Stout BIF - Hints & Hauls

ISO: insane cut-proof tape Ray packed these up with... easily these boxes would survive a nuclear holocaust. Thanks a lot Ray! Now my fedex guy is blackmailing me for future chiropractor appointments...

 

Sorry for the shitty pictures... Old phone combined with the basement being the only place people aren't studying are to blame! Hopefully this will satisfy everyone's need for beer pr0n.










All together:

Great box Ray! Haven't tried anything from Great Divide, Cigar City, Nectar Ales, or Clown Shoes! Two of those will help with verticals (I have an older zhukov / huna). Awesome! Also, the speedway stout completes a horizontal I have going for this year's Alesmith beers. Perfect! Bourbon barrel Pt5 and Victory at Sea might be my favorite beers in their relative styles ... I missed out on the 4elf party this year so thank you for trading for those brewery only beers (bbpt5 / ba blackout). I definitely won't make the same mistake missing out this year!! I could drink WnB and FBS all day, every day. That's one of my favorites as well!

Cheers and thanks again!

Not sure if you noticed, but that Ten Fidy is a 2011. Cheers. Glad you enjoyed. Tried to hit some wants, locals, and things you never tried. Looks successful. I had fun putting it together, I hope you have fun drinking it.

 

Sweet! I didn't notice the year. Oskar Blues just came to Michigan. Ten Fidy is the one beer that's been hard to find so far (out of season I'm told...) . Great beer and I look forward to seeing how it's aged!

 

I think MADpolo passed out trying to pick up my boxes... too bad, he seemed like a good guy...

 

I may have! Damn! Everything is safe and sound, pictures in a couple minutes.

 

Just got this email from oh say can you beer with his phone # attached

 

Awesome news!

 

Sorry it's taking so long. Cooking dinner for my boys and still recovering from passing out due to the awesomeness of those two boxes!

T-minus 5 minutes here...

 

Box landed.
