Am I protesting too much?

A touch.

One from Moline, IL.

Hop, I noticed you're able to get 3 Floyds. We can't get them in Atlanta. I've really been dying to try the zombie dust. You had that?

I did a trade with a guy in the Chicago area to get that. Haven't had the ZD yet but he's going to get me some in trade for a bottle of Blackstone Black Belle and Barista Brew. Just waiting on him to let me know when he has it.

I need to get into that trade business. I have a sister in Asheville, so I can get stuff from there all the time, and I'm somewhat buddies with the the guys from Calf Killer. Trouble is they aren't bottling yet, and last time I asked, they could not sell growlers out of the brewery.

I think your right about Calfkiller. I've met Alex from there and our home brew club is planning a trip there this spring.

I trade a ton and I live in Selmer, TN. Trust me, it's hard to start, but gets addicting. Pretty expensive too.

I don't know him, but used to hangout with Don and Dave a LONG time ago, back when they were in The Features.

I can imagine. Good brew here is hard to come by, but it is getting much better. Problem is that we have a lack of the hard to get stuff.

I just picked up a 48 pack of Kirkland Light Beer from Costco today for $21.99 for the hckl of it. Never tried it before. Pray for me this weekend

Anyone tried Shock Top's Pretzel Wheat that comes in their winter seasonal variety pack? I'm not a fan of wheat beer normally but that stuff has got to be the most unique taste I've ever come across in a beer. It tastes so much like a soft pretzel that you could damn near salt the rim of your glass. Only problem is that my girlfriend is not much of a beer drinker but LOVES this stuff. So I tend to let her have all three which leaves me with 9 Shock Tops of different varieties that I don't care for.. The things you do for a woman.

Anyway, just thought I would throw this out there in case anyone is interested. You won't be able to get them once the winter seasonal variety packs are gone!!

Hopvol...you'll have a blast out at Calfkiller. Took the Brewbus trip there awhile back and was a real hoot. Smoked hops out of a pot pipe. Yep.

Lol, watch the brew crew page for a date or holler at Art if you want to go. All I know now is sometime this spring.

Thanks! I need to get on there and poke around, and figure how to use that site.

I'd really like to try something from Wicked Weed, Jester King, and Side Project.

Tried my first lambic a few weeks ago; loved it.

What kind was it? I love a good lambic.

Have you tried Delirium Red? It reminded me of a Kriek a bit. I'd take it over New Belgium's Transatlantique.

I have not. I need to make a run this weekend.

Seconded. Always worth taking about a half day in Asheville to park there.

Anyone tried the grapefruit sculpin ipa from ballast point? Picked one up last night and am going to do a side by side with the Abita grapefruit ipa.

No I havent but I like just about anything Ballast puts out so in sute it's good. Regular Sculpin is great and they also have Jabanero Sculpin now

I saw that. Any jalapeño or habanero beer I've had starts out great, but half way through, I want to throw it out. It is like censory overload. Maybe it is more subdued with ballasts version.
