Stout BIF Round 4 Hints & Hauls

My apologies to my target. I was not able to get everything boxed in time to ship today and I dont want it sit over the weekend in a warehouse. My 'new' ship date is Monday 4/6/15. Hope your porch is ready to be torn up and you have your maintenance department on speeddial.

As a palette cleanser for all those stouts, I did manage to swing by a local brewery and get you a crowler of this DIPA, they had just kegged FRESH. I might have even picked up a FIXIE too:

The box of little guys has been shipped. I am trying to find a box for the big boys and hope to have them shipped in the next day or 2.

 

So box was supposed to go out Monday. Didn't happen. Sorry target. Feeling better today so gonna kick these boxes to the curb tomorrow. Hope you enjoy!

 

The pRon next week is going to be crazy....

 

I think the wave will start at the end of this week

 

He did mention SO.

 

Funny, but just not right. .

 

You're my number one suspect.

 

My Target has posted on the the last 2 pages. Damnit, I said I wasn't gonna give anymore hints

 

I guess nobody wants to play my game. Sorry target... :'-(

 

Bombs away. D-day is Friday.

 

My target hasn't posted over the past 3 pages. When my boxes hit his porch next week he will will begin to understand the meaning of Hoosier Hospitality.

 

finally picked up the last bottle for box 1, which is all stouts.

Box 2 will head out sometime next week and will be a poupori of goodness.

 

I was debating playing your game but I have a list of boxes to get out right now and can't add another just yet. .

 

Well, 2 boxes packed, and the 3rd is pending some items that will remain in the fridge until Monday morning to be boxed and shipped out. Plus what I might find this weekend while I'm out.

HAUL HINTS: Over twice the minimum of Stouts. 6 wants fulfilled. 6 barrel aged beers. 11 brewery only beers of which 6 are limited/special release. Locals and not so locals to round out the boxes.

Right now I need to tend to a blister caused from packing and go remind my wife that she still loves me. LOL

 

All you FIB's. Me and my wife are heading to Chicago during labor day and we are planing on seeing the amazing baseball game against the diamondbacks on Sunday. Is it better to just get tickets to the game or would it be better to find rooftop tickets? I figured someone here could direct us to the best route so we could see a game a Wrigley field. I will also be bringing some beers for the people that can help us with this.

 

All right, all right, all riiiiiight...!
This IS the stout BIF after all!

But if, say, Free Will Key Lime Lambic or Weyerbacher Riserva was tumbling down on you at the store and ended up in a box, I'm sure your target wouldn't mind. Just sayin'

But he could also proposition you for a proper trade in the future as well, so as not to be a gluttonous greedy docuhe....

 

I would say get tickets to Wrigley, especially if you've never been there. The rooftops are expensive and they're putting up new scoreboards and signs that will block your view from certain rooftops.

 

You should skip the Cubs game and head to the South side Seriously though, I'd also advise on skipping the rooftops. That's more of a party scene than anything else and you don't get to explore the stadium. You would be much better off getting tickets to the game. Where are you guys gonna be staying at?

 

LOL, no worries. Riserva is definitely gone, I had to ask a favor to land a bottle, and that was two months ago.

Free Will Key Lime I could probably get for you, but I will be 100% honest and tell you to not waste your time. Either step up and get an Upland Kiwi, or skip it. Free Will makes a few really good beers, but Key Lime Lambic is not one of them.

I will, however, keep my ear to the ground for Pizza Boy Kiwi Sour, I hear that one is about as good as Upland, and I'd like to try it myself; whenever I hear it's on tap again I'll make sure to acquire two and we'll set something up then.
