Stout BIF - Hints & Hauls

1991 MN Twins take down the Braves with a little help from Jack Morris. Great memories... beacause MN hasn't won a thing outside hockey since.

 

That crushed my childhood. Thanks.

 

I was raised a cub fan and still follow them (loosely) to this day. I don't have (too) much sympathy man... Cheers!

 

There goes your box!

 

You felt so bad I've followed the cubs my whole life you sent it out early? How nice of you!

 

Did I mention how cool I think the Braves / Rays are ...

 

Glad I shipped early. Car just died, and the "discretional budget" is about to take a serious hit.

 

Chicago! Check your porch!

 

I got home a few minutes ago to a doorman grumbling about the enormous box he had to stash in our package room ... I have it upstairs now and started opening things before I was interrupted by dinner (the kids are impatient). So far I can report that everything got here safely, and even though I've only unwrapped about half the bottles, you already hit one of my top wants.

Full report to come, as the half-unpacked box taunts me silently from the corner.

 

Check out this haul! Big format:


Lindley Park (one of my top wants!)
Blue Mountain Barrel House Dark Hollow (new to me, looks great)
Weyerbacher Tiny (one of only two beers in the box I've tried, and it was a long time ago, so looking forward to revisiting)
Berkshire Brewing Russian Imperial Stout (new to me, looks great)
Sexual Chocolate (mic drop)
Olde Hickory Hickory Stick Stout (I've liked everything I've had from them)
Ballast Point Victory at Sea (stout + coffee + vanilla = want)
Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break (always welcome)

Small format:


Terrapin Moo-Hoo x2 (yes please)
Terrapin Wake n Bake x2 (yes please)
Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout x2 (I've heard great things)
Sweetwater Happy Ending (new to me, looks great)

This is a great combination of wants (including a top one!), beers I've heard great things about but never tried, and beers I've never heard of that look awesome. Thanks, Wolfpack2005! This is a great box and I'm psyched to be your target.

 

Glad everything got there safe and sound. That Lindley Park is my favorite beer, OH knows how to do big beers. There was also a can of 21st Oyster Stout in the box. I didn't realize that you had access to Evil Twin till after I saw the box you sent, but figured it was such a stellar beer that you wouldn't mind another.

Enjoy the beers!

Haha, found it -- thanks for the heads up! The can is much smaller than all the bottles and took me a solid 20 seconds of digging to find. And yeah, always happy to have another beer that I like. It seems like Evil Twin distro is spotty here, as in you never know exactly which beers will be around.

 

Great box! Victory at Sea (technically a Porter) is one of my favorites!

 

Bro. BRO. BRO.

Killer box. Drank a WNB tonight.

 

Has anyone heard from ohsaycanyoubeer?

 

Kinda wondering that myself

 

That Dark Hollow was pretty damn tasty when I tried it a couple weeks ago same with Victory at Sea, can't wait for Ballast Point to come to MN in the summer. Had my first Imperial Biscotti Break yesterday and will now be adding it to my wants list. Great box Wolfpack!

 

I'd love to know what StoutSeth sent him too.

 

I picked up a few more beers for my target today. They have a limited distribution in one of the 3 areas they roam for this sweet nectar called beer, but they are not something he has rated in their many years on BA.

 

I like the sound of that
