Easter BIFsket - Hints & Hauls

Hops n Roses comes in a pudgy 375, like the RR sours.

 

My fingers are crossed as fuck.

 

From left to right:

Bitter Valentine, Cafe Royale, Bourbon Barrel Porter (all from Williamsburg Alewerks) Bourbon Sidamo, regular Sidamo (From Hardywood)

A metric ****ton of candy which will be enjoyed when I feel like i deserve it and my very first Duvel glass! When I saw it through the bubble wrap I got super excited and tore it the hell open!

Mike this was a bad ass box. Seriously everything in there made my mouth water while unwrapping it. I havent had ANYTHING from either of these breweries so I am even more excited. The Duvel glass is awesome....i want to sleep with it and I just might tonight.

You went out with a vengeance and I love the living hell out of this box dude. Thank you so much!


Cheers fellas!

 

Sorry sir. I got his box And what a box it was!

 

Balls.

 

Glad you liked it, I stayed close to the rules which I was worried about after seeing some of these posts, then I saw you say earlier you stayed close to the rules too so it made me feel better.

 

I am glad you did the same! Proof that awesome boxes can be made following the rules

Cheers!

 

no.

 

This damn glass pretty much holds a whole bomber.

Not sure why I even have other glasses. All i need is my huna glass and this beast!

 

Mike, thats a sick box!

 

picking a nit here, but the RR's have the cork/cage mouth and the H&R has the cap mouth; a la Juicy.

/too much time on my hands
//back to the NCAA games

 

this. Im not sure i told you yet Mike...but I really love this box. What i hate is that I am so tempted to just say "Screw my diet, im drinking all of them today"

 

/cork n cage or cap mouth don't matter
//not a russian river beer
///not hops n roses

 

This would be a fun LIF--blurry pic of beers. First to name them all wins the bottles.

 

What I was saying was that not only was it not H&R (see: wrong bottle shape), but also that H&R has a different bottle mouth than RR sours; not that the beer in question was or wasn't an H&R or a RR sour.

Hop's & Roses is a chubby Belgian style bottle with a cap mouth. (right, below)
RR small-format sours are chubby Belgian bottles that have the cork/cage mouth. (left, below)

/not sure that made sense

Well FedEx is still saying that someone will be getting a box tomorrow. I love FedEx's Saturday deliveries.

 

to my sender: My shipping address is a work address, so if you expect it to arrive on a Saturday, then a friendly not to go into work for a few hours wouldn't be the worst thing in the world

 

^^^*note

 

i'll check with Bobby's neighbor to see if he is game for slapping a new label on the box

here's some hints on the contents of the box...
4 out of the 5 bottles were brewed in NY
2 silent brewery only releases (one from 2013, one from 2012)
- one listed on targets "If you have access to the following, please BM me immediately. I will make it well worth your time." list
1 brewery is represented 3 times between beer and swag
1 beer (only non-NY brewed beer) is from favorite breweries list and on wants list
2 beers are great local representations of a style found on target's "Styles I enjoy" list

swag includes coasters, stickers, bottle opener, glassware and chocolate bunnies

 

I have an 8 bottle shipper heading to someone on monday.

It's going northwest of where my secret santa box went
