Looking forward to these two GBS set exclusives -

🎉 Fluffy GBS, 9.2% ABV, Gingerbread Stout with toasted marshmallows. Brewery Release Only!
🎉 Christmas Island, 11.5% ABV, Gingerbread Stout with toasted coconut aged 15 months in Caribbean Rum barrels. Brewery Release Only!

I liked Fluffy a lot last year. Delighted to hear it's included again. I can't even remember about the Christmas Island. Was that in the 2019 Complete Set? I still have 5 or 6 left .

Geez, Rhinegeist Truth is the only beer on the list that prevented being 0 for 25. That’s better than Steward and Moore 🤣 (too soon?).

Glad you've had Truth. Now, if only there was Knowledge...

Bingo Beer - Lager, Blonde and Monumental Serve (sour)

Basic City had no outdoor seating. Veil had no heaters. Hardywood had (1) heater and there was a crowd around it. Starr Hill shut down their rooftop with the heaters. Even Three Notch'd had nothing outside.

So the last place along the way to get back to the expressway to go home was - Bingo Beer.

Wonderful outdoor space with 6 or 7 fire tables and lots more propane heaters. They know what they are doing.

Enjoyed the Lager, I've had it multiple times, it's a top ten beer here in Richmond. Easy Cat 3 if you like Lagers. Much more flavor than most mass produced stuff.

Blonde was delightful, some spiciness, just enough to make it not boring. Easy Cat 2, upper?

Monumental Serve Sour was not the best I've had. Still maybe a lower Cat 2. Hint of Rose'? Touch of Reisling? That's what it seemed to be going for. Not bad.

A good source informs me of a new, delicious-sounding Haw River ale available today...

Yes, I’ll take a 4-pack. Took a pass on this one on my last Stella run, and have been thinking it was a mistake.

Expecting it to arrive later today. You might see it before the end of the weekend.

ME! ME! ME!

If you want Accfanfrom1970 and me to split one, that's fine. If not, I'll take a 4-pack.

Seeing the responses above, I didn't think you'd have much trouble getting rid of the last couple 4 packs .

All caps and exclamation points-I think I finally understand your screen name.

Right now, the case is allocated by 4 pack:

1-fuse
2-rj
3-dd
4-dd
5-tw
6- nrrrvous

Kind of excited as I am anticipating this will basically be a heavy fruited version of their torn paper leaves series, which have been phenomenal.

If accfan wants his own 4 pack, I'll happily relinquish my second one; I am not greedy. Name it and claim it!!

I’m okay, I have a bunch of veil, ardent and hardywood in the fridge, plus the traders coming up. The budget has been blown.
