[3 Dawg Night]

Received a nice haul from West Massachusetts! Lots of IPA's and lagers, and an Imperial Milk Stout, which I can't wait to try!

Now somebody get @khannon some beer!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

@khannon This is one smoooooth IPA, and at 5.6% ABV, it's almost a "session IPA." I'm digging it!

Honest Weight is not super well known, but they are doing some great things.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

I don't even have words for how delicious this imperial milk stout is. Somebody step up and get @khannon some beer!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

A wet night, but this delicious Festbier from @khannon deserves to be drunk outside. All I need now is some schnitzel!

Somebody send him some beer!

Loophole brewing is the home to one if my favorite brewers.. John Geraci, He was the longtime head brewer of the best brewpub in walking distance(any condition) to my home.. An all around great guy who brews some consistently great beers. He even let me come and help him out a few times..Some good times for sure.

Hope you are enjoying the beers...

I've been looking to start into the trading here, planning to go stock up a bit this weekend... @khannon got any preferred styles or dislikes?

 

[khannon]

I'm pretty easy, for the most part keep the fruit and the peanut butter out of it and I'll drink just about any style of good beer, and I've heard you have some decent ones out there in CA (though maybe the climate dictates avoiding smoked beers).

 

[rsquared]

So non-fruited sours are good? Definitely plenty to choose from either way (even if every other beer is a hazy, I'm sure you've got plenty of that). For the smoked beer experience, I just drink on the back porch and take in the atmosphere.

non-fruited sours are great, there are even fruited beers that are good, I just like the main ingredient in beer to be beer.

Alright, I think I have a good selection picked out. Should have it packed up and ready to ship by the weekend. @khannon, PM me your address

 

[rsquared]

You should have beer today @khannon!

 

[khannon]

@rsquared Cannot wait for beer o'clock tonight.
Thanks for the selection

 

[rsquared]

Glad it all made it in one piece!

 

[khannon]

It did, though UPS originally said yesterday before 9.. My wife thought it was funny watching me get up every time I heard a noise to go check the porch

 

[khannon]

Two very enjoyable beers. Lets keep the train rolling and get @rsquared some beer.. Who's next?

 

[khannon]

Nothing but pure enjoyment.. let's get the next person to send rsquared some beer.. any volunteers? It's a great way to get some beer from some places you might never go.

Anddddddddd it's the front door entrance into FOTD trades

 

[Ultryx]

I'm interested in doing a swap again but would like to do that with someone a little farther away. I think @rsquared is in Sacramento which is in my neck of the woods.

You haven't looked into the FOTD threads? They are in this subforum. Most of the members are scattered well enough away.

 

[TBC]

@rsquared inquiring minds are curious what your style likes and dislikes are.

I have looked into those before. I'm going to attempt to get in on the next one. I think the sign ups haven't started yet?

No outright dislikes, but I am more into most of the "classic" styles (e.g. British, Belgian, German) than their more modern (often hoppier) counterparts.

Just discovered this thread. I am in SE PA. I know Victory has pretty wide distribution across the country. As probably does Troegs and Wyerbacher and others here. I guess the idea is to find local brewpubs with cans, or smaller breweries that don’t ship far. Any resource for doing that?

I know this is not the intent of this thread, but I’ve been reading about Sexual Chocolate from Foothills Brewing which is a limited annual release every year and its not available anywhere near here. I would love to make a future trade to get to try that beer and I’m willing to offer whatever it takes from here to get it. If thats asking alot, I understand. Anybody in NC?

Even on the somewhat larger breweries, it helps to check their website. They'll usually have a beer locator or distributor list. For instance, I've seen the occasional Victory beer here in CA, but I've only heard of the other two breweries, not seen their product. When I look at the Troegs website I see their distribution is pretty much focused East of there. Nothing west of Ohio. That's exactly the type of brewery I think is perfect for this kind of trade (well known, but unable to get for 2/3 of the country).

As for finding local brewpubs that have good beer, that's just something you have to know your local scene for.

I live about 10 miles from Victory’s giant new brewery, which is in Parkesburg, PA. They do have limited releases like the Java Cask which was $30 for a 4 pack. They are doing a bunch of wild and sour beers, maybe not all those get widely distributed.

Troegs is a totally solid brewery in Harrisburg, PA. I always say “I never had a bad beer from Troegs.” Everything they make.

I don’t buy alot of Wyerbacher. They have 2 releases I do look for every year - Blithering Idiot, which is their barleywine, and Insanity, which is their barley wine aged in bourbon barrels.
