Sour Swap #2

[blizzard]

Was yours the "face melter" I read about in the previous swap?

Yeah, that was me. I had one last night and I had forgotten how sour it is. It is intense.

I am still building a box for my recipient, will probably have it out by next Wednesday.

I specifically didn't mention so as not to let on what's specifically going into my box! Yes prairie ale is one, and the other prairie is Elizabeth with a number 5 in there somewhere.

You should send a 3L Eliza5beth. I was lucky enough to find one in OK over Thanksgiving weekend. I will be opening it for my birthday in May.

FYI, I have seen you mention keg only a few times, try to find places that will do growler fills. I know FL is stupid on growler laws, but I believe they allow 32 ounce fills. I would try to start looking to do that. I know Funky Buddha has some of the best beer being made in FL and they definitely do growler fills, I have drank some. If you are wanting to ship growlers just do a few wraps of black electrical tape around the cap and pack it well and it should make it just fine.

Cool. I'll ask about growlers, but I think for me anyway, that it's not going to be helpful. The reason is, that I think the growler thing is only allowed at the brewery tasting room, not bars like this one. I'll ask them next time I go though!
Funky Buddha is a long drive for me, about 4-5 hours I think, one way. I think they sell kegs, but not sure. I know that they distribute kegs, but no bottles. I read on their website that they are going to be beginning bottling/canning sometime soon. I've not had any of their stuff before.
Been trying to seek out where I can buy kegs of some of the in state micros, and also the founders stuff. I'm going to ask the guy at the bar with the Jester King who does their ordering. He knows about all this stuff. Be really cool to get a local small brewery 1/6 bbl, and counter pressure bottle it!! Got to find keg source first.

Oh and , impressive 3L bottle!

Any awesome beer stores near the Hilton in Orlando? Going to be there for work wed-fri

Although I live about an hour north, I rarely find time to get down there.

Total wine has two shops I think. They have a very good selection usually. Also, whole foods has a store in doctor Phillips (a suburb of Orlando) area near expressway, and has a very good selection as well.

I think there are some cool beer bars downtown as well, but I don't get there often. There are some trendy places on church street I know as well. I think on this forum, there is a Florida/southeast thread or two about beer places in the city. If you hear about any great small bottle shops pass it along. My brother lives in Sanford area of Orlando, and says the local ABC liquor store has great selection. I don't know how close any of those are to the Hilton though.

There is also the "world of beer" chain of bars that sell package at some locations, usually has a huge selection

Edit - also heard about this place called redlight redlight beer parlour, which is in winter park, a suburb (upscale) of Orlando. Have never been but it was supposedly in draft magazine for big selection of draft and bottled beer. Dunno if they sell package or not.

Hey Guys, I have a new guy who wants to join the swap. I'm happy to do a second recipient myself, but I thought I would put it out there and draw a name out of hat for who gets it. Let me know if you're into it.

 

[TrickyDick]

I had originally said I'd be down for that, but it seems it might depend upon where the new person lives before I would be able to say yes or no.

Lucky for you guys, I will be in Denver/Ft Collins this month. Hello Funkwerks, Crooked Stave and New Belgium! There's also some really tasty sours coming out of Rivertown here in Cincy!

Hey, don't forget to hit up Odell, which is right by New Belgium, Funkwerks, and Fort Collins Brewing. Odell is just about to release Fifty-Niner, which is a brett golden ale. Hopefully you get some.

Heard that the NB Snapshot has lacto in it. havent tried yet.


By the way, I had previously mentioned that I'm not sure about the availability of the CCB Sour coming out in April. I would like to include it in my box if possible. I don't want to break the rules of course (except the one about shipping alcohol). And of course only one person is going to be receiving my box. Wondering if they'd prefer to wait a week or two to ship, to try and include this beer, or if they would want it sooner, but with some beers they can easily get in their home instead.

I personally would probably choose to wait. That beer sounds tasty

I would certainly wait

[blizzard]

I'd be willing to wait too.

 

[Brewbien]

I may be in the minority here but I say save it for the next swap. The sooner we finish this one the sooner we can do the next one

 

[geoffey]

If it's me I'd be more excited to get something new and which I can't get otherwise. I'd be fine waiting, but I don't think you should push it too far. Rules state to ship by the end of month.
