No worries Joe, I scored plenty of them so there's absolutely no rush at this point. They are just sitting in the basement now. As far as shipping goes, I can originate shipping myself via UPS or FedEx, but if you already have an account with a commercial address, I'm sure it would be cheaper for you to email me the label from your end. Either way, we'll get your w00t on.

Had a pretty decent beer weekend
Saturday, the Flying Saucer had a Sour Day event. The Big Boss "Sunday Punch", and the North Coast "Cherry Berlinner" were both perfect Saturday brews. Light and refreshing, though I did break up the sour taste with a Big Boss "Night Knight" Black IPA.
Yesterday I had DeStihl's "Sour Cherry Stout" on draft. I want a keg of this at home. So very good! I also took a sneak taste of my 3.5 year old lambic, which I think is ready to be fruited and bottled.

Tried Ballast point Sculpin IPA; not bad but far from my favorite Dogfish Head 90. Interestingly, the clone recipes I found for each have a couple of the same hops; I'm going to have to look in more detail to see why they taste so different to me. The Sculpin seems to have more bittering hops vs aromatic in the 90, though I am easily way off considering the brief review of recipes.

Incidentally, I found them today at Costco for $6.99 ea., so I just got another case there and promptly returned all the bottles I bought last night at BevMo for $11.99 ea. (in spite of the BevMo clerk trying to tell me that you can't return alcohol. Pffff!
).

No ****?
When I lived in SD, you had to go to the brewery to get W00tstout 1.0 - Not even the local specialty shops had it. I didn't realize they'd ramped up production so much.

Heavy Seas TropiCannon Tropical IPA - Never had anything like it. Aromas of the citrus-y hops blend with fruity vapors but aren't but a touch sweet because of the hoppy bitterness keeping it in check. A truly unique and surprising experience.
TropiCannon clocks in at 7.25% & packs a full blast of blood orange, grapefruit, mango and lemon flavor. We've amped up the citrus with fAmarillo and Simcoe hops. We've introduced dried grapefruit, orange and lemon peel in the brewing process and added mango, blood orange and more grapefruit post-fermentation.

Well, truth be told, the Costco near me (Concord) is pretty phenomenal with the stuff they come up with. I think the local buyer is an enthusiast him/herself, and I doubt it is the norm across all stores. In contrast, I actually had to call 4 or 5 Bevmo stores in the area until I found one that carried it last night. Regardless, I'm quite sure the production has indeed ramped up significantly on this year's w00t due to its ever increasing popularity/demand alone.

Edit: Or I can trade it for an unusual local brew if you like. Straight to Ale, Blue Pants, Salty Nut, and some of the others all have some stellar beers.

My best friend lives in Seattle and is flying down this weekend for business, so he's bringing me a whole bunch of Melvin IPAs and 2x4 DIPAs. I can't get them in CA and their single IPA is the best I've ever had, Pliny the Elder included. Super excited.

Reminds me of this. About halfway through the Black Tuesday things got a bit blurry.
