attempted this in the B9 beer thread but the people there are a touch flakey and it never materialized. not to mention for some reason my PW doesn't
work there any longer for some reason.
figured I'd try here.
Can easily get all kinds of midwest stuff like Three Floyds, Bells, Founders, Tyranena, Great lakes etc.JawnDiablo - 7-7-2009 at 08:48 AM
I just did a beer swap at work on Thursday.
24 people grab a case, and meet in a parking lot and all take one of each, as wel as a score card.
It's the only good thing I've gotten out of this job in 10 years...Jason the Magnificent - 7-7-2009 at 08:48 AM
That is pretty cool as long as some butthole doesn't show up with BCM beers.JawnDiablo - 7-7-2009 at 08:50 AM
some douche brang a case of lionshead and some broad brang fruit beer.
they received instant disapproval.
other than that id say I got 18 good onesJason the Magnificent - 7-7-2009 at 09:31 AM
Apparently Russian River Brewing (Pliny's brewer) has distribution in Philly also?
The catch though is the bottles date MUST be a month old TOPS. It's a very hoppy double IPA and is best fresh or cellared. Fresh you need it within
about 6 weeks of the bottled date...if not you're best to cellar it for a year and wait for it to smooth out.JawnDiablo - 7-7-2009 at 10:33 AM
never heard of it but i'm gonna try and remember to check it out if i see itnewbreedbrian - 7-7-2009 at 10:33 AM
i've heard it's pretty good, though i've never tried it myself. just got myself a stout soaked cardboard box in a trade last week. unimpressed? very
much so.Jason the Magnificent - 7-7-2009 at 10:36 AM
Sounds like a bad packing job? Did they bubble wrap the bottles? The PO could break a piece of paper...I'd never trust them with full bottles unless
they were wrapped above and beyond.
...and yeah Pliny is consistently rated in the top 5 beers in the world.Dave - 7-7-2009 at 10:44 AM
if only more thorpers were in canada, to set up some trades....clevohardcore - 7-7-2009 at 11:50 AM
I am up for it. This is a good idea. How do we ship it? I want in on this. newbreedbrian - 7-7-2009 at 11:55 AM
yeah, no bubble wrap. he stuffed some newspaper and plastic bags. my (fully bubble wrapped and tightly packed of course) package got to him no
problem. ah well, he felt bad and is gonna resend them which is ok. jason, you should try the trading forum on beeradvocate. with the stuff you have
access to as trade bait you should have no problem finding some pliny. now pliny the younger might be a little more difficult.Discipline - 7-7-2009 at 01:17 PM

Yes, but the American west coast IPA's annihilate the traditional style. It's like filet mignon and ground chuck.JawnDiablo - 7-7-2009 at 09:01 PM
