?

ive had it a few times, its p good. it also has that definitive laguinitas flavor that seemingly all of their ipas have.

yeah, thats the one

I first had it 2 years ago and I believe it has been made each year since as a seasonal. Is the seasonal availability what makes it limited? Its widely distributed, still sittin on the shelves here from last year.

Its cool to try it once to say ya have but I probably wouldnt buy it again.

yeah, it runs out of stock for most of the year here, so i figure its a seasonal

Joe,
Your box is getting put together tonight. I rounded up a couple things i think you will enjoy.

Im debating adding some home brew. Have you had anything that was aged in my apple brandy barrels?

Give him the barley wine!

no, unless you did a quad once but i seem to remember the quad being aged on oak?

correct, that was before i owed oak barrels

in a 1-liter growler. only if he drinks the whole thing on vent and someone records it

Oh mother of god yes

@ any DC brewers

any of you into making girlyish fruit beers?? my wife is a big fan of fruli (http://www.fruli.be/) and i was looking to try to get her something new and different as a gift. you will be compensated handsomely

abv of barleywine?

lots

I can and have done this in the past for my wife and her friends. Im clearly proud, I took a keg of it to a charity event to raise funds for cancer research. I had a group of girls freaking out over my "pink beer." In all honesty though, I have too many things in the works to be able to brew anything like this anytime soon.

the iced version is between 25 and 27%
the normal version is just shy of 15

your level of intoxcation would be similar to sitting down and chugging a darklord
the alcohol in both my barleywine and olde ale is seemingly absent due to the malt backing that hides it

Had a Stone RIS from the cellar. The range of flavors is exceptional - it seems like they did a full range of light through dark roasts of the malt, leaving a bit of each in. The range that appears from touching the tongue and through savoring is great. I think this bottle (three years in?) is the best so far. The bitter chocolate and hops still find their ways into the taste too. Wow.

This is ready to roll out but I have reservations about it sitting on a truck/warehouse over the weekend if I drop it off tomorrow. So with that said, it will be moving monday at 7 a.m. and hopefully in your hands by friday/saturday next week.

its 5 days to me (fedex and ups are the same), so no matter what day you ship it will always deliver the following week

the difference would be if I ship tomorrow, it would spend an extra day over the weekend sitting somewhere in the heat. instead, I will wait until monday to drop it off that way it gets to you on friday

i know it seems trivial but the whole extra day in transit bothers me for some reason. call me silly

im saying it wont get to me on friday, its 5 days across country. the day you drop it off does clearly count.

This makes no sense. I have a guy I trade with frequently in SD and it takes 4 days. If I drop off on monday, he gets it thursday. A dropoff on tuesday is delivery on friday/saturday.

What can I do this time around to prevent a failed delivery attempt to your place?

who do you use to go to him and what method? ups/fedex is always 5 days from me to anywhere midwest/east coast through work whenst shipping standard. i have no idea how you ship it via 3 day without paying for 3 day service?

Fedex Ground/Home delivery
Monday to Thursday is 4 days? I dont do 3 day service.
I drop off when fedex opens at 7;30 a.m., it arrives on Thursday afternoon in sunny SD.

of every shipment you have sent me its been 5 days, and every shipment at work through 12 years has been 5 days. i think you have just been lucky. every shipment you send me has always been 5 days.
try dropping off on monday again, maybe you skirt a day by dropping off and its close to the terminal for a day to be cut off

rodger that

i repeated myself, and for that im truley sorry for your lots
