Re: beer hauls
 

Exceptionally happy at how lucky I was today. A case of 2012 and then some 2011 of Saison-Brett. And a few others picked up over the last month.

Should go out for distribution this week!:tu

Re: beer hauls
 

I'll be looking for this one. :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Awesome I had the Saison Brett the other day, wish it were already aged.
I almost grabbed the Rye on Rye today. Have you tried it? Just noticed it in the pic

Re: beer hauls
 

mmm

Re: beer hauls
 

Man Julian, I LOVE THAT YETI! I know it is widely available, but I have not found any around in some time,
likely owing to my lack of options and lack of travel for beer buying. But I love that beer.

Re: beer hauls
 

I haven't had it yet since they don't distribute to NH. It is all over MA though. I did love their Fresh Hop...

Especially excited to try the Ruination 10th

Re: beer hauls
 

ps - all but the ruination came from letspour.com - my first order from them to try it out.
shipping was slow but the price was good.. about $100 for twelve 22 oz bottles... free shipping, $10 off for "spin the bottle" game, another 10 off for ordering twelve or more. its not like they have a phenomenal selection, but there was enough for me to give it a shot.

Re: beer hauls
 

This wasn't the Bourbon Barrel Sumatra Brown was it? :confused:

If so I wish I would have tried harder to get some.

Re: beer hauls
 

Thanks for the tip Julian, I was (was, haha, used em once) using halftimebeverage dot com and I went to my usual local
shop and everything was cheaper. I was bummed out, I paid more money AND had paid to ship. I was convinced I didn't
need to be ordering beer online anymore. But as usual, the way they get you is having something you want but can't find.

F'ing FACEBOOK crap. Guess I'll keep paying more, lol. Am not, will never be on the Facebook. :r

Re: beer hauls
 

Grab some 2012 and age it. If it is anything like the 2011 it will age very well. This was the absolute last 4 bottles of 2011 I could find and I looked very hard. The difference in age is striking and very enjoyable.

I have not had the rye on rye yet. I have had the love child though and that is an excellent beer. A little cellar time wouldn't hurt it either.

Re: beer hauls
 

Love this stuff but damn it makes me want to take a nap after a glass or 4.

Re: beer hauls
 

Lucky you Darrell! I was in BevMo on Sunday perusing the Lagunitas section and they didn't have a bomber of any of the line in their shop. They did have some six packs of three of their lines, but no bombers.

While attending a S.H.I.T. herf on Sat 07/14, a bottle of Lagunitas WTF was brought out to sample around. Having a long drive home, I wasn't able to sample, but was able to sniff the bottle. What a great full body roasted aroma came from inside. Here's the site:

http://www.lagunitas.com/home.html

So, I was disappointed when BevMo did not have the WTF or any of their other Seasonals available from Lagunitas. Will have to peruse some of the small stores around.

I did find a bomber at BevMo from Figueroa Mountain Brewery to take home and sample. Its called "Figueroa Mtn Pale Ale." Basically a session beer, 4.5% alc/vol and 29 IBU. Excellent pale ale. Kind of like quaffing a bitter ale thats been taken up a notch or two. The store clerk said I'd enjoy and I did. Gonna pickup a couple more bottles of this now. Figueroa Mountain Brewery is local up in Buellton, CA (the home of split pea Anderson soup). Here's the site:

Re: beer hauls
 

Still couldn't locate any Lagunitas bombers around town today, but I did stop back into BevMo and picked up the following:

Figueroa Mtn Pale Ale (yes, another from Figueroa Mtn Brewery)
Hurricane Deck Double IPA (Figueroa Mtn Brewery; IBU 82)
Dry Hopped Saint Rouge Red Ale (Rouge Brewery; IBU 44)

Re: beer hauls
 

Had that at the 2012 San Diego International Beer Festival.

By far the nastiest brew I have ever tasted. Many people were walking away gagging.

Re: beer hauls
 

I guess i had what you would call it "pleasure" of trying this the other night. Interesting to say the least. The smell when i opened it was deffinitly bacon but more like Beggin Strips dog treat bacon as opposed to real bacon. I recommend letting it warm up a bit, it actually tastes better. Im glad i tried it but im also glad i wasnt the person who paid $14 for the bottle.

Re: beer hauls
 

:r well i tried it. I think you're right about it warming up. Seems after a few minutes in the glass the "flavor" wasn't as strong. It wan't bad at all but def not worth the $$

nice haul:tu

Re: beer hauls
 

I regularly visit the brewery. I dont like this years first batch of OF but i think the next batch should be better. Last year it was great.

Re: beer hauls
 

Picked up 3 bottles of Black Creek Pumpkin Ale. Curious as to what they taste like...

Re: beer hauls
 

+1. It is definitely a novelty beer. Not a fan.

Picked these up tonight

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice Haul! :)

Re: beer hauls
 

Went to the beer store and picked up a 4pk of Ommegang Scythe and Sickle and a bottle of Sams Fat Jack Double Pumpkin.

Re: beer hauls
 

How is the pumpkin cider? I almost picked a 6er up the other day out of curiosity.

Re: beer hauls
 

Let me know how it is...........I will be searching for a few bottles here soon.

Re: beer hauls
 

I found it to be a dialed up version of their Havest Pumpkin. Nice dark amber, strong spice flavor. Alittle alcohol bite but not much considering its 8.5%. Overall not bad not amazing but not bad at all.

Re: beer hauls
 

I REALLY like pumpkin beer, looking forward to this one.

Re: beer hauls
 

Picked up some Breakfast Stout and O'Dells Myrcenary Double IPA.

Re: beer hauls
 

Anyone have Carib in their area?

Re: beer hauls
 

I tried a couple of bottles of Fat Jack recently. It's a huge improvement on Harvest Pumpkin IMO. I found Harvest Pumpkin to be overall rather bland. I'm a huge fan of pumpkin ales and I found Fat Jack to be one of the better ones available in my area. Personally, I prefer a pumpkin ale that actually tastes like it has pumpkin in it. Everyone around here seems to love Shipyard Pumpkin but to me it tastes like a mouthful of cinnamon and nutmeg. No actual pumpkin flavor.

I've heard a lot of good things about The Great Pumpkin Ale from Cambridge Brewing Company (a local brew pub that recently started bottling). I just picked up a bottle and may try it later tonight.

The Boston Globe actually has a beer blogger and he did a review of 12 pumpkin ales available in the Boston area which was a good read and some of these are widely available across the country:
