MLB 13 run BIF

@PA-Michigander 's cross-state mini-BIF box landed today, and... holy smokes. When he leads the conversation with "are your wants current?", you are definitely in for it!!


L to R:
Tenaya Creek Old Jackalope
Night Shift Ever Weisse (want)
KBS glass (in tact, his note wrote that he hoped it wasn't broken!)
New Glarus Raspberry Tart (want)
Westbrook Gose (finally!! not sure why this want was so much trouble for me)
New Glarus Scream (want)
Short's Key Lime Pie (want)

Thanks Nick for knocking out a bunch of my wants, huge cheers to you my friend!!!

 

that is some sexy glass assware!

 

Glad they all made it safe, especially the glass! If you look into the top of that Styrofoam shipper you'll see I had to hack the shit out of it to make the Gose and the glass make it safely.

It should be noted that I've communicated about PA bars and brews with Shandy before and felt he deserved an extra nice box. Not all boxes I can send out will have 5 wants.

Also of note the Tenaya Creek is a beer made in Vegas which sort of goes with the 7,7,7 mini-bif I ran. Congrats again Shandy and enjoy!

 

Haha, yeah I saw the hack job - good work! Anyway, yeah we've definitely chatted in the past, and our paths are destined to cross at some point in time for a few beers- we'll make it happen for sure! I have a buddy who lives out in Vegas area so I recognized the Tenaya Creek name and tie-in, but haven't had anything from there before!! Thanks again

 

Also, @PA-Michigander , not sure if it's visible in the pic, but the Ever Weisse looks dangerously close to the cork being popped... I threw it directly in the fridge and will probably have it tomorrow, hopefully it's still in good shape!!

 

@tommyz sounded like he was up for taking AZ. Guess we didn't get an absolute yes or no. You're thinking this round is just about over with the high score in Milwaukee tonight aren't ya?!

 

Double header proved to be too much pressure for the Cubbies. They actually came within one run of closing the 3-2-4 BIF on only the second day in.

 

Fourteen runs...Jesus...

 

If we need someone to take em, I'll do it. Of course, I'll send twice as much beer when I lose also. If we find someone else, I'll gladly step aside, as well.

 

I just posted this in the NFL BIF thread like a n00b...

Okay, another mini, this one should be reasonably easy, so I don't think you need to even write it on the spreadsheet @hansenm72

The next team to perform a triple play will win six 12 oz beers from a list of Michigan beers (you pick!). If the triple play is unassisted, I'll send you six bombers from a list of Michigan beers. Finally, if the triple play is unassisted and occurs before the end of the month, I'll send you a six bomber shipper of your choice and an e-mail with a photo copy of my ID so that you (or a proxy) can pick up my Blackberry lambic from Upland's Indianapolis tasting room.

Let the defense commence!

 

For clarity, I will compose a list of 12 oz beers available to me and you will pick six from it. Same goes for bombers.

 

Thank goodness @PA-Michigander sent @Shandycan that Westbrook Gose...now I can drink the one I was saving for him

 

I was just thinking of the both of you! I'm a caring man if nothing else!

 

Caring indeed! Had the Ever Weisse last night, it was phenomenal! Even the wife liked it, that's no small feat

 

Got my mini-BIF box from @Damian74Shensky

Captaim Lawrence: captn revenge (DIPA) and extra gold (tripel)
Carton: boat session and 077xx ipa
Olde mecklemburg: copper amber ale

Thanks for a super box! As per my usual Friday activities, these will be shared with some coworkers this afternoon!

 

hot damn I love some Boat beer! Easily, EASILY my favorite session beer.
