In Search Of...Huuuuge brews!!!!

[ray m]

I have read tons about Sam Adams Triple Bock, as well as mid 90's vintage Thomas Hardys Ale. I would like to get my hands on each of the above, or any other really huge beers (barleywines, etc.) that anyone recommends/has available. I have access to neither of the above where I live, although a store nearby has TONS of other microbrews/foreign beers on hand, including big brews. I am also willing to trade for some of my homebrew:
---an 8.6% belgian strong ale;
---a 6.5% English Old Ale---tastes a bit like Theakson's Old Peculiar (has 3/4 lb. of treacle in it).
---both have been bottled since the early fall 2002.

Let's deal!!!!!!!!!

I have an entire case of Sam Adams and would be willing to part with some of it. I also have access to Thomas Hardy (limited vintages though).

Where are you located and what do you have for barter?

Brewmonkey---I live in KY. There's a place nearby that has tons of microbrew stuff, foreign beers, etc. I tried to visit their website to get a list of all the beers they sell, but I don't think it was working right. For barter, I have a couple strong homebrews that I listed in my original message. If you're not interested in those, list what you fancy and I will see if they are available. I am interested in both the triple bock & Thomas Hardys that you have/have access to.

I would not mind some of the homebrew.

I will PM you a list later as I need to cross check some things.

I will also be in Colorado later this week and New Belgium is on the planned agenda.

Cool! I believe I have 13 or 14 of each of the homebrews left. Send me your list, too and we'll come up with something. I am assuming that UPS will gladly take care of shipping arrangements, won't they?? How much of the Sam Adams Triple Bock & Thomas Hardy's are you willing to part with?
