What's your favorite Beer?

[jdl1279]

Emcee,

I second your brew choice. Hope whoever gets it enjoys!

HopSlam! is legendary, almost as good as Pliny the Elder and 3 Floyds Dreadnaught.

If only there was an easy, cheap way of exchanging beers, emcee 

[jdl1279]

Good to see folks enjoying stuff from our little hole

@Seul:

I would be open to a brew exchange, ie a rotation of participants where once a month you might get a beer from a random participant.

[Seul]

Cheapest shipping method for one (1!) reg bottle of beer to the US is 13 €. No can do…

[jdl1279]

I am not talking about shipping to every participant, just one from rotation once a month. I could sacrifice a single plus cost of shipping once a month to get something exotic at random.

Not a lot in stock @Geers… Just picked up some regulars...

I just looked into this, and can't seem to get this in Montana. I'd be into doing an exchange with you, I live in bc, Canada, but am 20min from the Montana border and there is a shipping company to get stuff sent to there for pickup.  I'm a big ipa fan and would really love to check this out.  We have lots of great ipa's in bc if you want to trade styles straight up. Driftwood fat tug and central city red racer being my highest recommendations.  Let me know

@emceeQ:

I thoroughly enjoyed that one G…

and for anyone that may be interested, I'll be getting and six pack or two of Bell's Hopslam on Friday. I'd be more than happy to spread the love and send a bottle or two of what I end up getting to anyone that might want some.  All I'd ask is for some beer/cider/random interesting piece of junk in return...

[jdl1279]

Dan,

If Emcee isn't game, I could work a trade with you. Bells is local for me too, so it's pretty easy to come by. Something Canadian or even from big sky country would suit this cold ass climate well.

[mclaincausey]

If anyone has access to Three Floyd's Dreadnaught, Russian River Blind Pig, Pliny the Elder, or any of their sours, I will trade aggressively for it. This includes Hopslam, which usually saturates my market.

[DanielAFC]

Sounds good jdl

[jdl1279]

Dan,

PM'd

Mclain,

Will take a peak at Meg Bev when I go tomorrow or the next day. Hopslam is abundant here too, but something local for you could work for me, even if geographically there are less miles between us than others.

[mclaincausey]

Rush River Double Bubble is a good Hopslam! Alternative and way cheaper too.

[jdl1279]

Can honestly say I have never tried that one, but without guidance or prior knowledge, I am leery of a lot of IPAs. Some get a bit too citrusy for me and I don't care for licking grapefruit. Looking at Rush River this doesn't look too bad though. My usual favorites tend to be on the dark side too, which is another reason I would have chosen other things over this first. Will PM you if I have any luck with your request, hope I do, as I like seeing where brew tastes compare.

[mclaincausey]

It's definitely a west coast style citrus hop bomb so it might not work. They're from Western WI so possibly in your market

[jdl1279]

Make you a deal, I will throw down on one of your requests, as well as something from my vocabulary, and forward one of each, if you'll send me one of these (I'll try almost anything) and maybe something a bit darker from your neck of the woods (Unforgiven, Winter Ale, Lyndale, and Lost Arrow are looking good). If either of us is interested in more trades, or just a pickup for the other, we'll at least have a better first hand knowledge of tastes.

[jdl1279]

Or we could do a mixed 6, either way is fine by me.

[jdl1279]

McClain,

PM'd a link for where I'll be picking up

Dan,

When you're ready I'll forward it to you

[Seul]

^I'm starting to really like this guy
