Man I'm jealous: I've heard about that beer for years and never had a chance to try it.

How did you get it shipped to your house?

USPS works well

Well now you have me curious... Did you somehow order online or do you know someone out there that can ship it to you?

 

[lt1fire]

You can't order it online from anywhere ive seen. Wish you could.

The secret may be Beeradvocate.com. hey have a trading section, and being in NC you have access to some great craft brews to trade.

Or, chat with the guys at TB. They may know an alternative.

Not bad. 8.7% alc. Brewed 15 mins from where I'm drinking it

I always wonder whether or not to classify brew like that as local.

True its brewed in NC in Brevard now that they opened their 2nd brewery there but it was conceived and brewed originally and still brewed at their home brewery in Longmont CO.

Kinda of like do you call a Nissan Altima an American car because it is made in TN or is is still an asian car since it was developed in Japan. Either way its a great brewery and a great beer.

Heres a pic I snapped at their home brewery in Longmont back in April

I'll have another shot of the brewery in Brevard at the begining of September.

Great Divide 19th anniversary ale is out. Excellent old ale, good price point, and good abv.

Will let you know. Green Bullet is good but different from anything I've ever had so it took 6 oz or so before I locked in on what I was tasting. It is apparently a hard get.

Palette Wrecker is real nice. About as bitter as I've ever had, and that's pretty bitter. Still smooth, with a tiny bit of floral and citrus. Just right IMO. Not for mass consumption, but DAMN good!

Yeah noda brewery great place. Great couple that owns it. 1st brewery in noda there are now 3 with a fourth opening up early next year. Their coco loco and ghost hop is great also.

 

[shellb]

Last nights haul. Had 2 of each... pretty much just a sampling of good old CO beer. Good night in all.

2 - 22oz Fresh Hop from Great Divide

APA
%6.1
A great unfiltered beer, best APA ever hands down.

2 -22oz Oak Aged Yeti from Great Divide

Imperial Stout
%9.5

Not the best IS i've ever had but damn close

2 - 12oz White Rascal by Avery


Witbier
%5.6

One of my favorite "white" beers out there. Just all around tasty

2 - 22oz Nineteen anniversary Ale from Avery

Tripel

8.23%

Not really my bag.... not bad but a little on the sweet side for a tripel

1 - 12oz Golden Monkey from Victory (sorry my pic didn't come out so stole one from BA)

Tripel

9.5%

Not bad...... still think craft brews in the US have lots of catching up to do in the Tripel realm.

That was in the Evening..... during the day at the White Water Center Andrea and I had some Stone 17th Anniversary IPA.... 9.5% and shows why stone is still the king of great IPAs

All in all a great beer day consumed 190oz total consumed.

Needed a good relaxing day like that. Nice that we decided to not tear up the carpets and just get them cleaned and patched instead. Gave us a day of relaxation.

Oh yeah I forgot about this pic.... Kenny and Lydia came through town a few weeks back and we went out for some Mexican food.

I forced him to actually have one of the 36oz ones. And he did finish it all...... barely

 

[custyota]

Drinking Heroes Never Die Ipa from Beer Army. Not bad. I will bring some to the barn

 

[shellb]

One of the most interesting beers I've had!

Plus it is always cool when your name is on the bottle (also when your cruiser is too...seems so long ago!)

 

[JohnVee]

I can report that a garage kept Stella Artois with drink by date of 10/07/12 tastes just a wee bit off on 12/24/13.

But this one is great!

Pacifico break on Christmas Eve.

Just about to finish up the Christmas prep...

Merry Christmas to all you ONSC folks!
