Re: beer hauls
 

Wanna trade? :dr:chr

Re: beer hauls
 

for?

Re: beer hauls
 

A kidney?

Don't have much, just getting into cellaring. I have some DFH WWS, one bottle of FW Parabola, several bottles of GI BCBS, Schlafly Reserve RIS, Abyss, Black Butte XXIII, and some other misc. bottles. If none of those interest you, no worries!

Re: beer hauls
 

Been on a bit of a growler roll...

Picked up a couple from Hangar 24 in Redlands, CA on Saturday on the way back from Palm Springs.

IPA & DIPA

Good stuff - can't get 'em in bottles smaller than this or closer to home unfortunately!

Re: beer hauls
 

DFH 75 Min IPA and a 6er of Flying Bison IPA

Re: beer hauls
 

feels like I haven't posted here in forever...I see there's been some very nice hauls over the last few months...I've been haulin' too, just haven't taken any pictures, until today...
restocked the fridge at work...nothing special, just some universal favorites around here.

Re: beer hauls
 

Stopped for some shopping after work today.

Re: beer hauls
 

My Father In-Law stopped in to grab us 4 bottles but said the place was an absolute mad house. Did they have any left over at the 7:30pm mark for a no limit buy? We didn't even get to taste one :(

Re: beer hauls
 

I was going to say those look like Hangar growlers. The IPA and DIPA are great.

Re: beer hauls
 

They had some left at 7:30 for up to a case a person purchase. We were in line but they ran out before we got any more. This is the first time they completely sold out. Over 5,000 people showed up for the event.

Re: beer hauls
 

That's a shame...he was there at around 1 and the employees at the front were saying they were out of wristbands for the Hunahpu :gary

Next year I'll be there bright and early with a cooler and a lawn chair :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Drove around town today before work, during lunch and after work for KBS. Stopped at 6 places and scored bottles at 4 of them. Only one sold it in 4 packs rest were single bottles.

I haven't heard many good things about the 2012 yet. I want to kick my allergies I got right now before I crack a bottle. I had it fresh at KBS Day at Founder but it took the back seat to Bourbon Barrel Sumatra Brown another beer that was on tap that day. I personally think 2010 was the last year that KBS was great.

Re: beer hauls
 

I scored a whopping 2 bottles. One other place had another bottle for sale but they wanted $8.99 for one 12oz bottle, I decided to pass.

Re: beer hauls
 

It's never been this crazy around here for KBS. I think the beer world has exploded in the last year and a half based on how hard it has gotten to get certain beers.

Re: beer hauls
 

That and Founder's has gone into multiple new markets without expanding production, though I hear they are supposed to be remedying that soon

Re: beer hauls
 

They will triple the amount of KBS made next year compared to this year.


Same with Goose Island which has increased their distribution to the point were stores around here never see any of the hard to find stuff anymore.

Re: beer hauls
 

This drove me nuts! The big Bud boys buys GI and forget all about the locals who helped make them what they'd become. Very disappointing.:td

Re: beer hauls
 

Growing pains can be just that, all in all I am glad for the craft boom. Even the redneck bars now have at least a local beer on tap or something like Fat Tire. I understand that Fat Tire is nothing to flip out about but its a solid choice over the BMC dominance of years past

Re: beer hauls
 

Very true Albert!

Re: beer hauls
 

I also like the fact I can get your locals better than you locals can :p

Re: beer hauls
 

Oh sure, you expect good reasoning to squash the beginning of a perfectly fine silly grudge toward big Bud's latest acquisition. Probably will, nicely stated.


LOL, nice one.

Re: beer hauls
 

So happy to get this.

Enjoying some Founders Breakfast Stout. Scored 3 4- packs

Re: beer hauls
 

Picked these up today! Tried to keep it local while I'm out here...cept for that 3 Floyds/Brew Dog combo..looked too good to pass up!

http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/.../photo31-1.jpg

Re: beer hauls
 

Excellent choices.
The 3 CA beers are some of my favorites. Wish I could get 3 Floyds out here in San Diego.

Re: beer hauls
 

Good to hear! I was worried they wouldn't be as good as I'd hoped but now you've got me excited! We can't pick up 3 Floyds in FL either so as soon as I saw that bottle I grabbed it...may be my only chance to snag one :)

Re: beer hauls
 

ma has alot of beers that nh doesn't...

Re: beer hauls
 

Racer 5, Stone and Ballast Point. All very good.
Maharaja is yummy, too.

Re: beer hauls
 

The "shoulda" list that I wish I had also bought after getting home is Espresso aged Yeti, Founders Rye IPA, Founders Centennial, Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous. This place had a LOT of stone. We get it here but not as many choices...
They also had Firestone XV but at $20 I hesitate to pay that for any beer.

Re: beer hauls
 

Didn't know your Mom was a craft beer fan Julian

Re: beer hauls
 

Stone is just up the road. :) Ballast Point is also local. :)

Founders isn't even available out here. :(

Re: beer hauls
 

it's funny, they don't drink that much beer. usually in the fridge they'll have shipyard export ale, dos equis, sam adams, long trail - nothing awful just nothing adventurous. gave them a couple of the beers i brewed - surly furious clone and stone ruination clone - and they actually claimed to like them a lot. i figured they would be put off by the big hops but i guess not.

Re: beer hauls

Totally worth it. :2

Re: beer hauls
 

I went out yesterday in search of a bottle or two of KBS. I had three stores targeted that were all in the same general vicinity. First stop...grabbed two bottles! I decided to continue my travels, but I wasn't able to get any more KBS. But hey, who walks into a liquor store and doesn't walk out with something? Not me! Here's yesterday's haul.
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...il1973/KBS.jpg

Apparently I was in a Founders/DFH mood!

The third stop was one of those so-called out of the way, small places that most people won't go looking for something like this. That's where I was surprised to find a four pack of FBS.
