RE: simple question

Other great hoppy beers are Summit IPA, Goose Island IPA and Bell's Two Hearted Ale. The Goose Island has a distinctive floral hoppiness that I really like. -----Original Message----- From: Kirby Richter Sent: Fri 3/28/2003 9:55 AM To: Bruce.Butler(a)colorspan.com; CalVH(a)aol.com; mba(a)thebarn.com Cc: Subject: RE: simple question Rogue Brutal Bitter from Oregon is another great, very hoppy beer! -----Original Message----- From: Bruce.Butler(a)colorspan.com [mailto:Bruce.Butler@colorspan.com] Sent: Fri 3/28/2003 8:20 AM To: CalVH(a)aol.com; mba(a)thebarn.com Cc: Subject: Re: simple question If you can get ahold of an Arrogant Bastard Ale from Stone Brewery, you will have one of the hoppiest ales in America.

simple question

by CalVH＠aol.com

Hi, I've been listing to your conversations, but am not a home brewer(yet probably). Swalley has met me and turned me onto the website; I'm sure I'll show up to a meeting some time soon. Here's the simple question. I've read how many of you send beer for contests. I'm sending a six pack of beer or so to a friend I made at 't Arendsnest in Amsterdam. Does anyone have any recommendations for packing and/or sending the beer cheaply/safely? The beers I'm sending are American examples of high hop beer(compared to Dutch beer). My list so far is Stone Ruination IPA, Victory Hop Devil, Summit Pale Ale(and IPA?), Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and Redhook ESB for a good selection across the country, as well as the Summit as a Minnesota beer. There may be room for one or two others too. I thought someone would have an opinon on my list as well. Thanks for any help. If anyone needs directions to my favorite pub in the world('t Arendsnest) or advice how to drink Dutch in Amsterdam, let me know. Thanks, Cal Vande Hoef
