Stout BIF - Hints & Hauls

I guess it could still be wolfpack but his response to Jakeox seemed to indicate he was sending to Chicago...

 

I will be packing everything up in the next few days to send to my target that has a tri-state distribution area.

 

sup dudes

 

I assure you, that thing your gf does, I have never done it, nor will I ever.

 

Great. Now I'm wondering if I guessed Smurf right. You were one of my remaining, and I've been dropping hockey hints. Or it's ForkAndSpoon because of his avatar.

 

That and i started posting in here to make sure that the bottles i dropped off with him yesterday actually make it to their destination and not bruce's cellar.

 

Big ole box of beer left a dent in my concrete porch! Popped open the growler and new by the smell exactly what it was.... Live Oak HefeWeizen! A long time want! Thanks Josh! Will update with more contents later...

 

So unfortunately I will be shipping later than I had wanted. I received an injury at work that makes it very hard to dig through my cellar. I hope it heals up enough to allow me to dig through it soon, or I will have to enlist a friend.

clue: My target seems to like darker beer, or at least that's what I can glean from all his info. he has on his profile and posts.

 

The speech pattern. Dropping "to be" out of certain phrases. Box needs packed, dog wants fed, mortgage needs paid. That thing.

Not the other thing.

 

One box is fully packed and ready to go. Picking up 2 last bottles tomorrow, packing up the rest and then shipping on Friday.

Hint - my target lives in the largest city in their state.

 

Glad you liked it

 

All packed up -- whew. Three boxes, 335 oz, one sweet piece of swag, 48 pounds total. (I may have overpacked. Haha.) I managed to hit 6 wants -- 5 bombers and one 12 oz bottle -- and would have hit two more if my target hadn't removed them from his wants! They're good stouts so I kept them in the box anyway. A total of 21 bottles, 17 of which are stouts.

These boxes will go out on Monday and should arrive the following Thursday on the porch of a man who serves no master.

 

Pics or it didn't happen!

 

Looks like someone in NJ will be receiving some goodie boxes today. They are out for delivery!

 

Should I be keeping an eye out for this

 

This morning I shipped out two boxes. One weighing 27 pounds, one weighing 24 pounds (I definitely overpacked). I was able to hit 7 wants. Would have been more, except from the start my target acquired a want or two and removed them. All that meant was I got to drink them! Also, my target and I share a very similar distribution, and he inexplicably has tried VERY local beers to my region. Nevertheless, I shipped out 259 oz of stouts, and 60 oz of extras, and a piece of swag.

 

It looks like my eagles have landed! Someone just got a delivery!

 

Ok. So I am one of the last people on earth with a non-smart phone that can't take pictures that I can post online, and my actual camera is nowhere to be found right now (I recently moved and still have some unpacked boxes in random closets). I will post contents now and get pics up later...

The haul from Josh (atxdelivery):

Large format bottles:
-Jester King Black Metal - WANT
-Jester King/Mikeller Beer Geek Rodeo- WANT
-Jester King/Mikeller- Weasel Rodeo- WANT
-Freetail La Muerta- WANT
-Abyss '10- WANT, I've got an '11 too, cannot wait to open this, recent reviews on the '10 are spectacular
-Squatters Brewing Outer Darkness- never seen before, cool looking bottle
-Clown Shoes Chocolate Sombrero- got Clown Shoes distro here a 2 weeks ago, this is one I've been dying to try!
-Rahr & Sons Snowmageddon- may try to age this one til next winter

12oz Cans:
-Oskar Blues Ten Fidy X4 - perpetual want, I love this beer!
-Southern Star Buried Hatchet Stout X4- we get this beer up here from time to time, I had it a couple years ago and remember it being very solid

64oz Growler:
-Live Oak Hefeweizen- this has been a WANT of mine for a LONG time, so excited about this beer!

Thanks a ton Josh! I am super pumped to try the Jester King beers and the Live Oak! I was so tempted to crack into these last night (the last day of my 24 day challenge) but held off (lost 17 lbs in 24 days), but told my wife don't be surprised if I pour beer on my oatmeal this morning! I'm ok if a few of those come back because of these excellent stouts- it's about sacrifice! haha.

 

Hahaha, I had you eliminated because of that author clue. I was thinking T.S. Elliot and Mark Twain (god knows why, since nobody from Missouri is in this BIF) when I should have been thinking HP Lovecraft (my favorite author, next to Stephen King) and Cormac McCarthy. Apparently my undergrad literature degree is not helping much with beer trading...

 

That's funny, I had no idea I was referencing some of your favorite authors. I love Cormac McCarthy myself, and have been meaning to read more Lovecraft for a while.
