Everyone of those has been shipped at least a dozen times

It's the tether coin of the beer industry

Looks like they deleted negative comments because it’s all support now
Strange world when breweries call out a person by name appealing for a trade embargo.

Adam is fine with people trading his beer. He’s 100% against people selling it for money and as part of joining Oakworks you agree to not do so under forfeiture of your membership.

Lots of breweries do the same. I'm on board with it. I just wish trading wasn't such a ******* hassle these days. Floodland beer traders always seem to want $300 worth of beer for a bottle and seem to focus entirely on secondary

I get that and I don’t have any problem with operating that way, just a bit odd to take the extra steps against the person who got kicked out.

Maybe the thought is that public outing will prevent other people from doing the same thing.

I wouldn’t even think of trading away my Floodland stuff. They’re just too damn good compared to whatever I’d get back.

ISO Floodland. Never heard of them but I believe you.

Former owner/brewer at Holy Mountain started up his own super small brewery focused on mixed fermentation last year. Mostly membership only (Oakworks) but there are a couple online public sales every year. No proxies allowed on the public sales and only Oakworks members can proxy for other Oakworks members.

This thought popped into my head the other day. I wonder what one beer is/was the most sent via mail in trades.

I'm sure for a while there is was Pliny the Elder but then maybe it became Heady Topper?

I'll also accept Smokey and the Bandit gifs as a response.

I’d bet Zombie Dust is high on the list as well.

I’ve sent away a couple of things in BIFs - ac24 got my Marsanne from the last public box - where someone else has been generous enough to share with me.

I mean, I think we can put all the hyped IPAs of yore into that bucket. Julius cans, Nelson bombers - ****, maybe even Hopslam.

KBS also got traded quite a bit back in the day. As did BCBS.

I'd be down to return to those simpler times. Especially because I could still get Olfabrikken Porter.

I still struggle to find bcbs.

I beer very, very badly.

Way back when, I used to have folks toss in KBS as extras.

Then, It turned into a hot commodity, and traded really high.

Now, it just sits locally.

Circle of life.

KBS here in Minnesota went from...

Limited but you could get it if you went to a store that week to

You gotta run to a more than one store to get more than one four pack to

100 people in line at stores at 8am to get 1-4 bottles to

...I can get CBS all over the place.

I haven't seen this, and I've heard good things, but I'd wager that comparing beers by price point isn't nearly as quantitative and comparing other craft products.

I mean, it has to come down to macro vs craft in the end, right?

I watched this tonight and I noticed with all the beers it was really easy to guess the craft beer just from the packaging (shape of the bottle... heck the craft IPA was a 16oz can)

Or am I just a nerd?

Sounds like Odd Breed. I worry about that kind of brewery existing here, especially since I know the people running it. BA Mixed Fermentation stuff isn't exactly mainstream and it's in kind of a ghetto area they are trying to prop up.

I support them as much as I can, but that **** adds up quick...

No I'm with you too haha - that was part of the fun of watching the video.

I couldn't make out the BA beers, however - but I'm pretty sure the fruit sour had to be a Barrelworks beer.

I think one of the BA ones was Innis & Gunn

Wow, that's a name i haven't heard of in a while - and it explains the wacky bottle shape.

 

[JCastle1]

Also recognized Negra Modelo, Shock Top and Allagash White. And I guess the dunkel was Ayinger, can't think of another beer in that bottle shape that is widely exported (except Schlenkerla but the taste description didn't match).

 

[arren]

I have to imagine that canned IPA was something from Other Half or something similar, especially at that insane ~$5 price tag per can. Initially thought Heady, but I don't know if they'd be able to get an unprinted can of one of those specifically for the video.

I am opening it this Saturday at share, really excited to try it as I have heard nothing but good things. Thanks again!

Leave. Quickly.

First thing that went through my head was whether or not it was soured intentionally.

At least they call it sour. Local brewery had a super contaminated porter and when I returned it they told me "no, that's what the traditional style is supposed to taste like".

 

[Gonzoillini1]

I haven't made a beer purchase that has put this kind of smile on my face in quite a long time.

x2 cases of Dovetail Helles Lager in 16oz - 4 packs for $121 out the door tonight. Might be back next week if they run the same deal (basically buy x11 4-packs and get the 12th 4 pack free) on the Vienna Lager they are canning.

The real question is how long these 48 cans will last in the house with the holidays coming up (down to 47 as we speak...)

Chocolate Lambic, IMO.
