Alaskan Beer Porn

I love beer trading. Better yet I love beer trading buddies. Still better yet I love beer trading buddies from Alaska. I shipped out a 12 bottle styro shipper a few weeks ago filled with a mix of TX goodies and some beers I'd been saving for this particular trading buddy in AK. Today I find the same 12 bottle styro shipper returned from AK and full of this.
Midnight Sun 3767 - Collaboration brew between Midnight Sun and Ballast Point - Belgian DIPA
Drie Fonteinen Oude Gueuze 08'
Cantillon Cuvee des Champions
Ring of Fire Red Currant Reserve Mead
Ring of Fire Strawberry Rhubarb Melomel
Midnight Sun XXX- Oak Aged Black DIPA
Midnight Sun Berserker - Imperial Stout partially aged in Bourbon Oak and Cabernet Sauvignon barrels - my 3rd favorite Imperial Stout
Sweet Midnight Sun Tulip

There was one fallen soldier in this package. This styro shipper was sent to me from CA, sent to and from AK twice, and made a round trip to NY. One of the corners gave out and decided to take a brew with it.It was a tough loss. Obliteration is always a solid DIPA and I can assure you the bottom of the box smelled wonderful. My sadness quickly disappeared upon seeing the rest of the box which included not one, but...
FOUR BERSERKERS!!! I really love this beer. One of these will be cracked at the December BA tasting and the rest will head to the cellar to hang out with the two 08 Berserkers currently residing on the shelf.

Come to the tasting December 6th at the Draught House to try some.
