Never heard of Noda & I'm only an hour north of there.

Don't get me wrong, I like to read what others say about a brew. It's always while I'm drinking it, has no effect on any purchase.

BA gave Rogue Voodoo Dougbut a '66'....I still bought a bottle. I couldn't even finish a glass & poured the rest of the swill down the drain. Worst beer I've ever had. The reviews were accurate. Again it's not a hard & fast rule for me to avoid lower scored beers, but lets just say I pay a lot more attention now than I did before.

And if you're already drinking it while you're reading about it Greg...how do you know about the ones you're missing out on or don't have access to?? 😉

I can't seem to get around to all the ones I do have access to.

You're correct on the Rogue voodoo Kyle, but I buy one every year. I did finish it. You've obviously never tried Schaeffer (sp?).

This one?

If so, nope, never. If the beers not hoppy, chances are I'm not drinking it. I'm stuck in a rut..

That's the stuff. Horrid.

I'm in an imperial stout rut myself.

^ I was on one of those in 2012....then a buddy and me tried 'Stout night' on New Years. Drank nothing but Russian Imperials. The good'ens that are all 10+ ABV. Worst mistake ever. Ungodly hangover, vomiting etc. Ruined me on em' even still. My remaining stash of em is aging nicely though..lol.

Kyle, I hear ya on the IPA rut......but I've been in it SO long that I'm going back to Imperial Stouts, Porters, and really enjoyed a few Imperial Pumpkins earlier in the fall. I guess I'm in an Imperial rut right now.

Greg,

I've got a couple cigars and a stout or two for you if you end up with some of those noda IPAs you don't mind shipping...

Dan,

Same goes to you if you want to trade some el cumbre elevated ipa cans.

Something very appealing to me about IPA in tall boy cans...

Dunno if I'm reading this right. You have el cumbre elevated ipa and want to trade? Or you want el cumbre elevated ipa?

I've never heard of it, so can't offer it in trade.

If you have it, and think it to be tasty, I'm willing to trade some local hop bombs.

There's some semi-local canned IPA's from Indiana I can pick up next time I'm down in Indy. The four local breweries by me only bottle.

Kimon, I will look around and see what I can find......we do get some beer from NM up here from time to time. Many good CO beer to be had as well.......believe we have over 200 breweries now.

danmdevries came through in a big way -- got a bomber of Panzer Wolf, which I've been dying to try, and a bottle of something called Blakkr, which is a black IPA collaboration between 3F and Surly. This is awesome, Dan, can't wait to pop these open.

I'm gonna try to have something out to you tomorrow, but if not then Monday.

Honey Brown. Can't find it in mississippi. Haven't had one in awhile.

I'll check around Kimon.

Just picked up one of these today -- if you like I'll send it your way. PM me.

EDIT: Oh, I see that GhostTown might have hooked you up. Well, let me know -- the offer stands.

Great thread. Gonna make a list soon...

Plowboy - thanks loads! Will enjoy!

Hey DBIII -- your inbox is full. PM me your addy, too.

Oooops.....

Still got a couple of you hanging, just wanted to post an update.

Brewery still out of Zombie Dust.

Will continue to check every couple days until I can send you some.

Brewdog’s The End Of History. I mainly want the bottle
