Too late I drank it all. :al

Re: beer hauls
 

I bought a 6-pack of Sierra Nevada the other day . 1 each of the Glissade , Bigfoot , Stout , Porter , Pale Ale and Torpedo . After seeing all the talk about the brewery I figured I'd give it a taste .

Re: beer hauls
 

Picked up a six pack of this last night.

One of my new favorite beers! Thick, malty, smoke flavors are crazy in it. The finish gave me a flashback of my old friends basement with the wood burning furnace going. It's very unique beer that I can't compare it to anything I have ever had.

If you enjoy thick malty beer with a bourbon taste I would highly recommend this.

Re: beer hauls
 

I wanna score some of this:

Re: beer hauls
 

That's insane Vic. I might have to do baby steps and find Dog Fishhead 120min first.

Re: beer hauls
 

i wasn't as impressed with the 120 min as i thought i'd be. i'll stick to the 90 and 60 min.

anyone on the west coast want to do some trading? i'm really into IPA's and DIPAS and Stouts and there is a lot i can't get here being in FL.

Re: beer hauls
 

Just picked up a few:

Rouge Captain Sig's Northwestern Ale
Hoppin' Frog B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher Oatmeal-Imperial Stout
Olde Hickory Brewery Imperial Stout
Arrogant Bastard Ale
Delirium Tremens
Red Chimay

Re: beer hauls
 

Big fan of the Red Chimay.

Great haul Greg.

Re: beer hauls
 

That's why I picked it up. :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Also why I picked up some mag48's. ;)

We need to get together for beers and smokes again.

Re: beer hauls
 

Great haul Sam!

I found one more pack of the Backwoods Bastard, still looking for more.

Re: beer hauls
 

Thanks man! all thanks to you ;)
I was really surprised with the total price, Very pleased and could easily see my self making a stop up to Burnsville every money or two, Keep me posted when and where we could meet up for a smoke or a pint:banger


Have yet to crack one.. What are your thoughts on it? Looks like a ideal beer to :set and forget: for a few years... Not sure if I have the best set up though, if anything I may leave one in my fridge for.. well... as Long as I am able too because when it gets summer time.. my house will be a little Warmer than 50-55* :r

Re: beer hauls
 

It's a great beer. It's also seasonal and it's done for now until December. I got about 3 more places to check tomorrow. If not I got a four pack to last me for a bit.

Re: beer hauls
 

Wow! did not know that, well damn I will have to snag another 4 pack if I get the chance, When is there going to be a Midwest Beer/herf? Alot of great beer geeks up here that would probably be a great addition to any pub or shack for a smoke and a few quality brews ;)

Re: beer hauls
 

Midwest Beer Herf sounds like a great idea.

I would be in 100%!

Re: beer hauls
 

"LETS DO IT!"
I highly doubt we will be able to find a pub to smoke in, if there is one good enough-Smoking aside I would be willing to drive a few hours to get too
Otherwise any given place :tu ( if another thread is started be sure to link)

Re: beer hauls
 

Nothin special but this is what I picked up yesterday

Looking good Dave. Let us know how they are:tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Re: beer hauls
 

Stopped at the beer store this morning. I was just planning to pick up a 12 pack of a nice sessionable beer since I've got lots (too much?) of high abv specialty brews. But I saw this and had to buy it. I think this may be the first "really hard to find" beer that I've purchased. Cost $19 with tax, so I blew my beer budget for the week and don't still have much in the way of sessionable brews. :ss

Re: beer hauls
 

Explain ;)
I have never seen that around... Keep us posted when you crack a bottle =]

Re: beer hauls
 

Nemesis is a once per year brew done by Founders, this year being the first. Each year it will be a unique release. I understand that there were only 4 barrels made. It was due out in December, but they decided it needed more time in the barrels, so they delayed the release until February. I've got a cold, so I'm going to wait until I have my full sense of taste back before I open one.

Founders Description:

The 2009 release of Nemesis is best described as a Maple Bourbon barrel aged wheat wine holding 12.% abv and 70 ibu's. The barrels have been resting deep in the mines of Grand Rapids for nearly 9 months and have been most effective in developing a great product.

The Bourbon barrels we used in this creation were once used to age Maple syrup from northern Michigan, then emptied, and procured for our use in ageing this beer. The combination of American oak, Kentucky Bourbon, Michigan Maple syrup and our golden/tan wheat ale has provided a delicious malty sweet ale distinctive of strong vanilla and bourbon notes.

Here is a nice article and a very cool video down in the caves.

Re: beer hauls
 

Stopped and picked up four bottles on the way home.

2x Goose Island Bourbon County Stout
2x Southern Tier Imperial Choklat Stout

Get the Goose Island while ya can fellas, my dude said orders are no longer being filled and he doesn't expect to get his last one delivered tomorrow.

Re: beer hauls
 

Great selection. I feel fortunate at the number of excellent micro-brews available here in Wi. Lake Louie is one of the best and almost no one out of Wi has access. I have been drinking the Ale Asylum hopalicious lately.

Re: beer hauls
 

All local shops are already sold out!!!!
-BOOOOO!!!!

Re: beer hauls
 

Picking up a keg of Real Ale Phoenixx Double ESB tonight after work. Thanks to a good friend, I'll be getting the only non-retail keg in the region. Pretty excited about this one :)

Re: beer hauls
 

Warren, find yourself in SoCal sometime and I'll take you to Taps Fish House and Brewery. Been to brunch there many a time when brunch turns into a spontaneous Herf! They brew some great beers too :tu

Re: beer hauls

Re: beer hauls
