im sure there's plenty time, but if not i dont think we'll be short on bottles :tu

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Yeah, sounds like there will be lots. I'm so looking forward to it.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I would be willing to bring them for you as well, Tom. Just make sure they get to me by 8/15.

I'll bring a few beers too :) I have a 8 month old bottle of Brooklyn Black Ops that is coming.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I picked up this assortment yesterday

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

That Sam Smith is good stuff. Especially the oatmeal stout. I haven't seen the others before.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

The middle two are a couple of Three Floyds' regular releases, I've had the Alpha King but haven't bought any Pride & Joy yet.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I'm going to try to bring a growler or two of some local micros.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I remember hearing about Three Floyd's at last years beer table. Sounds like a good brewery from what people were saying.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I'll bring the Natty Light!!

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

They make a few I really like, obviously Drak Lord being the pinnacle for me as I am a stout lover. Gumballhead is another of my favorites, and that one is regular production.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Cool...you can do a one man beer tasting all weekend. ;)

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Sounds like I didn't too bad for my 1st blind beer sampler purchase, a coworker of mine was telling me about Gumballhead....would like to try this, I did look at my local store with no success obviously.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Tristan should still have some leftover Schiltz if you need a palate cleanse between Natty Lights.... lol

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Klugs will probably have a bunch of Bud Select 55s in the cooler too. When the pellegrino ran out last year, I started shotgunning them :)

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Natural Light, Bud Select, Schlitz...big time fun coming for Steve. :tu

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

LOL! I'll be bringing some good local beers up & some Sam Adams Longshots

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

You were not at Shack last year. Stop spreading blatant lies.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

picked up a few bottles from the local brewery in Cocoa Beach today. never ha them so we'll try them.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

PBR me ASAP

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I can help you with that request my dear! :)

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I got some nice aged stuff you might like.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I was just kidding. :r ;)

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

So you don't want my aged PBR?

Leaves more for the table.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I wasn't :lr

If you are referring to the beer I'll sample some with ya :D

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I'll even pass on it. :D

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

should we discuss a day/time? i know friday has been thrown around, perhaps in the early afternoon. ideas?

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

After dinner has seemed to work well.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I won't be there till late Friday night.....so I may have to drop out of this if you guys are planning on Friday night.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Not a big deal, Mickey, just bring your stuff, I am sure there will be lots of "unofficial" sampling all weekend.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I have KBS from 2011
Old Iron Tankard from Terrapin (#1)
Milk chocolate stout from 2011 to name a few...
just don't think i'll be able to make it though... :(

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Thanks for posting then. :r

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Yeah I'm sure I can get a group together -(P

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

all my bottles wont be drank at the main tasting, i'll get in on one saturday as well!

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

You're much obliged Tom! :D

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Going to a beer tasting to see if I can find anything good for this.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Me too!

High five!

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Same here... Well on monday, but same idea :tu

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Headed to the beer store myself to see what I can find in the way Of decent Canadian craft beer. Don't expect too much as the Canadian craft industry is very much in its infancy.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Haha I was there last year (and each of the 4 previous)... It was YOU who was t there. It will be great to meet you :)

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Boy am I ready for the Shack Beer Tasting. I ALWAYS miss the Shack Saturday owing to other business,
and while I WILL be missing Thursday, gaining Saturday is huge for me. I realize that we are talking about
Friday evening, but Saturday has been a mystery for me, keeping me out of the cornhole tourney every year.
No flank steak in all my 5 shacks....I have about a 6 pack of things I can bring. I have NO true prizes, but
maybe a few palate cleansers and a good stout or two. And of course, a couple boxes of pint glasses, haha.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Brad your coming to shack now? SWEET!

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I picked up a horizontal of this years LEs from a Kelowna BC craft brewery to bring.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I just attended the 2nd annual Twin Cities beer fest this past Saturday. I didn't find anything very exciting. Dave said to look for Surly so I'll look for that tomorrow. I've been to three breweries here so far. Some decent oatmeal stouts that unfortunately can't be put in growlers.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

My selections are going to be a little weak, not too much stuff on hand that's impressive.

Abita 25th Anniversary Vanilla Double Dog
New Holland Dragon's Milk Stout
Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot
Heavy Seas Plank 1
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

MMM that WTF beer is good.

I am going to bring this Case of 2011 Bell's Expidition Stout
750ml of Bell's sparkling ale
750ml of Bell's Harvest ale.

I should pick up some Lagunitas unemployment ale, that stuff is great.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Sounds good to me :tu

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

I am sure mine isnt special enough to make it to the main tasting, but It will be available.

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

Never had an Expedition Stout, I'm down for a taste, Devan. :tu

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

+1

Re: Official Shack Herf VIII Beer Tasting Thread
 

+2.

You have to remember that when it really gets rolling, this tasting, if years past are any indication, is a steamroller
of heavy, crafty, hard to find beers. To clear the palate with ANYTHING that is different from the prevailing trend
is pretty damn refreshing. I like motor oil almost as much as the next guy, but I would appreciate ALL entries that
keep me going longer and to me that is something light and refreshing and quality. LORD my beer nipples are getting
hard. And naturally, I am interested to see if you can participate in all these events and still be standing later. :D
