Nice box Keith you win best BA in Va

 

No box here.

 

Id like to challenge your claim of best BA n VA as i received an awesome box today as well from StoutSeth.... i think they should send another to settle this

 

I think Keith is up to the challenge.

 

Just a heads up not done yet. Thinking I'm gonna send a regular dark Hollow so you can compare the two. And a few other bottles to go with the swag.

 

No box here either.

 

I will take anything you send my way. Thanks again for the awesomeness that is already here!

 

according to my preliminary check... there are 60 people that received boxes. 16 boxes left. The google doc is up too date.

 

No problem my friend. That's what Bifs are for and happy to do it. Enjoy

 

Hoping my target doesn't get too worried. My box has made it half way across the country and should be here soon. I'm PRAYING it gets there ASAP!

 

beer boner

 

Nice! I just kicked my keg of homebrewed nut brown. It was my first all-grain batch after the switch from extract and now I'm a sad panda because the three kegs in my keezer are earmarked for a party the first weekend of June. Maybe now I can show Marti403 some nice beer pr0n instead of just drinking my own stuff

 

Major thanks to Kirbmeist. He killed it with a bunch of Cigar City goodies! My favorite part was the note about bottle limits keeping him from sending what he wanted ... so he threw in a KBS!!! That's a true beer advocate. Thanks.


Cigar City Brewing:
6 Jai Alai
6 Maduro
6 Florida Cracker
Tocobaga Red Ale
White Oak Jai Alai
HUNAHPU'S Imperial Stout

Terrapin Hopsecutioner
Sweet Water IPA
KBS

And some great Cigar City posters.

Thanks again Kirbmeist - good luck in school!

And thanks to Cuzco for running this BIF! Great time! Cheers.

 

These boxes just keep getting crazier! I hope I get the last box! WOW! However, I do believe that UPS and FEDEX have never delivered to me this late...
No worries. I don't believe in much. But I do believe in beer karma!
Cheers!

I post a pic of me drinking a beer after I write and grade all these finals! Going to be a busy week and half!

 

Came home to a huge box from bjohnston. Opened up that monster to the sight of three smaller boxes:


I opened up the smaller box and what do I see? Box o' cans:


2 x West Sixth IPA (love cans, love the chance to try local's not available to me)
2 x West Sixth Amber Ale (ditto)
1 x Great Crescent Bourbon Barrel Stout (BB Stout in a can?!? - Like)
1 x Sun King Chaka (Awesome, never head)
Also pictured: sweet Against the Grain shirt

So, I move on to box two and the excitement continues to grow as I open the box and peel away the layers of bubble wrap:



1 x Dark Horse Blueberry Stout (never had, thats gonna change)
2 x Flat 12 Half Cycle (more solid locals)
1 x Westy 12 (huge WANT)
1 x HaandBryggeriet Haandbakk (WANT)
1 x HaandBryggeriet Odin's Tipple (WANT)

2 x Bluegrass Brewing Bourbon Barrel Stout 2012 (Love BBL stouts!)
1 x Bluegrass Brewing Bourbon Barrel Stout 2011 (ditto)

I am loving the box so far, but don't even realize the best is yet to come:



OH YEAH 4 x Zombie Dust (top of the list mega huge WANT)

I would be a happy man if this was the end of the party, but no, it just keeps going as I break in to the final box.

TO BE CONTINUEEEEDDDD

 

So final box from bjohnston:



1 x Mikkeller Nelson Sauvingnon (big WANT)
1 x 2009 Boulevard Saison Brett (?! want)
1 x 2012 Boulevard Saison Brett (?! WANT )
1 x Bluegrass Brewing Company Tsar Bomba (can't even find this beer on the site - so obviously new to me )
1 x Three Floyds Behemoth (major WANT )
1 x 2011 Saint Arnold Pumpkinator (WANT WANT WANT)
1 x New Albanian Black and Blue Grass (looks interesting )
1 x Three Floyds Arctic Panzer Wolf (Yes - WANT )






On a sad note, there was one casualty. I see it as if this Westy chalice gave itself so I could receive this bounty:



RIP (es)

Seriously Brian, you went above and beyond. You nailed on just the locals but also were way generous with some huge wants. I have not had one drop of any of these beers before, so thank you! I also want to thank Cuzco for running this BIF! Thank you!

A little past due, but for Californian and the first time tasting it, it was delicious.
I can't believe how buzzed I'm off of one.

 

Bam! :-)

Glad you liked the box. Sorry there wasn't more swag, I ran out of space!

 

Holy balls I envy that 2009 Saison Brett! Great haul all around, too.
