Just get some vanilla and french press it into a bottle of BCBS. Or, find Vanilla ANTEAD. I found doing both of those tasted better than actual vanilla rye.

I wonder if you could get the something mildly similar by opening a Victory At Sea, pouring a little bit of whisky into it, recapping, and then waiting a day or two?

Adding adjuncts yourself works great but I've never had good results adding whisky to beer. I love tossing half a split bean in a bcbs for a few hours, so good.

One of my fav combos is Lompoc LSD (dark ale) + less than a half ounce of cheap whiskey. I would even say <1/8 oz. Less is definitely more.

Yeah I thought you'd have to have a very gentle touch when adding liquor to beer that way.

That's how I got to try it on draft recently.

On the east side of the state, it was a you-blink-you-miss-it kind of thing, I didn't even see it on the shelves. West Michigan is the bastion of "new money" traders, who bought it by the case and asked for ridiculous trades.

So, could someone define "New Money" for me please? I keep hearing it bandied about the trading groups on Facebook, usually by the more irritating/lovely traders. It sounds like a pedantic, exclusionary thing to call somebody.

These are the doofuses lined up outside Forest & Main for 2 hours before they open. Meanwhile I'm sitting on my couch planning on picking up bottles 3 days after the release because that's how it always works (except for Marius). Also, these are the people who recently posted "How early do I have to get in line at Monk's for Zwanze Day?" in a local beer group.

The fewer people who know about a release through BA, the better. It's going to be a sad day when Forest & Main starts getting hyped. Really underappreciated - their saisons are more consistent than Tired Hands, and I'd put them right up there with other farmhouse breweries in the US.

Back on topic, here's a good example of #newmoney from a local (loving Philly) beer group:quote:I'm trying to decide how many bottles of AleSmith's Reforged I'm going to buy today. Is this going to be something that people are going to want to trade for? If so I am going to buy the full allotment. I have a friend in San Diego that is going to pick them up for me. quote:Get the full allotment.. chances are the site will crash like usual.. and people will be in a mad dash to trade for it.

So it's safe to say that #newmoney is a state of mind and NOT some sort of demarcation between the I-was-nursed-on-only-the-finest-Belgian-gueuze OG Beer Squad and everyone else? I'm considering removing myself from just about all the trading groups. It's so irritating looking at haul pic after haul pic and the usual thread making GBS threads from the resident neckbeards on auction postings. I've got my regular trading partners. Wouldn't mind doing a goontrade but I don't really have the ammo this thread seems to require. NJ distribution kind of sucks.

As long as we're bothering Michigoons: Since I live around a place where almost all the Planet Series was scooped up in moments, I have a feeling I won't get a sniff of Bell's 30th without a stupid amount of effort. And I'm too lazy for that poo poo. So I'm looking for a couple of sixers of it. Can provide Chicago locals and distro (we just got Almanac!), maybe something from the cellar (I'll have to update my list), etc. PM me if this is something that's possible.

We're working hard to ensure this doesn't happen anymore. We set up a brand new lab when the production facility opened and have a QA supervisor who knows his poo poo. I haven't had any off bottles in a long time but we don't pasteurize the beer and a decent amount of the beers get packaged at a low carbonation level and finish off in the bottle so there will always be some bottle variation. If you do ever get an off bottle contact us and we'll do our best to make things right.

Question on beer shipping: I have 54 bottles to move from OR to TX. They are all packed in new styro shippers, but I'm concerned about sending that much beer all at once and risking confiscation. Should I use multiple shipments over a couple days? Ship to a commercial address? Spread out the shipments among myself and some friends? Any other ideas? The boxes are marked Glass/Fragile (with actual stickers, my friend works for a glass company), but otherwise are blank.

I have had FedEx pick up 8 12-shippers from my house in one day, and I have received almost the same amount in one day. Don't take them to a shop, have them picked up. Much less scrutiny that way.

I'm back in TX already - there were some logistics issues getting the shipping boxes in time, so my friend is sending them to me. They will be picked up, that's not an issue - I'm mostly worried about someone at the distribution center getting curious. Then again, other than the drivers, I don't know how much human handling boxes go through.
