Craft Beer - Post Your Pics!

[Glen-BoB]

I can't believe there isn't a thread in here strictly for Beer. Well now there is.

So I'm going to Phoenix and this store is about 3 miles from the house I am renting. I need some recommendations of beer they sell. I'm looking for Hoppy beers please. I've had a few of them they sell but not allot. HELP ME OUT!

Thanks

BoB

What about CBS!?!?! This is some good **** right here. Beer stores will be over run with people looking for it when it is released.

I can't wait for that one! I'll hopefully be able to pick up a couple.

I picked up my second growler this weekend. I honestly think it's a magic growler because it never seems to fall below half-full. I've probably had 2 to 4 glasses every night since I got it on Saturday. I'm not complaining though, an endless supply of El Gato Grande from 2nd Shift Brewing (http://2ndshiftbrewing.com/) sounds amazing to me. I love their beer names too. They did a colaboration with a few other local breweries and called it Unicorn Killer Saison. I got to taste a few of their test batches when I went out on Saturday, and I really hope that King Kong Banana Killer, a dunkelweizen, becomes a regular.

i called two of my local beer specialty stores and one of them had no idea, the other said they are getting some tomorrow?!?

im thinking hes mistaken CBS for the FBS that is released septemberish, but i told him to call me when they get it in so we'll see.

we should all set up ratebeer accounts so we can check in and see what we all are drinking, what beers we like, etc. got mine set up http://www.ratebeer.com/user/133743/ratings/

CBS wont be distributed right now. but with in a month or two. I bet most beer stores only get a case. And those cases only go to the stores that move the most beer. Its gonna be very difficult to find since it has been brewery and special event releases only. Its the #4 beer in the world on Beeradvocate and is one of the most sought after.

I dont use ratebeer but i use untappd.com. you can post what beer your are drinking, rate it, what brewery you are at its pretty cool. I think Off uses it and I know Mexi does.

Founders doesn't distribute to Cali.

uff-da is also a good one, but i havent had the two on the right end

 

[splax23]

Time for your daily dose of BEER PORN!!!!

Trade I recieved today. Taking the growler to my monthly beer tasting tonight

Kegerator turned into beer fridge for now.

Beer Cellar pics. I moved a lot of my beer to the beer fridge to keep their cellar temps at around 45F

[Wreck]

Damn thas all lookin nice fellas! Splax, your beer collection rivals my steebook collection. ;p

I might store some going forward since I got more closet room ... tho it can get kinda toasty out here.

Nice pick up Mobez ... I committed a party foul and went to th town with all the beer, and didnt buy any. Instead I waited till I got back to buy some. Just some guiness, its s tarting t grow on me. I am drinkin a pina colada right now tho ... hahaha. And guess what, Thunda moved back and is coming to my crib tomorrow and I'm grillin burgers.

guys, wish me luck. im going after the surly five.... all the way from wisconsin!

it just came out last week and its already flying off the shelves. my sister lives in minneapolis and she said she'd be kind enough to pick some up for me. im doing all the grunt work of tracking it down so all she has to do is show up.

unfortunately, most of the places are either already sold out, or dont have any reserve list. the other places i call in aren't too specific about exactly when they get their shipment in.

so wish me luck cause im gonna need it to track some of this down. if i can get my hands on some, its gonna hit my wallet pretty hard to. ive heard $18-$20 per bottle!

Good luck! I ran across a place online that you could order most of the Surly stuff. It's something like France 44 or something. I like the idea, but I would rather pick it up in person or trade for it.

As for Splax's cellar, +1 I see a lot in there that I would love to try and/or trade for (Darkness, Dark Lord, BCBS, etc.) I also really liked the 4 Blushing Monk, multiple Founders Nemesis 2010, and the massive amount of KBS. Was that 3F Dreadnaught in the corner of one of the pics? My boss is going to be vacationing in Indiana, so I asked her if she would pick some 3F up for me if she is in the area.

Also, if anyone runs across a bottle of Magic Hat's Chaotic Chemistry, please let me know. It's an English Barleywine, but I really like the bottle art, and love the name. It's only fitting for a chemist to want a bottle.

i tried that france 44 website. they are sold out of the five already.

as for the dreadnaught, does that come in 6 packs? im pretty sure i ran across that this last weekend at one of the stores i visited.

EDIT: i dunno. i called the place i thought i saw it at and they said they only had the scottish ale. i swear i saw bottles with those labels on them tho...

double edit: i decided i would just drive the few blocks to the store since it was bothering me. they dont have dreadnaught, but they did have other 3F beer. so i was at least right about that one... darn memory!

 

[splax23]

Nope no dreadnaught here. And it only comes in bombers. I got some trades in the works right now but it looks like i am gonna get two bottles of Surly Five. One bought it for 22 and the other 18. Hope you can get some mobius

nice score splax! when will you enjoy your first taste of the five?

i think i have a decent chance since my sister works 2nd shift. stores open around 9 or 10 am, and ill call to see if they have any shipments and send her a text. hopefully she can beat some of the rush that way.

of course i wont be able to get my greedy little fingers on it for over a month!

I'm working on getting something together with one of the local guys that picked up a couple of extra bottles of Dreadnaught. I offered a few things like some Black Butte XXIII, but he said that he wasn't really looking for anything other than stouts or IPAs that aren't available here in St. Louis.

I want to know how it is too. Mobius, you might just have to take a road trip for this one.

i got one bottle reserved at a store in minneapolis my sister said she can pick it up tomorrow and hold it for me till i visit. the guy said he had a couple cases, so im hoping a few more bottles are left over tomorrow and she can pick up a couple more

 

[splax23]
