Re: beer hauls
 

Here's my latest...























Oh wait...I didn't get any KBS this year, because people were FOLLOWING THE TRUCK FROM STORE TO STORE here in MPLS!!!!!!!!!!! :gary:gary:gary:gary

Re: beer hauls
 

That happened in NJ with CBS this year. Unreal. Somehow it wasn't 100% known KBS was coming this week in NJ. I asked a guy at the store if they were getting it and his answer was "We're not sure, and don't call and ask," alluding that regardless if they got it or not they would say no.

At least it gave me a fighting chance.

Re: beer hauls
 

This is the kind of crap that drives me crazy. It's almost as bad as those automatic sequencers event companies use that crash Ticketmaster whenever a high profile concert goes on sale.

Makes me thankful that I homebrew and can recreate a reasonable alternative to these (often) overly hyped commercial beers.

Re: beer hauls
 

Does Pete Johnson brew KBS?
I thought it was good, but not THAT good!

Re: beer hauls
 

LMAO.

We were lucky enough to pick up some at an out of the way liquor store last year. Obviously not so lucky this year. It is honestly one of the top 2 or so brews I've ever had. That and Surly Darkness. There are other very good stouts I've had, but they didn't hit me quite like this did. It's just another example of why there are so many brews and cigars out there...different tastes for different folks.

Gerard, if I had time to brew my own beer, I would. But it's just another expense that I don't really need to add to my life right now. LOL

Sorry crappy iphone pic.

Re: beer hauls
 

A buddy called me Friday and said he got a CASE of KBS and wanted to know if I wanted to split it. I said sure! I also grabbed a few singles here and there. Stocked up for a little while.

Re: beer hauls
 

Re: beer hauls
 

Thats good stuff right there. Had my first Hoptimum the other day and loved it. The Torpedo is a staple in my beer fridge.

Re: beer hauls
 

Curious to see how the Torpedo holds up in the cans. This batch was canned in Feb.

Nice hauls on the Westvleteren. :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Thanks, a buddy got it for me from the gift shop at the abbey. I need to call them and make an appointment and get me a case of the 12, I live about 30-40 mins from the abbey.

Re: beer hauls
 

Best idea ever!

That's very cool. :tu

Re: beer hauls

-4pk Green Flash Palate Wrecker
-4pk SN Hoptimum

Re: beer hauls
 

Re: beer hauls
 

Drove 10 hours round trip to Ithaca for the Leablu release and got totally shut out at the brewery. There way WAY more people there than they had cases, but for some reason they chose not to reduce the allotment so some 100+ people stood in line for 2 hours only to get no beer. Managed to pick up a bottle randomly chatting up a guy at lunch, so it wasn't a total loss and qualifies as a "haul" I guess.

Re: beer hauls
 

Thats sux man.Id be alittle peeved if i went through all of that and couldnt get any. I have never had any of their special releases but i have had many a good time with their Cascazilla. Love that stuff.

Got to try their new 14th Anniversary Excelsior!, which was kind of meh. It's a black ipa, and was ok, but didn't blow any of us away. Can never get enough Flower Power though, I'll have to try the Cascazilla.

Re: beer hauls
 

If you like a hoppy red ale you cant go wrong with Cascazilla

Re: beer hauls
 

Cousin has been raving about these brews so I picked some up while I was in Atlanta this weekend. Looking at the BA reviews it looks like theyre all rated in the low to mid 80s. First two Hoplantas were pretty good. I'd buy them again.

Jailhouse Brewing Co (Hampton, Ga)
Hop Riot (one time release)
Slammer Wheat
Breakout Stout
Mugshot IPA
Red Brick Hoplanta IPA

Re: beer hauls
 

Re: beer hauls
 

Some damn nice looking hauls on here. My beeridor is running low need to head to the store this week.

Re: beer hauls
 

Re: beer hauls
 

have you tried the Avery yet?

Re: beer hauls
 

I tried it last night. Very very smooth for a young 17er. I'm not a big Imperial guy, and only really got them because I try to get all the Avery BA series I can...but I've since gone back out for some more because it is delicious. Looking forward to having another in 6 months or so.

Re: beer hauls
 

I missed this question, South Florida, West Palm Beach to be more precise. :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Picked these up at the store today: Southern Tier Oak Aged Un-Earthly IPA, and a bottle of Liefmans Cuvee-Brut.

Re: beer hauls
 

Beautiful. I love Avery's stouts but have never had this one, it appears to be just a Colorado release?

Any chance you could pick up some bottles for me and ship them? I would definitely compensate you for your time! Please PM me if you can help.
