Feeling the growl again

    I'm ashamed to admit I currently have no beer in the house. I drank it all. Got any more Abita, spaniel? I really need to get over there for a refill. I do still have wine in the house, so it's not all bad.

     

    I have a crapload....I think.  Having one now.  FUCK, after this morning I need a few.  

     

    Come get some Wednesday.  PLEASE.

      Not sure when I can get over there. Evenings have been pretty busy. The wife's van has been in and out of the shop. Maybe Friday or Saturday.

          The Abita has broken me.  My body rebelled and I was physicaly unable to drink it last night.  Let's hope I recover, the inability to drink beer would be a tragic turn of events.

            That's the problem of having a bunch of any one thing, and one of the reasons that I haven't pursued a keg system.  Dude, go out and buy yourself a variety pack of some good craft beer and have at it.  You'll see a 20% improvement in your beer consumption.  Heh.

            Not at it at all.

                Me too.

                 

                The problem was not the kegerator, but a half barrel combined with being too busy to have people over to help me with it.  I am going to stick with 1/8ths in the future and the world will be a happy place.

                  New Belgium brews some good beer.  Sadly, the closest place for me to get it is North Carolina.  Well, I have a buddy that was visited Florida and he was kind enough to stop at the beer store on the way home.  This is what he got for me....

                  Hoptober

                   

                  22 oz bottles from the Lips of Faith series

                  2 Super Cru

                   

                  This pleases me.

                        You got that right!  New Belgium is probably my most favorite brewery.  Spaniel, if you're looking for a spring marathon, train up and go do the Colorado marathon in Ft Collins.  You can knock out two things in one trip...run a good marathon in cooler temps and lower humidity and you can go back to the hicks with all the New Belgium beer that you can fit in your car.  Just please don't pack them around the kids...that may not look good as you drive home.

                           I need to look harder.  If I can I would.

                           

                          Need to talk to C-R, he is closer to better beer stores....if not, I'm going to be in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana next month...

                            New Belgium's website let's you search for places where you can find their beers. You can choose different distances (one is actually the marathon distance). I did a quick search for Hickville, In and there was one place nearby. That's if I got the right Hicksville. Are you near I74 and Rt39 (state st.)? If so, there is a JR Beverage Mart that says they carry some NB brews. It's a guess but you can look on there website.
                              Yeah thanks. I was going to ride the bike on the trainer tonight after I put the peeps to bed but after looking at this and looking at NB's website, I opened up a beer instead. I'm either weak or it goes to show you how much I like biking on the trainer.

                                I used the beer finder before traveling to SC earlier this year.  It was somewhat helpful.  It was cumbersome when I went to look for just a specific beer, such as ones in the Lips of Faith series.  So what I did is fill in the contact form that they had on their site.  A sales rep got back to me and was very helpful.

                                 

                                What he told me, and this held true, is that you can find Fat Tire and maybe one other beer just about anywhere, but if you want the less common stuff and Lips of Faith beers you'll only find those near the bigger cities.  I bought my stuff at a big beer store in Columbia, SC.
