Distribution has reached Birmingham. We're so damn lucky. Haven't seen Vert yet, but have everything else. 

Vert is usually a winter release. I really hope DDH GITM hits distro.

I can put together a Parish-Care’ish package to keep your wife in good standing...?

Yeah man, I think I might be ready to take you up on that. I can actually procure some decent stuff now that you might not get over your way.

I can definitely hook you up. It’ll be a bit IPA heavy...but it’ll be good...real good.

IPAs are probably what I'll have the most access to.

Do you get Hubbard's Cave?

I’m good with that!

We don’t get Hubvard’s Cave here.

Right on.

I'll do some looking around and then hit you on the PM-o-phone.

Carrying incense to re align your chakras?

I let Mrs. Loof handle a beer run for me. She came back with 3 different sixers, and Jai Alai was one of them. She earned a solemn nod of approval.

Can't believe I haven't seen this forum before.  This is my current favorite, although I think I bought my local store out of it.  ;(

Love Scotty Karate and their blueberry stout.

Oh, and @johnnyAU, welcome! This is a safe and happy respite from the madness.

I'm also a fan of these two, and most anything by Stone, Founders and Oskar Blues.  

Dogfish Head 120 min IPA is pretty good too, but you have to be careful with it. It'll sneak up on you at 15-20% ABV.

Props to the Wiseacre choice.

Our store barrel of 1792 Full Proof is beautiful. Hands down, one of our best barrel picks ever, and arguably one of the best bottles of bourbon I’ve had. 

Other barrel picks we have on hand right now:

Four Roses Single Barrel 35% rye mash

Buffalo Trace(our 54th barrel)

Old Forrester. Pretty meh on this one, but my coworkers seem to enjoy it. 

Woodford Reserve

Woodford Dbl Oaked 

On the way:

Elijah Craig 9 and 14 year single barrel

Blanton’s

Weller 107 Antique

Will have to seek this one out. Obviously won't be getting your barrel pick but I'm guessing that if yours is that good then whatever I can get my hands on won't suck.

Dammit...sorry about that. It was a long, unusual day.

On the left, Man at Arms DIPA. This is a departure from their base DIPA. More of a tropical note. Mango is strong. Moderate bitterness and mouthfeel.

On the right, their unnamed farmhouse saison. Freaking delicious. I am a fan of farmhouse ales, and this one didn’t disappoint, esp at 7.5%.

 

*ETA This was all at Flying Tiger brewery. Solid as all get out beer. Actually went in to try their BBA porter...but it was gone. Poop.

Gracias. And a brewery name would be nice 👍
