I'm currently in Ohio looking for some RR stuff, Pliny and Supplication mainly. We've got Hoppin' Frog B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher and Thirsty Dog Siberian Night as well as some Jackie-O's, Founder, Bells, and possibly Three Floyd's but they don't send too much out here. Let me know if you're interested at all.
 
Really? How much is a 6 pack of Pliny? 1 bomber of Dreadnaught is $12.

I dont want anyone to feel cheated or like they got the short end of the stick. A six pack is $33 +Tax & CRV.
If your more willing i could do three bottles for JUST the Zombie dust. I really only have a 6 pack i can trade until next week. That's when we get another shipment.

Price of pliny went up to $5.50 a bottle at my local bottle store. More people want it with the same amount coming in. They normally sell out the day they get it, but always put a case aside for my Brother in law and I. We have a good repore and trade beers often. It could also be the fact that i got them a trade for a VERY rare bottle of Russian Rivers Toranado20.
 
Hey man, Im in PA and making a Pliny clone. Having never had one makes things difficult. Unfortunately, I have no rare brews to trade. But, I would give a left testicle for 3 bottles of Pliny. Please let me know what it would take for you to sell me three for "collection." I'm in Pittsburgh and can send Iron City...:)

Wow, I didn't know it was so much.

That's fine then. I'm happy with a fair deal on both sides. I just didn't realize how expensive the Pliny was. 2 bombers of Dreadnaught and a 6 pack of Zombie Dust it is. I really just wanted to make sure it was a fair shake. PM me with shipping details.

Cheers.

+1 about just paying for it. I live really close to Bells and can get anything from them but you didn't mention them.

Ill have to hold off for a week or two. One of my friends just came back from Chicago and brought a 6pack of Zombie dust with them. Ill see if its a beer worth drinking that much of. (i already have another 6pac coming my way as well, for a total of 12.)

I wish i could. I honestly cant tell you how may emails i get about paypal'ing me some cash for the beer and shipping. Vinny and his wive have told me not to sell his beer but. I respect him too much as a brewer to go against his words. I asked about trading, that fine. It turns out that some of the Brew pub workers trade even the rare beers.

Ill let you know in two weeks. =)

Im going to be busy with a few side jobs, judging at a few beer events and wont have much "Me" time.
 
Would you be interested in some Jester King Boxer's Revenge Barrel Aged Wild Ale for a bottle of Supplication? I also have a 1 and a half year aged (proper temp aging btw) of the original Black Metal Imperial Stout (retired version).

I have had both the Boxer's and BMIS. I got the BMIS back when it first came out because the bottle caught my eye. I dig the "metal" look and it was a great beer. Ill check into the Boxer's again to see if my brother in law is intrested. I personally am looking for stuff i have never tried before that strike an interest.

I can get my hands on all of the JK stuff... except the JK/Mikkeller Beer Geek Rodeo... it's all sold out. I talked to the head brewer and he said there's another round of Das Wunderkind coming out if that's at all of interest. I also have a bottle of properly aged Saint Arnolds DR 5 that has aged beautifully. Along with some DR 1 and 2... but those didn't age too gracefully. I also have a bottle of Gavroche Biere de Garde... which is quite honestly one of the best things I've ever consumed.
 
Jester King is the only thing I miss about Austin, TX. I live five miles from firestone, and if you'd like to trade some Jester King for Firestone, PM me, I just setup and account on Stamps.com using the blabbermouth Glenn Becks code, and have $50 worth of free shipping. I want the hell out of their Mikkeller collaborations, I moved from Austin within weeks of them doing their first. I have yet to have the Thrash Metal Saison, also.
 
DFH - Positive Contact is now on my WANT list... Takes president over Heady.
It is being packaged and sent out as i type...
 
I'm in Chicago this weekend and I'll look for positive contact and zombie dust. Please let me know if you have these already.

Have Zombie dust. Im talking with DFH about Positive Contact. Depending on how many he sends out to CA. I may already be getting some. I get very lucky with distributors in CA.

I just got in a shipment from - The Brewery, Jester King & Jolly Pumpkin. There is a Distributor out of SF that goes around the country and picks up one off cases from the breweries and sells them to bottle shops around the Bay. I know the owners of 4 bottle shops and can normally get first shot. This was my last Score...

By the way, I was in Napa yesterday and stopped by Whole Foods. Found out about the 20% ALL SINGLE bottle beer and Picked up 7 Plinys for $3.50 each!!! 2 Ruinations for $5. (not each but $5 for two) and a few other IPA's that me and my old lady like. Also found it interesting that they are starting to carry Homebrew supplies. Yeast, Grain and All grain kits... Kinda Random.

You know California has Jester King right? I find it at Whole Foods in Napa and Oakland. It really depends on who is running there beer line. If some BMC drinker is running the beer they wont get the rare ones but if you get lucky and find a good Whole Foods with a good Specility Beers guy then you can get just about any beer in the states. Last time i went they had:

Wytchmaker
Le Petit Prince
Noble King
Black Metal
 
Be came in today. Thanks so much!

I got mine in on Sat. THANKS! The 120 was not what i had expected. I think i want to age the other one and see what time does. Its more like a sweet wine or meed than a "SUPER hoppy" beer. Still, I get to cross that one off my Beer Bucket list.

BTW - did the Ice pack keep everything cool? I didnt think it would still be cold, but cool is what i was aiming at.
 
Everything showed up in great condition. I had one tonight, it was perfect.

As for the 120, I'm glad you had one, now hide the other for a few years. I enjoy them aged. If you want or need more, let me know. I have a bunch. Plus I have some 08 WWS if you're looking for other interesting DFH.

Im good for now on the other stuff. I can get all DFH but the 120. I have a 2002 WWS in my wine/beer cellar at a CONSTANT 54*. I may pick up another one or two 120's in the near future.
 
GOT IT! My neighbor had it for me. I guess it showed up when i was at work and they pulled it inside for me. (Im super happy they did since its bin almost 100* outside the last few days.)

I also found a bottle shop that continuously stocks:

Cantillon
Jester King
Mikkeller beer
The Bruery
Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales
&
ALL the lips of Faith series!!!!
13 Taps that change daily!!!
 
Awesome! My brother-in-law was driving by my place Thursday and saw I had a package and did the right thing and took it to his place. Had one of the Pliny's last night. Good God was is good. Better than the last 2 you sent. If these next 2 taste anything like last night's then Dreadnaught has some competition for my favorite double ipa
