The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

@MadRiverTaco

 

Oooooh, I found it! The beer thread!

I brew with my BIL and a buddy of ours. 40 gallons every other month. IPAs DIPAs, Pales, trippels, quads a Heff, a Belgian White and Scotch Ale. We also do a party gyle each brew session. Sitting on some scotch ale in carboys right now, with IPA and DIPA on tap. We screw with the hop schedules every time on those two. The only recipes we have that are permanent are the Scotch Ale and the Pale Ale.

I'm also here:

I can get my hands on Heady Topper pretty easily throughout the week and I’m 30 minutes away from the brewery if all else fails. It does manage to sell out quick wherever they deliver. I wouldn’t mind helping out fellow TW members and making a little extra cash on the side on my free time.

I guess I’d need to do a bit of research on the shipping aspect of it all and flying under the radar...

 

Welcome.

 

Had a feeling you would be able to help. Thanks Brenden

 

If you can make it work, I'd really appreciate it. Shipping beer via USPS is a no-go, but UPS/FedEx are fine. Don't get me wrong, they both say they don't allow it, but at least you're not breaking any laws. I've shipped beer a few times via UPS and have not had any issues. You just need to pack it well and if anybody asks what the contents are, just say "yeast samples."

 

Good to know, thanks. I’ll PM you to coordinate further once I plan this out some. But you’re at the top of the list for sure.

Anyone else who’s interested in VT craft brews, please PM me with what you’re looking for. I’m 10 minutes away from the Craft Beer Cellar in Waterbury, VT so I can likely get what you’re asking for...just may take a little longer for the rare ones or those with a one 4-pack limit per customer.

 

Thanks, man!

 

Or "foaming soap"

 

Drove past the Two Roads Brewery yesterday in Stratford, CT. I’m working out of Bridgeport for the next few months at least so I’m going to try and get in there one of these nights

 

Shipping beer is easy. Especially cans. You just don't say you're shipping beer. I ship via usps flat rate box and it arrives in two days.

You can one hundred percent ship via usps. I've been shipping exclusively with them for the last 7 months via flat rate boxes. You can't beat the time or price. $13 or $15 for a flat rate medium box gets there in 2 days. Can hold anywhere from 1-6 tall boys.

You're breaking laws regardless which service you use. You can't legally ship without a license.

 

The blueberry cobbler is pretty good. One of the local bars had it on tap for a while and would do a blend with a cider and call it blueberry pie. It was super good, but too sweet for anything more than a glass. I’m super excited for the “last Buffalo in the Park”. It’s a barrel aged version of last snow. So it should be fantastic.

 

I'm on the other side of Bilgeport.

 

Where at? Trying to find a hotel to stay at during the weekdays cause it’s a two hourish commute for me. Stayed in Milford the other night

 

I'm in Fairfield.

 

Oh ok that’s where the office is and my show up for work is in Bridgeport

 

Can release today at my local spot, they have only been open about a year and pumping out the goodness.



Plus I stepped up my dry storage, no more slumming it in a box. Now time to fill her up.

 

Much win here!

 

Hate to burst your bubble, but you don't want to store beer on its side like you do wine

 

Finally trying it!
