Secret Santa Sour Swap

[Coff]

With that list of bottled beers in your signature I would like to volunteer to be that not SoCal person....I suppose I would take some RR as well....

Ha, yea lot of funky stuff in bottles. Some awesome, some meh, its how it goes. Ive been known to jam a homebrew into my trades.

I'm only finding Temptation in Philly any more...no more Supplication makes me a Mr. Sad Face

Yea it seems to be in waves you never see all of them on shelves at once. The Foodery had Temptation for $22 a bottle so I passed.

We have probably passed eachother in there on multiple occasions lol
Food and Friends on Spruce had it 19.97. The Foodery has a good selection but very expensive. My go-to shop is Monde Market, but they only have Damnation for now.

There's not much local in Philly for sours. It's going to have to be regional, including New York and New England. So hopefully this is more of an east coast/west coast swap.

I just picked up a bottle consecration, and I've got supplication (I think) before.

Tired Hands does a few, but it would be growler only. It is entirely plausible to ship a 64 oz growler and have it arrive well enough, fit for consumption. They use the flip top styles, not screw caps, so it handles the trip very well with a little help from clever tape wrapping.
I've bought Consecration, Supplication, Temptation and Sanctification before. Monk's Café has them, but they will not allow you to take off premises.

It seems like a growler would arrive flat. Never kept one around very long to test it.

The beer shoppe in Ardmore (near tired hands) has damnation and another RR normally.

I got two howlers (32 oz growlers) in the last swap-o-rama and they did great. The caps had lots of tape wrapped around them to keep them sealed.

Its very possible, I am in there 3-4 times a week for about 6-7 years now. I get sandwiches for lunch from there often, and usually check to see what they have.

I live near Bottle Bar East, decent selection, I like that you can reserve beers on Facebook.

I make trips to Beer Heaven on Del Ave every few weeks. Good prices, awesome selection and it seems people still dont know about it. If you go, ask if she has Cantillon, if they do its behind the counter. Ive scored twice this way in 2013, but failed probably 15-20 times, lol.

The Commons is probably my favorite brewery in Portland, they consistently make great beers. Cascade beers all have this similar taste/aroma that bothers me now, used to love them but now I can't get past it. It reminds me of this stuff... I think it has something to do with their house lacto strain.

I agree the Cascade stuff is a little off compared to the clean sourness of the Commons stuff. I don't think the Commons is as acidic which makes it much more drinkable to me. I could have drank Commons beer all night but I can't say the same for the Cascade stuff.

Lacto can be a dirty little bitch sometimes.

 

[terrapinj]

in - great idea!

Growlers absolutely ship fine. Its usually best if you can get the 32 ounce flip top. If they are screw top the black plastic ones are better as oxygen barriers, but just tape the lid really well, I have drank many a shipped growler and they are always tasty.

If you don't have this filled up by Sunday I'll probably join, I can fulfill the requirements without buying a single beer, and it would just be cost to ship, which is low with a light box, so I'll keep my eyes on this thread...

Ok I'm in!

Yeah!

 

[two_hearted]

Alright guys, we've got 12 so far. I'll cut it off tomorrow afternoon and work on getting everyone their recipient. Join up if you still want!

 

[two_hearted]

Last call to join up!

 

[ardyexfor]

In!

Are we considering 100% Brett beers in this swap? There really isn't a BJCP category for these although they tend to score best in 16E. If its up for vote, then I vote yes, especially since I just got an extra limited release 100% Brett beer from The Commons that I can ship. If not, then I'll stick to strictly Category 17 stuff.

If it's up for a vote, I vote yes. If I received that I wouldn't complain.

There aren't nearly enough sour producing breweries in southern california.

I say yes. It definitely qualifies as a sour, and meets the original rules here, right? Plus I already bought a good one to ship.

I would be happy to receive an 100% Brett beer, I vote yes.

 

[mhurst111]

I vote 100% Brett beers should be included.

From the original post from this thread :
-Sour beer only. These beers should have souring yeasts/bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Brettanomyces, acetobacter or Pediococcus. Take a look and understand the differences between category 17 and categories 16 & 18.

 

[ardyexfor]

Yeah, well then what about Brett secondaries beers?

That's why I asked. Category 17 is for Sours, all of which (at least from my understanding) have bacteria not just Brett. Category 16E is where most people generally enter Brett'd beers and there isnt really a category for 100% Brett beers (American Wild Ales) yet. I interpreted two_hearted's original post to mean that he wanted a true sour trade but it seems like everyone is on board for Brett beers so thats a plus.

 

[Irrenarzt]

The OP stated this in the OP:

These beers should have souring yeasts/bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Brettanomyces, acetobacter or Pediococcus.

I would interpret this to mean a brett beer would be acceptable. I hope nobody sends me an acetobacter beer though.

 

[terrapinj]

i'm down for 100% Brett beers - personally not so interested beers secondaried with Brett without souring bacteria

 

[two_hearted]

Hey guys, sorry I'm now on vacation and was enjoying the day in the desert sun! Yes, 100% Brett beers are fine in this swap!

 

[Indytruks138]

Excited for this

 

[ardyexfor]

Has anyone received their info yet?

Edit: NM I saw where he extended until tomorrow but it showed as being posted yesterday...
