Re: beer hauls
 

that is where I usually shop, but I have not seen it. :sh

Re: beer hauls
 

Surly Darkness!! My favorite liquor store had a bottle squirreled away. 4pk Surly Abrasive Ale and Deschuttes Mirror Mirror. In freaking beer heaven.

Re: beer hauls
 

I was out earlier looking for that Ommegang that Dave scored. No dice. But I did pick up some local brews and a Stone

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...haul122910.jpg

Dominion Brewery is the home of the original Tupper's Hop Pocket Ale, one of my first favorite IPAs from long ago, and whose brewmaster eventually left for Victory Brewing. Legend Brewing is a Richmond brewery with some excellent beers but only regional distribution. This barleywine is a special release--15% ABV, holy crap! Very tasty :al

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice 15% Enjoying slaying that beast Gerard!

Re: beer hauls
 

I was told by my local Total Wine that Dominion was no longer! I really enjoyed that particular stout. I am going back to make them re-order :sl

Re: beer hauls
 

Score! I haven't ever found Darkness in stores, but have a tradition with a friend where we hunt it down on tap after it's released each year and have a couple of glasses. :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Some Brooklyn brewery black ops and Dogfish *****es brew

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice haul! I've heard good things about the black ops, let us know how it is.

woops, kinda washed out.

Left three bottles are Cantillon raspberry gueze, Cantillon Grand Cru and Birreria Troll Chestnut Ale (Italy).

Can't wait to try the BFM La Dragonne After Ski Ale...to be served "mulled like a hot wine"

Re: beer hauls
 

Here's what I picked up in Hudson last week. Quality over Quantity. :D

Re: beer hauls
 

Man I am impressed that you still found bitc*es brew!

Whats the other?

Re: beer hauls
 

Looks Like a Three Floyd's Moloko Milk Stout

Re: beer hauls
 

Ah, thanks :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Yup. Three Floyds Moloko Milk Stout. The DFH B'Brew just came in at a store in Hudson. We got a call from them that they got some (1 case). Limited to 1 bottle each. :( They also had DFH World Wide Stout, but it was $8.99/12 oz bottle, and just couldn't pull the trigger. I'm regretting that now. :(

Re: beer hauls
 

Three Floyds Moloko is good stuff. Nice haul.

Re: beer hauls
 

Last night I grabbed bombers of

Three Floyds Black Sun Stout x2
Three Floyds Alpha Klaus Christmas Porter x2

Re: beer hauls
 

Our shelves are lined with WWS, but haven't been able to find a single bottle of B*Brew since it was first released--even though we're not more than 200 miles from the brewery. :bh Glad you could score one all the way out there in the midwest!

Re: beer hauls
 

Yeah have not seen it here either and still no Ommegang Chocolate Indugence.

Re: beer hauls
 

I remember reading a release from Sam at DFH saying certain states on the "normal" release routes would not be getting the B-Brew, and I think I remember VA being on that list. Sorry you couldn't get any, the WWS didn't do much for me, but the B-Brew is fantastic. I've got one bottle cellared now, and would gladly buy more if I can find it.

Re: beer hauls
 

Picked up a four pack tonight on the way home:

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice score on the BCS Rare. Still no sight of it around here.

Re: beer hauls
 

Showed up Wednesday here.

Topeka is only a days horseback ride from here... so, here's to hoping you see it soon. (and cheaper than here :()

Re: beer hauls
 

snagged two bottles of stone sublimely self righteous last night.

Re: beer hauls
 

Total Wine by me had Rodenbach Grand Cru, which I haven't seen in a while and thought they were no longer making...........I say "had" because I bought all they had on the shelf and left it empty. :D Sorry local sour beer fans.

Calling today to see if they will be getting more, the check out lady tried to check but could not tell last night.

Re: beer hauls
 

They're getting more next week. :banger

I guess they are making this again, or maybe they never stopped? Anybody know?

In any case, glad they have it and will be getting more. :noon

Re: beer hauls
 

FWIW it is not marked "retired" at Beer Advocate

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/216/673

Re: beer hauls
 

Thanks Albert. :tu
Did some research and I guess production never really halted. It was rumored that production was going to stop just on the Grand Cru, and then I didn't see it for a while, so I guess I just assumed. In any case, this is the first time TW in my area has carried it, so I am happy....and happy they are getting more. :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

You happy makes me happy :noon

Re: beer hauls
 

:sad

Re: beer hauls
 

Well now I'm sad because Tony is sad...what a roller coaster of a day



:D

Re: beer hauls
 

When Seth tells me he is going to share some with me, I'll turn that frown upside down. ;)

Re: beer hauls
 

And the emotional roller coaster continues...I need a beer

Re: beer hauls
 

What beer are you having Albert?

Re: beer hauls
 

Rough day yesterday, so I treated myself to a special purchase on the way home:

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...haul011911.jpg

Had to cheat a little on my "no beer during the week" mantra and sample that Avery porter last night. Great stuff! Saving the Hoptimum for the weekend, when I can relax and enjoy it.

Re: beer hauls
 

I was at work so I was not able too, my emotional torment lasted until last night when I got home and have a Terrapin Wake n Bake

BTW Nice pickups Gerard :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Thank you, I feel a little better about myself :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

All you punks getting Hopslam are just not fair to post pics. That is probably my #1 favorite and I cannot get it here in the Republic of Tejas. DAMMIT!

Re: beer hauls
 

It is supposed to hit shelves here today so when I get mine I'll post pics for you to drool over :D

Re: beer hauls
 

Who got Hopslam?! :dr It flew off the shelves at my beer store in just a few hours--they were supposed to get their shipment in this week, but it came last Thursday, so I missed it :( I have one more connection in this area but I think I may be SOL

Re: beer hauls
 

Ha, my beer is your beer! :D:tu

I've got plenty enought to share. :D

Re: beer hauls
 

:dance:

Re: beer hauls
 

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice picks!!!

I was surprised at how GOOD the JK Scrumpy Cider was!

Re: beer hauls
 

I'm certainly hoping it's good these are all firsts for me!

Re: beer hauls
 

It is, my fav cider, hands down.
