Ahhh. Yeah they raffled two of them. You must have caught him at the right time.

He said it was their last one available I am eternally grateful for what he did. I almost passed out from excitement.

I have never been able to make it in there before they close, I am so glad I made it in. Besides the guy being awesome and helpful and patient. The selection was fantastic for the size of the place too, nothing cramped or disorganized.

Got a small box of some Cali beers.

 

[MikeG1]

"Meh" De Garde box arrived at work yesterday.

 

[trickytunadicky]

Nope, I walked into Lager Mill near closing while my GF and friend looked at the gift shop in Zehnders. Got to talking to the dude that runs it after I found some 3F Gueuze and Hiver on the shelf and told him I have been dying to find one now that it is here, he then asked "Got $25?" to which I replied "**** yeah I do." He handed it to me and said Merry Xmas. He was helping another bottle shop colleague. Made my ******* year! This has been my top want forever and he kindly hooked me up without jumping through hoops.

Nicest guy. Let us take wedding photos inside the museum. We met him at 4elf one year. Love that place.

Box of assorted Hailstorm with a few cans of Pipeworks from a Survivor League on a FB Group from Brandon (owner of Hailstorm). Will be sharing the Barrel Aged Vlad's with imperialking this evening.

Awesome box of beer from gregkoko. Can't wait for these Carton beers to chill, it's been forever since I've had some of their stuff. And that Oude Tart w Cherries is a perma want... and who the hell would turn down an Arthur, Convival Suarez, or Brother Soigne?

itt: Michigan beer miracles happen for thunderbirdesq

meanwhile in PA, bottleshop owners secretly gather to agree upon what the next level of obnoxious price per oz they can get away with while still making the customer feel lucky for having been selected as the chosen ones to be granted the distinct privilege to buy 8 month old hopslam

I was told recently by a very good trade partner in PA how difficult it is to buy decent beer/booze. It is a shame, tons of amazing beers being made there though.

 

[lazerviking]

hiw difficult it is to buy decent beer/booze

It isn't. It's just expensive. Very expensive.

 

[thunderbirdesq]

It isn't. It's just expensive. Very expensive.

Well that sounds ****** too.

 

[agrippin]

Love me some B-bomb.

Sometimes the last trade of the year just falls into your lap.

Al Bundy is appalled at this haul. My buddy made a trip to HF today. So angry they were out of glasses!

The shop I work at just got Fou. We are selling it for $40 and only to select regulars we decided to tell. And yet in PA that seems like honestly a good deal

 

[BadJustin]

Chouffe with the stellar GPIUFMB, the man is an honorable man. BCBS/ Abraxas schwag is from the local joint.

[PHBoiler]

This was easily the largest sized box that has ever hit my porch. Davepool packed this thing above and beyond anything reasonable. These are the safest hops that will ever be delivered. Cans for me and bombers to share. What a time to be alive. Christmas came early for me this year. Snuck in a few exciting new ticks and he really snuck in those bourbon tasters. Cheers to a great 2015! Thank you sir!

FedEx doesn't mess around in your neighborhood around Christmas, huh? Can't believe how early it was delivered.

The growler is Half Acre's Gin BA Pony Pilsner. Thought you would enjoy something a little different than an IPA from them. I tried to fill in some Transient gaps from the box beersis81 sent you. So you should have just about every bottle from the last release (a BA Henry would've been in there too if it didn't turn infected ). And the White Lodge and glass is from TB's own levifunk (Funk Factory Geuzeria).
Hope you enjoy everything Adam!
