t like the finish of mine. It has a bit too much bite (tartaric acid) on the back end. Have been slowly trying to mellow it out over the years.

mine is due to laziness. Wine bottles and all. I’m not actively brewing, just drinking lately, so it makes it even harder.

Power is back on.... are we drinking Irish whiskey in this FotD?

Not mead, but I found some 2014 RIS in 750's in my basement while cleaning it out. Yum!

I could have taken a picture like that - the cabinets are all empty because the painter is coming today. What a mess! I notice that's not all Irish Whiskey though, sir. I had s Lot B and drank it. It was a gateway drug for me (as @Thorrak will attest.) I have to slim my collection down to the essentials so we can move.

 

[gromitdj]

Great Job @LBussy , I look forward to ruining the next one.

 

[Nagorg]

Yes... ^^What he said @LBussy ! Thanks for accepting my picklist too right before the picking started... Cant wait to try these beers!

 

[HopsNTails]

Whelp, I missed this entirely.

 

[HopsNTails]

@CrookedLaker send me your addy and I’ll get something shipped in the next two months probably.
@pers new guys usually get picked low. Don’t feel bad. I won’t when I’m drinking that liquid sunshine!

Pretty sure I was picked last my first two rounds. I'm also suspicious that the 3D printed labeling jig and not the beer is what got me picked sooner this time.

 

[Knightshade]

Package is out!

 

[LBussy]

Dayum!

Forgive the Hijack but can you tell me where you bought the WL Wellers? One of my favorite bourbons but very hard to find anymore, last bottle I found was in Arkansas this summer but only could buy one.

Michigan. If you are out of the South East corner things last slightly longer on the shelf.

Mine was supposed to deliver yesterday but thinking it didn't because it's an office not open on Saturday?

 

[LBussy]

Hoping to get shipped today. I need more bubble-wrap.

 

[Knightshade]

Got notification mine was delivered today, hope it passes muster.

 

[LBussy]

I stiiiiiill need more bubble wrap. Going to the man-store today. I have had contractors in the house since we're getting ready to sell and things are ... discombobulated.

Package arrived yesterday. But, I was out so I'll get it opened here shortly. Thank you very much!

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

Dropped mine off today, should arrive friday.

 

[gromitdj]

Look at this haul. This guy can fill a box!

Thanks again @orionol73!

 

[HopsNTails]

@pers first Fotd drop is a beauty! Thanks!!

 

[LBussy]

[Bago-0]
