Sweet...thx phoenix! Looking forward to em'!

Frozenphoenix hit me with 2 4 pack of 16 oz Surly Furious IPAs. Awesome Joe, thanks very much for these bro. I'll hit you with the DC of my return volley when it's in the air.

Can't wait to crack one of these...Will see if i can make it to the weekend.

Wife wants some beer for beer trades. So if you're looking to trade beer for beer, I have several bombers and a small handful of 12oz bottles left. Beer for beer trades only - I send you a local non-distributed beer or two and you send me one or two in return. Wifey don't smoke, but she loves beer almost as much as I.

Chazbo, got them today! I look forward to tasting them all as they are all new to me.

2x DFH World Wide Stout!!!!
1x DFH Olde School barley wine 15%!!!!!!!
1x DFH Miles Davis' Bitches Brew!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much for your efforts sir, now PM me with what you'd like in return.

MMmmmmm, can't wait til this weekend 🍺

Anyone from the pacific northwest get me some:

Snipes Mountain Terror in the Wood?

Couple boxes left NWIN today.

Zombie Dust guys - gonna be a bit. Brewery is sold out at the moment. Shipped what I had, will box n ship when I get more.

I live in WA Dan and I've never even heard of this brewery (Snipes Mountain) nor seen any of their beers in the store. Not sure if they make it out of the local market (Yakima) other than to maybe Seattle. I'll keep my eye out for ya though...although the 1st few reviews of it on BA don't sound promising.

Thanks Kyle, I hadn't read any reviews, but the aged in syrah barrels sounded interesting. No biggie if you can't find any, thanks for keeping an eye out though. Hope all is well with you and yours......enjoy that new youngster and try and get some sleep!

So we ignore cigar reviews but BA reviews are OK.

Can you tell I dont put a lot of stock in BA reviews?

^^^I hear ya boss, I still like to try em myself.

I use BA all the time, as well as ratebeer. I check both on every new to me beer pretty much. It's average dudes writing reviews and scoring beer. They have no agenda, so its different than reading CA reviews or some cigar blogger who happens tastes Macadamia nut and maraschino cherry in every cigar he reviews.

It doesn't always prevent me from trying stuff, but if there's enough folks who say it sucks, there's likely good reason.

KPP,

Have those Surly beers survived the week thus far?

They have Joe...I purposely avoided putting any in the fridge so they would. Tomorrow night though, at least a couple are going down!

Smart thinking there.

I saw that you had a Hop Valley Citrus Mistress the other day, and I just actually had to fly back to Eugene for work last weekend and I stay by the brewery for them in Springfield. They have some pretty tasty stuff and it helps that the bar is across the street from the hotel.

That's definitely handy....Hop Valley is definitely putting out some quality brews.

Hop drop and roll IPA from north Carolina.

Have some decent cigars for trade if you can ship a couple 4 packs to ca.
