Scored a case of Surly Pentagram today.

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice. I'm curious about the Pentagram. I have a buddy trying to pick some up for me.

Re: beer hauls
 

WTF? I guess I never really check, but this is the first I've heard of Pentagram.

Picked up a 4 pack of Surly Abrasive, sixer of Hopslam, and a bottle of Stone Vertical Epic 12-12-12 over the weekend. The Abrasive is already gone. Damn I love that stuff. :dr

Re: beer hauls
 

Pentagram is a 100% Brett dark beer aged in red wine barrels. Did you ever try Surly Five when that came out? This is essentially the same beer. This is the first year release of Pentagram, and they're going to brew it annually. Only get this if you dig sour beers. If you make it to the cities you shouldn't have a problem finding a couple of bottles.

BTW, Abrasive is my favorite beer :dr

Re: beer hauls
 

i love sours..

Re: beer hauls
 

Picked up some locals.

Re: beer hauls
 

WTF is Grain Belt?

Re: beer hauls
 

Grain Belt was a MN Brewery (it's now owned by August Schell Brewing Company). Grain Belt Premium is an American Adjunct Lager and is very popular in MN. It's pretty cheap and is better than the macro lagers.

Re: beer hauls
 

A co-worker of my wife is from MN and gave me a 12er of Grain Belt over the summer. I loved it as a great hanging out on the patio beer. I agree much better than most macros. Just wish i could get it here in NY.

Re: beer hauls
 

Here is my haul from the weekend.

Re: beer hauls
 

Nice score! It seems every time I want a Surly, I'm on the wrong side of the river. I wish they'd distribute to WI still. I am not far from MN, but I just don't have the foresight to buy beer when I'm in Minny.

Re: beer hauls
 

Since you're in Wisconsin, do you get a lot of Central Waters stuff? Is there any of their BBBW still around (Bourbon Barrel Barleywine)? I didn't get any this year and would love to find some.

Re: beer hauls
 

Yesterday picked up a couple of cases of Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye and six bombers of DFH 75 Minute IPA. :dr

Re: beer hauls
 

I'll check at a few of the better stocked stores around here and let you know.

Re: beer hauls
 

I am still looking for that Cherry ale from Wisconsin if anyone wants to make arrangements to ship some to me.
New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red

Please?

Re: beer hauls
 

Not making it right now Brad. Might still find it around but doubtful.

There was a bad cherry crop so they made one called serendipity.

It's not bad at all and pretty interesting and tasty.

Re: beer hauls
 

Holy hell man! Trying to remember if I even had that.

Nice haul!

Re: beer hauls
 

Appreciate it!

Re: beer hauls
 

That Pentagram looks tasty I need to track one (a case) down.

Picked up a few sixers of Ruthless to start my my four day weekend :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Thanks Hootie, for the info. I can't imagine it will come anywhere close to that magical
$HI+ we drank last August, I seriously considered disappearing into the night with that
bottle. That stuff was the bizzomb-o

Re: beer hauls
 

Neither did I. They sell them at Petco park at the Padres games which I had a couple of. The next day at the brewery they had them for sale.

Re: beer hauls
 

Time to revive this baby with some recent acquisitions :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

The Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti is excellent (as is everything from Great Divide)

Re: beer hauls
 

It really is very tasty Peter! I think the only thing they've ever released that I didn't care for was their DPA. But I like to stock up on the Yeti for those cold evenings :D

Re: beer hauls
 

Are you referring to Hercules (DIPA)?
I thought it was very good.

If you can find it - their Wolfgang (Doppelbock Lager) is outstanding.

Re: beer hauls
 

http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...ps733b4849.jpg

This is what I brought back from vacation: Angry Orchard Apple Ginger Hard Cider, SMB Black Bear Ale, SMB Tuckaleechee Porter, SMB Windy Gap Wheat, SMB Valas Helles, Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, O'Fallon Pumpkin Beer, Xingu Black Beer, North Coast Scrimshaw, Hornsby's Amber Draft Hard Cider.

Missing: the SMB Cherokee Red Ale and SMB Appalachian Pale Ale I drunk in Tenn. (along with several on tap pints of various brews).

Re: beer hauls
 

No, their Denver Pale Ale. I just wasn't a fan of that one. I haven't had the Wolfgang. I'll have to track it down! I've been beer hunting quite a bit lately :xxx




Edit - some great pickups Derek!

Re: beer hauls
 

MMMMMM Tart of Darkness and Cantillion:dr Nice pick ups. Here are some of my latest goodies:

Re: beer hauls
 

Love me some Ommegang! Good choices sir!

Re: beer hauls
 

THIS plus a case of Southern Tier Creme Brulee stout!!! Btw, my wife picked up all of these while she was in Illinois!

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...ps635b4d0d.jpg

Re: beer hauls
 

Very nice Tyr. Doing a beer table on the 12th. I will post pics from that.

Re: beer hauls
 

very nice looking stuffs. the creme brulee is a little sweet for my tastes, but everything else looks great :tu

wish we could get three floyds around here, never had anything bad by them

Re: beer hauls
 

Has anyone every taken a bottle to a restaurant and did the corkage thing.... Kinda disappointed with Ruth's Chris beer menu and debated bringing a Deschutes Abyss.

Re: beer hauls
 

That sounds great Kristin! Definitely post up some pics. I'll be doing a bottle share next weekend with a few local guys. I think we're going with a Barrel aged theme.


It is a bit sweet for most people I've found (after many people talking sh*t on FB lol) but I absolutely LOVE it. The aroma itself is just nuts!

I have, but I knew the manager of the place so there wasn't any issue with it (or charge for that matter). I know most places that are cool with wine are fine with it. Although it helps if you're bringing a bomber that looks like a wine bottle anyway LOL

Re: beer hauls
 

My pickups this weekend :D

Re: beer hauls
 

Wow Brother, you must really like the Creme Brûlée! I can't finish one bottle of it.....only beer thats ever happened to me on......

Re: beer hauls
 

Hoarding the best pumpkin beer out there!

Re: beer hauls
 

I am a VERY big fan. And don't worry, I can't finish the entire Bomber in one sitting either LOL. Too much 'diabeetus~! LOL. In all honesty though, only 8 of them are for me. The other 4 I bought to trade as Creme Brulee stout fetches a very high trading price in AZ :tu

AWESOME!
