One for the Noobs: Hints and Hauls

What is in the mystery bottles?

It took a lot of willpower to not crack into any of those last night. They all arrived cold and ready to drink....Going to wait until i get my little tasting group together to try most of these.

 

So glad to see they all made it safely! I was really nervous about the glassware

I've yet to try Rook and Chocolate Sombrero, but the rest are all personal favorites. I'm especially partial to Temptress, but that could be the hometown bias speaking

Enjoy!

 

I got home from Team Oklahoma's "Gangbang Round 3" tasting today and found a wonderul box from Indiana sitting in my bedroom!!! My wants list was ticked pretty hardcore



Flat 12 Bierwerks - Flat Jack Pumpkin (I love pumpkins)
The Bruery - Mischief (want!)
Jolly Pumpkin - La Roja (want...almost grabbed one in Oklahoma yesterday, glad I didnt)
FFF - Behemoth 2013 (don't think it was a want, but definitely sounds like it should be)
Founders Backwoods Bastard, Imperial Stout, Breakfast Stout (all wants - tried them for the first time at the Gangbang tasting last night. So glad I can have more than 2oz of each now!)
Goose Island - Juliet (mmm, should have been a want)
Goose Island - Lolita (want)
Fantome - Hiver (another want I'm glad I didn't buy while in Oklahoma)
Russian River - Salvation (ooh....want)
Upland pint glass (not pictured)

Zapy knocked it out of the park with this box! Thanks a ton!

 

I'm glad everything made it out there in one piece, and hope you enjoy.

 

How many boxes are still out there?
I don't think it can be more than 3 or 4, can it?

 

I am still waiting kn a box.

 

If everybody shipped on time, I imagine you'll be seeing something today or tomorrow.
I'm kind of jealous--I wish I was still waiting for a box of mystery goodies to show up at my door.

 

That can be arranged...

 

Just to be clear, my comment was in no way regarding the quality of the box that I got. I was referring to the Christmas morning like anticipation of knowing you're getting presents but having no idea what they are.
I'm pretty sure you weren't reading it that way, but better safe than sorry.
The box I got had a crapload of awesomeness in it!!

 

Haha yeah, no worries, I was just yanking your chain. I'm already hoping to sign up for another BIF becase I had such a good time in this one. Hope to see another few haul pictures in the next couple days!

 

I am the same way. Only problem is the part of me trying to buy a house says i need to save as much money as i can.

 

I hear ya. But what good will a new house be if you don't have a bunch of great beer to drink while you're in it? Compromises, my friend.

 

I've seen people living in boxes smaller than some that have been destroying porches recently.
After every BIF, you could put an addition on the house.

 

I'm still waiting too.

 

That was my apple cinnamon Belgian ale.

 

You'd choose shelter over booze? For shame...

 

You don't have to choose--you can combine the two.
