SWTFYW Hints and Hauls!!!

And his special lady friend just got a lot happier...

 

Well, damn. I guess my "target" doesn't understand how these BIF things work, right? In any case, a big thanks to jdhowe for an unexpected (until this afternoon) box. I guess he must have approved of mine!

Soda Shaq (Strawberry) - 270 calories, 72 grams of sugar in this can. Probably healthier than some stouts ...
RR Blind Pig - oh yeah!
Fantome Saison - just in time for the hottest days of the year around here.
Stone Ruin Ten - have had and liked
PtE - always welcome in this house
Temptation - one of the RR sours I've been missing!

That's 3 wants on that list, for those keeping score.

Seriously, you didn't have to do this, but I am most appreciative of a very thoughtful box. Thanks again!

 

Excellent! Glad this made it safely in time to deliver some refreshment -- hopefully you get saison and not shampoo (it looked fine in the bottle).

I can't stop laughing at those "Soda Shaq" cans... the giant Shaq face gets me every time. Out at the local craft bar about ready to enjoy that Ninja vs. Unicorn with some generous bar staff.

I'm new to BIFs; maybe I'm not good at them yet.

 

It's a BIB!

 

I get called a FIB quite often...

 

Hey all just wanted to give you a heads up. Haywire is running a BIF for Pumpkin/Oktoberfest/Stouts. The link is:

http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/nbo-pumpkin-spice-and-everything-nice.112343/#post-1660335

It would be cool if more people from from this BIF would join in!

 

Enjoy, that stuff is delicious.

 

Dude, you're welcome. I'm sorry you lost a few in the shipment (among the casualties a 2nd Ghandi-Bot). Hope you enjoy some of these New England goods.

 

So today was my first day back at work after the baby and of course I wanted a beer. So despite it being almost 100 degrees today, I poured myself this:

Im gonna DWTFIW. No sooner did I pour it, did my wife come in and ask if I could water her plants. I looked at her, I looked at my beer, and decided to be a good husband and said OK. So I took my 3 Floyds teku full of Bairille Aois outside to the 90 degree heat and proceeded to water plants. I couldn't help but think of the poor schmuck doing the same thing with a can of Bud Light. Sucks for him- the Bairille Aois was freaking awesome.

 

Potential right there for some drunk posts.
90+ degrees, probably sleep deprived, 22 oz of 9.4% alcohol.
I'm going to buckle in, pour the last of my Tired Hands growler and see where this ride goes.

 

Unfortunately- right to bed. That was my only one tonight and now it is time to sleep. I will not be the drunk guy tonight. Anybody else wanna volunteer? Tertullian- you want another turn?

 

i finally had a couple (ok, maybe 3) glasses of the growler tertullian sent me. it was a dipa, and very nice. im off to bed now, too, though. im spent. thanks jeremy!

 

Looks like box #2 will land Thursday in vegas

 

My boxes land Friday. That could be my night.

 

I'm surprised this BIF is still rolling. I think by the time it's over we could just start up round 2.

 

Second box has left the building - Kansas, get ready!

 

Awesome, I'm ready for some lifting. I've really been enjoying the beers from the first box. That Bodhi was outstanding.

 

Glad you like 'em! They've been talking about bottling Bodhi FOREVER but we keep hearing "soon." I can get it on tap practically any time, though, so it's all good!
