One for the Noobs: Hints and Hauls

Yeah posted it in the wrong thread at first, it looks like a couple people like trading glassware also.

 

Pretty sure I declared my intention early on to win this BiF.

Someone fetch me an aircraft carrier so I can declare mission accomplished.

 

I came home to find absolutely killer box from Chriltz. The haul:

Revolution Anti Hero and Eugene Porter
(My favorite place i went to in Chicago a few years back and haven't had any of their beers since, so excited to get these.)
FBS (a fav and i got to go to Va to get, so happy to at least have 1 more this year)
Gumball Head (want)
Alpha King (want)
Zombie Dust (want)
Artic Panzer Wolf (want)
(any 3 Floyds is a want for me)
Pipeworks Coffee Break Abduction (should be want, looks like a good one for the tasting group)
Hopslam x2 (want)
Black Butte Porter (want)
New Glarus Apple (not familiar, is this one i can share with the wife?)
Tyranena Dirty Old Man (not familar, but sounds right up my alley)
BCBS '08 (oh snap! are you kidding me?)
3 Floyds Teku glass (awesome)
3 Floyds coasters and Two Brothers Brewing sticker (one for the kegerator)

This is absolutely fucking fantastic! Thank you so much man. Looking foward to some great drinking in my near future.

 

This thread got bonkers.

 

That Coffee Break Abduction is a sleeper. I had one last weekend, and it immediately jumped to my top 2-3 coffee beers. Awesome box!

 

Good to see it all made it safe...especially the glass. I was most worried about that one. That coffe break, like wyatt said, is phenomenal. The apple ale is a beer that my mother will drink. Every other beer we try giving her she turns it away saying it smells like beer...but she actually drinks that one.

 

2 boxes scheduled to take a 48mile trip north on Garden State Pkwy tomorrow

 

No you had everything packed up right. I think that box was pretty much bullet proof (which is a good thing coming to Baltimore)

 

This was a noob BIF, right? These boxes are ridiculous!

 

A little off topic here...I just finished brewing a batch of beer that i am kinda being paid for. Does that now make me a professional brewer?

 

Time to call the teamsters.

 

Gotta teach 'em how to win BiF's otherwise they'll never learn.

 

I thought the point was to send a box you would be happy to receive...thats all i did.

 

My package is in the home town of FFF and out for delivery just across the state line.

 

Got home from a family get together and saw packages at the front door. Ran in and tore the boxes open to stumble upon this glorious bunch of goodness from RustyP.

By the way, that damn box was never ending. was just layer upon layer of beer in there...it didn't seem like it was that deep from the outside.

 

Awesome, Glad it got there safely and without freezing. Hope you enjoy everything. I'm a fellow bears fan, and used to live in the region.
