Bastrop Specs will often have stuff sitting on the shelf that would normally sell out in 25 minutes in Houston.

I know Brad already asked a little while back, but has anyone heard anything about the Noir or BCBS Variants? I'm really surprised with how long it is taking to get these beers released.

Also, I hadn't posted in a while and I wanted to say hi.

this was my weekend!

Alex where's my glass?


SRS though. I will paypal you for the glass.

Edit: I now see that La Vie en Rose is like ~200 bottles I was going to ask for one.

********.



Also if anyone is interested, I should soon have in my hands a Hommage batch 2 for swap locally.

 

[boogercrack]

Didn't mattchow insist that it would make sense for him to get you one?

Came away with a pretty good haul from JK today. The la vie en rose was meh but I was pleasantly surprised by the ambree. I asked Jeff how the crooked stave colab was going and he said they are looking at about another 9 months in the barrel.

Oh I don't even remember. Studying criminal code of procedure has fried my brain dude.

 

[BusinessSloth]

Color me VERY interested.

Am interested in SARA West Ashley (or other SARA sours), to a lesser degree Scotch that's been aged and/or finished in Sherry Casks (particularly Glenfarclas 12, Aberlour 12 Nonchillfiltered, Glendronach 12), RR Beat batch 6 or any other batch for that matter. I also enjoyed the hell out of some 2011 3F gueuze the other night and wouldn't mind getting more of the older stuff.

Always interested in well-regarded fruited sours/sours/BA barleywines otherwise. I've been hankering to try some De Garde sours. And am also interested in a bottle of the new cantillon gueuze with the belgian flag label....Also Glenmorangie Ealanta. Always willing to add whatever I can from my dwindling cellar to get a good deal rolling.

Anyways, I'll have the Hommage in hand on Monday.

Does anyone (Lutter Alex BusinessSloth ) know what the deal is with Lacto Guava Grove? Sounds pretty good, but I've heard that it might become a shelf turd soon and have infection issues?

Alex is the CC expert. I'm just a jabrone with family in SoFla.

I haven't heard of any infection issues. I asked my trustee and he said it was delicious.

Sorry if I sound stupid asking this but infected with what? It has lacto in the name.

I googled it and saw a blog post about it. Source and knowledge of poster unknown.

 

[CERNERDERNGHERTER]

Guava grove used to be unintentionally sour and was pretty inconsistent as far as I know. They only recently started doing Lacto Guava Grove and its delicious.
