Winter is a great time of year for beer enthusiast. All the new winter seasonals, and upcoming barley wines offers a wide array of taste, aromas, and colors. The only problem is that the local store doesn't carry them all. You can however find many of them on liquid solutions.biz. They not only have over 700 beers, but they also sell mead, sake, wine, coffee and sodas.
Last spring I placed an order for what seemed to be a life time supply of barley wine. It only lasted a month. So one night Scott and I left Flag Brew and went to my place for a night cap or two. Upon going to the dishwasher for fresh glasses I saw the two glass stiens we had been drinking out of a month earlier. These WERE the big one litre Octoberfest Paulaner style. At that time we had them full off Old Crustacean and were slamming them together, harder and harder, seeing how much abuse they could handle. On seeing these I said, "Hey Scott, remember these?). I tossed him one and we hit them together, smash. Well, from that point on every bottle emptied, shattered. Every used glass, shattered. The following a.m. it took four bags to clean up the glass. It was well worth it. Plus, I didn't have to pack all the glasses when I moved.
If you are thinking at this point "I should order some barley wine and ship it to Free". All I have to say is, feel free.

Man, I remember that night like it was yesterday! The remaining Paulaner stein is signed and on display here at the house. The DVD on the table; we were watching John Lee. Woo-Hoo! When are you coming down here?
We had a lot of great times. Drinking with Andrew and Bridger. I have that table hooked up. Might be down in Feb or March. Then helter skelter will really come down. Get Mikey and go drink morphine drips.
