[Chicago Lefty]

That looks delicious...


I have a habanero sculpin I've been waiting to crack open. I need to find the right meal to pair it with.

[toddnt]

It's hot..l. I had it last week and the heat does linger..

The one I posted, has ginger, lime n Thai peppers.. Not nearly as hot, but tasty! My new favorite brewery!

Deschutes 2015 Jubel during the draft tonight

 

 

still have not bought anything new since the masters, have a bunch of trade stuff coming early next week, might go pick up a couple items this weekend though

[toddnt]

Belching Beaver- piña colada ipa and horchata stout.

[fore_life]

How's the piña colada?
I had the bourbon barrel cask horchata during heir anniversary, so good!!

They bottle the horchata now don't they?

[toddnt]

There was hints of coconut in the ipa... Didn't see the horchata bottled, but it was good.. Got the last taste of their pumpkin spiced stout.... That's the best.

Not sure how much more trading I think I will do. Both guys were great to trade with, but I really underestimated the cost to pack and ship everything and when all was said and done just a very high cost. I think I will probably just limit it to some personal favorites and limited seasonals etc.

[Chicago Lefty]

FedEx flat rate boxes are great for shipping...

 

Here's how my evening started:

Shiva is a great golf course beer

Shipping can get expensive especially dealing with the high weight of glass bottles. I just chalk it up to an expense of the hobby. It's easy to go to the grocery store/bottle shop and get really good beer locally but I've accepted the cost of trading as part of the gig. I have a couple trades left to complete and will probably take a break for a while and drink down my supply of beer (which currently lingers at about 50).

My box from One_Putt_Blunder is set to arrive today. Looking forward to what he has sent!

Had an Evil Twin Molotov Cocktail Double IPA with just Simcoe hops the other night. Definitely different. A bit bit sweeter than I was expecting. I've had the Double Simcoe from Weyerbacjer before, and The Evil Twin is much sweeter. Like brown sugar sweeter. Not just a malt backbone like the 90 Minute. If you like 13% beers that have a sweetness to them, pick one or two up and give it a try.

[Chicago Lefty]

Here's how we did fight night. Not sure if you have heard of Sour Beer #2 but it's amazing.

Enjoy it I probably over packed everything but didn't want to have anything show up busted.

So far the Sweetwater has been my favorite over the lager and firewater can

[toddnt]

Great day.. Got The Bruery email that Mays allotments are in and Grey Monday and L'deracola are here... Alot of 100 ratings for the Grey Monday!

[Puppetmaster]

Forget the beer (not really) I just want some of those lobsters!

[Chicago Lefty]

I've been trying to score a grey Monday. I've got the Black Tuesday and mocha Wednesday...gotta complete the week.

[toddnt]

They put the limit at 3........... They had the 2013 up for sale as well, but it all sold out!

[One_Putt_Blunder]

2nd trade made it today, looking forward to enjoying some new beers over the next few weeks

 

[Redman23]

[sup]Looking through my local (Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada) liquor store, I came across a lager called Brooklyn Lager, it's a new favourite of mine! Good for summer or winter![/sup]

[bub72ck]

My local bottle shop has a nice supply of Oskar Blues Ten Fidy. I picked up four but I think I'm going to go back and get four more and let them sit a while.

[toddnt]

Latest haul, taking one to Palm Springs to test out..

[fore_life]

Is stuff from the Bruery cheaper in Cali? Most stuff I can find seem to be $20 and up minus rugbrod which is around $12
