It can be overwhelming to say the least, and sometimes (ok most of the time) it gets out of control.

But yeah, TM7, ware, and possibly simon are out. Not exactly sure about each of them, but a couple are from positive drug testings.

Specs (the one in Austin at least) was quite nice - hard to imagine anything beating it on selection.

If any of you would just let me know when you have a little extra cargo room on your way back, shoot me an email me (dghatx gmail) or bump this thread, I'd be eternally grateful. I can certainly let y'all know when I can return the favor.

BMoney or any one else, email me if you want me to spread the word to y'all if I hear of plans.

Cool! I used to live in Western Nebraska...about 1.5 hours from NBB in Fort Collins.

I would kill for 5 folly packs (NBB's variety 12 pack) and a few 4-packs of some DFH 90 min IPA. If no folly packs, my favorites of the bunch are 1554, Ranger and Fat Tire.

Email me (dghatx <at> gmail dot com) when you want to arrange an exchange!

Are you headed to the other side of the state (Lincoln, Omaha)?

Thanks!!


ETA: looks like DFH isn't in NE. Man, must be nice to be able to be so independent!

Making a pheasant hunt in the south west... When I came out of NY a couple of weeks ago, the dfh was in short supply. The place I bought beer said that they were having trouble getting it in most of the time shorted by 75% per order. The store had no 90 or 120 bait did have some 60 and a few other varieties. I did pick my buddy up some a beer made by DFH and Sierra in a large bottle that he said was incredible.

I will touch base as time gets closer...

delta, these are easily obtainable online. You might need to research the best shipping, but these are always obtainable.

It's very good. I got three extras to cellar. At least two will be saved for my 6month olds 21st birthday...maybe 18th

I was gonna reply to you in the wine thread. How in the hell can you afford keeping up with wine and beer? I've got a decent paying job and can't keep up with my beer habit.

I should, but absolutely cannot do this. If I know it's there, I'm gonna drink it.

Thanks...I think I'll try that for odd-ball singles I'd like to find. But when it comes to my every-day beer, I'd go broke quick paying the shipping costs I've found.

I don't buy wine, that's what my FIL is for . He has a huge cellar and hates drinking by himself. Every now and then we take a few bottles back home with us.

I usually spend about $150/month on beer. That doesn't include bar tabs, but I rarely make it out anymore with a 6 month old. Drinking at home does have its perks, like cheaper beer.

If only the beer we were drinking at home was cheaper than the beer at the bar. The only thing different for me is the tip that I do not have to pay. But then again I get suckered into doing house work by the wife if people are coming over. So maybe that is some form of tip.

Would it be illegal to turn Houston beer runs into a semi lucrative side job?

With gas costs, it's anything but semi lucrative.
