Hops for days.....

 

[JCastle1]

Lost Nation Mosaic IPA I'll kick you square in the taint because as much as I enjoy most of their beers that one sucks!)

So that's why you sent me a bunch of those! I actually really enjoyed them haha.

Lol and I liked it too. Not earth shattering but not swill at all by any means. Would bang again.

I was looking for a 2nd opinion...or something.

Finally! Couple weird things about this one... the caps are back to silver from the red caps of the 2012, but the labels are a weird pale lavender instead of the usual silver. Also, I expected this to be labeled 2014 (since they skipped a release year), but it says brewed in 2013, and the caps are labeled April 2015... so quite a bit longer between brewing and bottling than normal. I'll most likely open one up in a month or two and see how I think it might age.

Holy smokes...I get a random PM from GRDave a few days ago saying he was basically running a silent LIF for whoever gave him his 10,000th like. He then even asked me what I haven't had from Michigan. Today I get a box full of new ticks especially a nice variety from Short's (which I haven't had) and my first ever bottle of mead. I'd say he made The Statement! (PUN INTENDED!) Cheers to you good sir!

Backstory: A month or so back Sobchak sent me a very generous NM package and the local delivery guys here proceedes to crush the hell out of it, less than half the bottles/cans survived. Super annoying but c'est la guerre of beer trading, I guess.

Fast forward to today when Sobchak 's replacement package lands:


You da man Nate! Weekend: saved.

[agrippin]

I love morning beer mail.

 

[masterovkhaos]

Thanks amk, this made my day.

 

[CSO]

It's always great when you can start off a weekend like this.

 

[mjohnson171]

Ban?

Yep. Girardin has banned online stores from shipping their product to the US, based on some exclusivity agreement with the US importers. It's further detailed in the Lambic thread.

Finally get to try atrial. Also been keen on ticking repose and Aurelian doesn't sound bad either. Thank for the trade Compton25!

While drinking my Pliny today (see today's DDT) I realized I completely forgot to post a pic of an extremely generous haul from jedwards from a few weeks back:

Bringing dat Bay Area heat, thanks man! You are a scholar and a gentleman, I'll send all vintage De Dolle I find to you.

Not srs. I'm a-keepin all the De Dolle.

Not srs again. Come to Sweden bro and we'll drink my stash together.

Yesterday was a good day for boxes.

First up this awesome box of Colorado goodies dropped from Ispeakforthetrees , as always another killer box. All of the Casey - yummy. Love the versions of Nightmare on Brett i have had, can't wait for this one. You are awesome Riley, thanks

Then a box from jacksback , really excited to try the Enlightenment beers. Thought I was going to miss out on Farm to Fac e this year, thanks so much mate.

And then this one as well. I have been hassling TNGabe to try a couple of his homebrews, I got my wish and I am so happy to get a chance to dive into all of these, they all sound awesome. Thanks Gabe, i really appreciate it.

EDIT: I forget the awesome JK glass.

Q2/3 deGarde keepers haul.

 

[amk1]

Huge thank you to KevinC for these 2 bottles and getting them sent on expedited shipping before the weekend. Can't wait to open these tomorrow!

Q2/3 deGarde keepers haul.

Cherry Raz Gose was part of the membership?

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

One bottle haul. Glad they didn't mess up this batch.

 

[csano]

Such an incredible box of HF goodness. And that Tree House Green?! Hnngh. Thanks, lukemroy!

 

[gregkoko]

Nah my trustee sent me a few extras

 

[SSTroller]

In our continuing effort to send each other awesome boxes of "local" beer and recently, coffee beans, quirk6 drops this on me. He told me he was heading to Boston and going to "send me some beer", so I expected like a 6 shipper or something. I couldn't have been more wrong...

Everything except the Framinghammers are new ticks and sound amazing and the hoppy stuff is already consumed.
I can't thank you enough Adam! Time to start planning serious payback.

So back in April I posted about wanting to work something out for Sour in the Rye with Peaches if anyone wasn't maxing out, because I love peach beers (so #newmoney of me, I know) and have never had a chance to try a SITR variant. I had long forgotten about that post when out of the blue daniel messages to ask me if I ever got that taken care of. Took me a while to figure out WTF he was talking about. Next thing I know this box is sitting on my porch. And he tells me he doesn't need anything in return. yeahok.gif All are new ticks, can't wait to try them all. Thanks Daniel!
