Just looked at the BA top beers of the world and realized that I have in my possession or have consumed 45 out of the top 50

*sigh*

Dear po po policeman Dan who lives within walking distance of the new England brewery,
They are re-releasing "wet willy" a scotch ale aged on oak chips.

I had a small sample or two of this last year and it was meni meni goods. In 3 weeks it is being released in 500ml bottles. Also the tequilla aged gandhi bot is going to be a buy at the brewery only. No special one day only release, just show up and buy it till it's gone ~700 bottles total

Poop brewery related update:

Deconstruction of beer keezer 1.0 starts this evening with the tearing apart and rebuilding of version 2.0 (a much newer and nicer looking freezer.)
Remove all hardware and clean/polish
Remove all beer lines, clean, scrub and sanitize.
Make a yeast starter for brewday on Sunday/Monday
make invert sugar for next brewday
Wax dip barleywine bottles with the crazy solution I mixed up on Tuesday.
Jerry rig some sort of box/mount to put the 20lb co2 tank on the outside.
Take measurements for placement of faucets and debate adding a 5th and 6th tap (one possibly for nitro and one for soda)

things to buy:
Order another co2 regulator
order 2 cordless dehumidifiers to place inside fridge so I don't need to worry about moisture buildup and drainage
more caulking
candy thermometer up to 300 degrees
5lbs sugar
citric acid

sounds good
perfect storm aka mother of all storms announced for november

Do you want to go together and order some? Their website allows you to get on a waiting list for any beer that might be left over after the release. $20 a bottle, min of 6 bottles per shipment which can include a mix of any other beer they have in stock.

was gonna talk to you about either ordering or me just going there

That's a bit of a haul isn't it? (Well maybe clearly much longer than your Portland trips?)

What special beers they put on tap that day might really make it worthwhile...donno

Regardless I would really like to square up with you on what's already owed before going deeper in debt

whatever, its clearly like im gonna clearly get mother and then clearly share with you

its about a 1h45 drive, but its the oregon coast. i love the coast.

This is how it starts...
By the days end Joe will have convinced himself that there is no other option but drive there for XXX reasons.

But seriously, text me a figure of what it is $ that I still owe you please

i dont know. i dont know how to value what you have sent me. you know the number of what i originally bought for you, dont count the couple things i sent as actually gifts because you were iso.

trouble is driving through the mountains to get back

Joe,
it might clearly be a bad idea to get your name on the list now and cancel later? Or maybe if you do go to the release, you can get more bottles a month later?

done
they will call within 48 hours for cc info
how many you want? ill find out then if its binding or if i can back out pending me going there. release is on a friday too so i dont know the hours. may have to take that day off work.

GOING TO DRINK SOME KEYSTONE LIGHT SOME TIME SOON

im saying fuck it and keep your name on even if you do go. chances are there will be a bottle limit when you go to the release (at least every other release usually puts a limit on how many you can buy)
i dont think there is a promise of any bottles going on sale if the release day is as successful as other limited releases this year. if some do go on sale after the release and your name is high enough on the list that you can order, you can chalk me up for as many as we need to fill out the order

if you wife wants to cook, clean, etc we may be able to work out a deal

currently enjoying the newest scratch beer from troegs
and ipa made with wet citra hops that were picked from the vine somewhere out west and flown in the same day to be brewed with

it smells like some form of citrus juice more than beer.... was just released today and is as fresh as you can possibly get it, so hoppy it doesnt even seem to be a beer

I can't wait for NEB's wet willy scotch ale, gonna get a growler if I can in addition to some bottles

@ Joe

Update:

Adding to the beer I will be shipping you
Great Lakes Nosferatu
Founders Breakfast Stout
Bells Hell Hath No Fury
Bells Expedition Stout

This is a fucking great list.

sounds awesome

been drinking flying dog tripel kerbos and gonzo porter today but the label says imperial stout

pretty damn cool that they even got themselves confused with that rediculous categorization

cant decide what I want to drink this evening...

sierra nevada tumbler
troegs scratch 33
philadelphia joe coffee porter
bells 25th anniversary
white birch berliner weisse
new glarus unplugged berliner weisse

leaning towards the berliner weisse since they are slowly going out of season

Drinking New Belgium Trippel, p good esp for the price and availability here

had tumblr on tap and bottle and it was decent but nothing special really, the coffee porter sounds delic

Loving the fresh Loose Cannon that is currently available, that is my #1 go-to beer right now. Also enjoying Lagunitas Little Sumpin Sumpin Ale, also very fresh at my local beerery.

Starting homebrewing again this weekend too!

imo most SN beers are kinda like that, nothing amazing but always a very clean, crisp beer. their hef is awesome though.

lil sumpin sumpin is good stuff too

attempt #2 turned out decent i guess

Why did an smurf ejaculate all over your bottles?

bells 2 hearted

about to fire into a bells 25th anniversary

bells 2 hearted >

bells 2 hearted is solid

but i am spoiled and always have it available to me. for $7 I can get a 64oz growler of it filled

That is what makes it so great. It is a constant staple in their lineup and outside of hopslam is probably their best beer

The oracle is the best beer they make and I nearly pooped my panties when they re-released it this year.

nah idiot, 2 hearted is better

have you had all of said beers?

in order to form an educated opinion

i didnt fucking think so

you ignorant fuck
