Stout BIF - Hints & Hauls

Just crank the old A/C up in the house and enjoy!

 

I am really enjoying these haul pictures.

 

The pics are great. Amazing boxes.

 

Crazy hauls today. Nice work, gents.

As to the other issue, give him a couple more days. If there's no contact over the weekend, put up a thread asking if anyone knows him and/or what happened to him. Get the situation out there without instantly condemning the guy. Should worse come to worst, I'll gladly contribute something for the unlucky target, and my cat will contribute something for the unlucky sender.

 

The sympathy boxes may turn out to be a pretty large haul.

 

Well here is the damage, pictures to follow:

Smurf REALLY hit my wants list. 15 total bottles, with only two duplicates; SEVEN wants, and the rest are definitely should wants! Hell, one was #414 out of only 1000 bottles. So rare I didn't know it existed, but damn excited to try it!

1. Parabola 2012 - Huge want! Late add, thrilled I got it!
2. Abyss 2012 - Another huge want! A recent trade attempt for this fell through! Thanks!
3. Espresso Oak Aged Yeti - WANT
4. Oak Aged Yeti - WANT
5. Grandfather Raven - Definitely SHOULD want, excited to have.
6. Yeti x2- WANT
7. Obsidian Stout x2 - WANT
8. Pothole Filler - Should want, thought it was on there!
9. Two Beers Switchback Alta Series 414/1000 - AWESOME! Can't wait!
10. Pelican Tsunami Stout - Should want! Always wanted to try something from Pelican. Thanks!

Extras:

1. Hilliards Saison - Always excited to try new things! I'll give it a whirl!
2. Treat (chocolate pumpkin porter) - Had pumpkin beers. Had Chocolate beers. Never had Chocolate Pumpkin...excited to try it!
3. Sucaba (abacus) - Huge want!
4. Elysian tote bag - Should come in handy when I lug my new treats around to share with friends!

I must say I am thrilled with this box! Smurf hit a ton of my wants. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping to get from this BIF. I'm excited that I have the opportunity to try a ton of great beers that I would never find around me; and some that many people out on the west coast won't even get to try!

Thanks Smurf!

 

So when is the next Stout BIF? Haha

 

The Sucaba should be from last year (2012)

Glad you liked it, it was a fun box to put together. I was worried I might be sending you duplicates because you were ISO the Firestone Walker beers on the trade forums, but I figured having too many of them is a good problem to have.

 

I've never had ANY of the beers you sent. When I said duplicates, I meant there were two bottles of that beer you sent. Probably could have phrased that a little better. I'm very pleased with the box. Thanks again! Yes, I was searching out Firestone Walker. I had a few discussions, but when I started to get the feeling you were my sender, I decided to put them on hold.

 

Box should be landing today. In where there are techies and Cavaliers if I remember straight going to a very stout individual.

 

Super excited to be that stout individual

 

Nice, there should be some more beer **** today. Since it looks like my targets box will be landing today as well...in a state that is on the northern border of south carolina .

 

Looks like I have some boxes hitting my door today as well.

 

It's an exciting day to live below the Mason-Dixon line in this BIF.

 

Yeah man, I have 44lbs of BIF goodness coming today and Bioshock Infinite coming today.

Its like damn Nudie Magazine Day man!

 

lol I thought Bioshock Infinite was a beer I hadn't heard of so I had to look it up.

 

LOL, no man. I'm a gamer as well as a beer lover.

 

She's hot!

 

Um...maybe now would be a good time to try and figure out my sender. It's probably down to, like, three possibilities, and one of them has me concerned.
