Well Tyr hopefully one day we can fix that. :tu

Re: beer hauls
 
Hell yeah, but it means making a trip out East to do a brew HERF w/ you bastages :D

Which I'm totally up for :tu

Yep, and I LOVE ordering $hit online. Oh well, TN sucks for beer ...and liquor in general.

Re: beer hauls
 
sooo...boss gave me the company card to buy beer tonight for the five of us that need to stick around until all the polls close, so I had a good trip to the liquor store:

Pliny the Elder x 4
Avery Reverend x 2
DFH Pangea
DFH Palo Santo 4 pack
Lost Abbey Lost and Found
Samuel Smith Christmas 4 pack
Rochefort 10 x 2
Le Fin du Monde
and I think a couple of other bottles

long day, but lots of beer!

Bill86 11-02-2010 06:16 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
Nice score, and on the bosses dime. EPIC

Lumpold 11-02-2010 06:28 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
Let me know how the Palo Santo is... I can get hold of that :r

Bill86 11-02-2010 06:31 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
I can tell you right now, FANTASTIC! Get a 4 pack, it's one of my go to beers. My second favorite DFH beer besides the World Wide Stout. For some reason I'm REALLY attached to the Sautea as well and the black & blue...and...okay DFH just have really awesome brews.

b0rderman 11-02-2010 06:35 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
Will do no doubt, I've had it before but it has been a while...haven't had the Pangea yet though...looking forward to diving in.

Into the Avery Reverend...boss's request. Pretty damn good! Also got a Bruery Rugbrod, forgot to add that.

Lumpold 11-02-2010 06:38 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
OK, I lied, I just checked and it's Palo Santo Marron? Is that the same beer? If it is, it better be friggin awesome, it's £5/bottle.

Bill86 11-02-2010 06:42 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
Yeah Palo Santo Marron, everyone just calls it the palo santo. O_o they are $4 USD here.

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/dogfish...-marron/66797/ Ratebeer says it's Phucking awesome! I definitely concur.

Lumpold 11-02-2010 06:51 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
How much is Raison D'Etre? Rd'E costs me.... about $4... and that's expensive given local ales are maybe $3/500ml as opposed to $4/355ml.

Bill86 11-02-2010 07:00 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
Same $3.50-$4.00 for the D'Etre

The higher ABV (18.5%) one is $10 per 12 oz "Raison D Extra"

Lumpold 11-02-2010 07:21 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
Don't have access to that one... the ones I can easily get hold of are: IPA60, IPA90, Festina Peche, Raison D'Etre, Midas Touch and Palo Santo... I presume they're are all pretty good?

Bill86 11-02-2010 07:27 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
I would rank them from best to worst
Palo Santo($4.50)
90 minute (if you LOVE hops, if not switch this and the midas touch)($3.00)
Midas touch ($3.00)
festina peche
60 minute

Haven't had any of their raison beers ...I don't like raisins.

I would buy the Palo Santo/Midas touch/90 minute all day. The rest meh..They are OKAY, but again I dig the high gravity (6.2%+ABV) beers. The festina peche is a lowly 4.5% abv. Also the 90 minute is the best rated IPA easily out of all of DFH IPAs.

Lumpold 11-02-2010 07:47 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
OK, looks like the next order will include one of each of the top three :D

Just need to get enough of an order (delivery is £7.50) otherwise it's not financially sensible.

Bill86 11-02-2010 07:51 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
You'll definitely enjoy them. I haven't had but maybe one DFH brew I didn't like. I remember the one night I pounded 3 120 minute IPA's.... oh that was fun.

Lumpold 11-03-2010 01:44 PM

So I went in to the off license, to see what, if any, ales they had. Came out with these.

Bill86 11-03-2010 02:21 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
If you like the sierra nevada I suggest getting the 30th anniversary ale the fritz and kens is :dr.

Lumpold 11-03-2010 02:27 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
Well this is the first time I've had the porter... it's not bad, just not as full as I'm used too. I don't hate SN ales, they're not offensive... just have other beers I like more... of which, you will hopefully see photos tomorrow! :tu

Lumpold 11-03-2010 02:29 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
Oh, and your beer bottles are too small. What's all this 355ml rubbish about?

Bill86 11-03-2010 03:47 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
Yeah 12 oz's, unfortunately that is the only size they come in. I look at it this way, I drink more of different kinds of beers instead of one or two of the same beer.

If I was buying bombers I'd go stones. Dogfish head doesn't do bombers only wine size bottles and 12oz's. The Black & blue, Red & white, Sautea, Theobroma, Chateau Jiahu and Miles Davis *****es Brew are all wine size 25.9 Oz.

Also Stones makes good FULL beers, Try the double bastard ale, arrogant bastard ale, Vertical epic, Russian imperial stout and the oaked arrogant bastard ale.

Lumpold 11-03-2010 03:58 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
I can get the Sublimely Self Righteous Ale, Smoked Porter and the Old Guardian easily, might need to search for those you mention.

Bill86 11-03-2010 04:07 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
The Sublimely Self Righteous is awesome. That the Russian imperial and Double Bastard are my favorites. LOVE the Ruination as well. Double Bastard will always be my favorite though.

Nice Pick ups!

I love the Raison D'etre and quite a few others there. Never had the Dark Star, let me know how it is!

I was glad to see the price was only $12 for the 4. I figured it would be $17 like KBS or Nemesis

I will! I don't know about it's US availability... brewed by a small brewer in Kent! I love it... refer the cask to bottles though.

Also... at the price below, it would have been bad form to pass on a bottle of duvel...

Some tasty hauls on this page for sure....Palo Santo is a beast!!! So good, dark, sweet and silky...among many other things. I will be going back for more.

I was wondering if any of you can get your hands on Bell's Winter White Ale, or Oberon. I cant get them down south at all. If you can I WTB some thanks guys

Bill86 11-04-2010 05:59 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
Bell doesn't distribute much down south I really wanted to try their expedition stout. Same with Alesmiths speedway stout and founders......We don't get too good of Imperial Stouts around here. I'd love to find someone to hook me up with some of these. Especially the speedway stout.

We get most everything Bell's makes so I will stop by the store and see tomorrow. The Oberon is probably gone because it was a summer seasonal but I will look for it as well.

I've still got some from last year and it is awesome. It seemed boozy when fresh, but is a delight now. I'll have to get some 2010 also.

Duvel for $1.27?? Holy cow. I'd have cleared the shelves.

Well, that's UK prices... so about $2? Yeah, I might go back and buy some more for when the bigger haul runs out.

Agreed. Fell in love with this at their brewpub in Rehoboth a couple months ago, brought home a growler. I'm going to be back there in 2 weeks, hope to get another.

One of my beer places here in t-town still has Oberon but it is beertender kegs. They also have some other Bells in 6ers I believe one of which was the Winter Ale. Shoot me a pm if your interested and we'll see what we can work out.

BlackDog 11-05-2010 08:33 PM

Re: beer hauls
 
The Oberon is 6 months old by now. I'd suggest you wait until next spring to get it fresh.

I went in to one of my stores for the latest release and the buyer brought that out for me too. I was quite surprised and thankful, especially since GI was having some problems and the latest release is even more limited than usual. A good day indeed.
