Re: beer hauls
 

Sometimes Costco comes through, a six pack of each for $21. Not bad compared to local prices.

Re: beer hauls

Re: beer hauls
 

Just got back from Asheville NC where I made a couple pickups of mostly local brews and a few others that don't distribute to GA as well as some I just couldn't pass up (i.e. *****es Brew)

Re: beer hauls
 

Looks like a sweet smorgasbord haul, Albert! :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

The *****es brew is so awesome but it sold out MAD quick here. I only got to get one bottle.

Re: beer hauls
 

It was the same here but this haul came from my trip to Asheville this weekend and one of the stores I visited still had this lonely bottle on the shelf so I adopted it :D

Re: beer hauls
 

What the hell?
Where did you get B itches Brew?

Re: beer hauls
 

Appalachian Vinters in Asheville, NC...looked like the last bottle but they may have had more. A second release also was sent to distributors on Nov. 15th so you should see it again on shelves any day now.

Re: beer hauls
 

D'oh! Go figure. I'm fittin to get my travel on and won't be back until December 14th. It'll probably all be gone then.
Oh well... I just checked and there is not a retailer 'round here anywhoo.

Re: beer hauls
 

Yeah and the new Brew Masters show is not going to make it any easier to find even the second release of Bi***es Brew. It was pretty darn good, though, I must say. And I'm not the biggest DFH fan.

Re: beer hauls
 

I'm a big Sam fan. A few of their beers are home runs for me: 90min, old school, immort, but Sam is such a character, himself, and perfect for a show like this.

Re: beer hauls
 

Dogfish head Punkin ale 4 pack from 09. Just picked these up I'd post pictures but.....some are empty the others aren't looked to survive the night either.

Re: beer hauls
 

Well went home for Thanksgiving and did a little bootleggin on return:


Round 1 - The on sale and cheaper than home

Round 2 - The banned by TABC edition - I wish they had had more Double Bastard, probably buy a case of it at Christmas to last me a while.

Re: beer hauls
 

Double bastard is EPIC, love the red & white too.

Nice score!

Re: beer hauls
 

Good to hear about the Red & White. Went lookin for B1tches Brew, but was sold out of course.

Been drinking the Double for years, when I moved to Texas never knew until recently why I couldn't find it locally. Turns out TABC won't license that adult beverage because the word 'masturbatory' is on the label. :tf

Re: beer hauls
 

Are you kidding me? Yeah same here the double is one of my few staples I always pick up. I like the Red & White and Black & Blue. Probably the Black & Blue more but the masses don't agree, meh.

Yeah B!tches brew was so freaking limited, I scored one bottle of it and that was all. It was good though.

Re: beer hauls
 

Wish I was.. Evidently its one of many reasons why a lot of my favs aren't available here. How about having the word beer anywhere on a label, even the back on a 'beer' with more than 5% alcohol won't be licensed for individual sale.

Re: beer hauls
 

That is just outrageous. I couldn't live there O_O ;s

Re: beer hauls
 

nice haul...we've got a quite a few double bastard magnums floating around town now...all at about $90. Anyone else have a price to compare? I almost want one, but a case makes much more sense at that price.

Re: beer hauls
 

My girlfriend was burning her paycheck up at Whole Foods the other day and thought to grab me some treats... remembering I love Belgians, I think she did a pretty decent job!

Re: beer hauls
 

Yea those huge bottles. $90 here to. I didn't buy one, they told me you cannot reseal them in any way.

Bought a bottle of Stone Vertical Epic today and Samuel Smiths Oatmeal stout.

Re: beer hauls
 

2 bottles Stone Lucky Basartd. Sorry for the crappy pic.

Anyone try this yet?

Re: beer hauls
 

No but I an infinitely jealous. It's a Stone Bastard Brew, I'm sure it is nothing short of liquid glory. Please let me know how it is compared to say the regular arrogant bastard/double bastard.

Re: beer hauls
 

Grabbed a few Poppa Skull's from Dogfish Head and Three Floyds.

Re: beer hauls
 

Anchor Chrimstas Ale Magnums from 2009 and 2010. Want to get 5 years age on either one before opening.

They do such a wonder for job with them.

Re: beer hauls
 

Going to stock up today. I'll have to look for that Stone Lucky Bastard. I am not much of a fan of the AB or OAB (not sure why).

Re: beer hauls
 

For me it's Double Bastard > Arrogant Bastard > Oaked Arrogant Bastard

Re: beer hauls
 

2 bottles of Southern Tier Choklat :xxx

Re: beer hauls
 

Re: beer hauls
 

The Miles Davis Brew?! Really?! PM inbound

Re: beer hauls
 

Two St Bernardus Christmas Ale bombers, Delirium Noel bomber, Rogue Santa's Private Reserve Ale, and a bomber of Chimay Blue.

Re: beer hauls
 

Had this exact same haul yesterday. Only had the Lukcy on tap so far, but from that tasting, for me, it's:
Lukcy > Double >>>>> AB (haven't had oaked AB yet because it's too $$$ for me. I draw a line somewhere before that).

Re: beer hauls
 

Wow, I gotta try that Lukcy Basartd

Re: beer hauls
 

Had this year's DB on tap right after it. From what I can remember (it was a few weeks ago), the Lukcy was noticeably more hopped. It may have been the extra hops in the Lukcy, but the DB was a lot hotter tasting then I remember as the extra alcohol showed up WAY too much in this year's. I'm thinking the extra hops in the lukcy must've thrown off my palate.

Re: beer hauls
 

3x Three French Hens
3x Cantillon Classic

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice! I picked up a bottle of French Hens yesterday.

Hey Man, I still owe you some patches.

Re: beer hauls
 

Made a trip across the border to Wisconsin with the wife yesterday, in search of some Dogfish Head, and came home with all this:

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice haul Mike :banger

Re: beer hauls
 

...and we got on their list, in case they get any more DFH B1tches Brew (seems right up our alley, with our tastes). :D Gotta decide what I'm drinking with my dinner tonight. He he. :D

Re: beer hauls
 

Today was a good day!:D

Re: beer hauls
 

Looks like it!
That St Bernardus Abt 12 is my all time favorite beer!

Re: beer hauls
 

Couple bombers of Three Floyds Alpha Klaus Christmas Porter

Re: beer hauls
 

OK, I need to stop going to the store. One bottle of Delirium Noel, 3 bottles of Bells Batch 10,000 and one bottle of Bourbon County Rare Stout, bottle # 7,396.

Re: beer hauls
 

I will trade you my 1st born for that bottle of GI Bourbon County Rare!
If anyone has a line on a bottle, I will make it worth you while!

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice pick ups....

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice haul!:tu :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Looking good!!!:dr

Re: beer hauls
