Alright so nap is out of the question as my girlfriend is requesting I remain conscious at least until she leaves for work. Time for some Pr0n. A slightly misshapen, but perfectly sound box of beer (bonus points for the camo duct tape) Stuffed to the brim with lots of different packing materials. I love this part. It's like Christmas morning. Pumpkins! Beer! Pumpkin Beer! Elysian Brewing - The Great Pumpkin: Longtime should-have-been-want Longtrail - Imperial Pumpkin: Sounds cool. I'm intrigued, and it's clocking in at 8% which sounds delightful Springhouse - BRAAAIINS: I'm not a zombie, but this is some great art and I can't wait to enjoy it. Sixpoint - Resin. have had this before and it is a monster of an IPA. Excited to try it again with a more mature palate Troegs - Impending Descent '14: Big ol' RIS that I want in my face like right now. Saint Boniface - Paideia Pale Ale: Never heard of these guys before, but i'm sure I'll enjoy it. Hoppin' Frog. The only brewery that comes close to Fantome in the contest for ratio of Shittiest Label Art compared to Quality of Beer - Barrel Aged BORIS is a monster and I'm glad to have another bottle Dieu du Ciel - Peche Mortel: An absolute classic beer This is an amazing box from @Doogflaggat. Thank you so much. Oh wait...there was one more thing... A CROWLER OF BOURBON SUNNY SIDE from Al's/Pizzaboy!!! Stoked to rip into this one as soon as I have a few backup drinkers to help me down all 32 ounces of it. Family Shot:
Going to bow out of this LIF since I just won @MikeMcGraw's! Now to think of a fun question to have people guess at...
Impressive fellas. Got slammed at work early last week then headed up to the TC/Charlevoix area for a long weekend resulting in me hiding from BA. I come back to 5-6 pages full of awesome boxes, 2-3 new LIFs, people showing off their hardwood floors and pussycats, some great VBS and to top it off, the birth of the newest BA legend, the CIF! As I said impressive! I'm in for the CIF for sure, info to come soon Patrick. Sorry I missed your LIF @MikeMcGraw but I was on hiatus. Obviously it's my bad with all the NE goodness you've been throwing around Ha.. @jschott75 thanks for the chance - I'm going with 411oz Congrat's on the LIF win @sembo as well....
Yeah, all 4 of those are in transit, one to land today, one sent last week that presumably will be landing soon, and I have tracking (that I'm too lazy to look at) for the other two. Unless someone is missing a box that is not one of the 4 mentioned by @Yourahoser, we're set to wrap this* up by week's end. *By "this" I mean "Round 1", not necessarily this thread, which is on pace to continue for a while with the #CIF and talk of an upcoming Round 2.
That's awesome. This BIF was a ton of fun. Can't wait for round 2, excited to put together a better box this time after seeing some of the amazing ones that went out.
Virtual Beer Share, or #VCS for virtual can share, or #VGS for virtual growler share, or #VBAFBS for Virtual Bad Ass Fucking Beer Share.....it goes on and on... Basically it means since we're not drinking together in person I'm drinking with you fellows in spirit.
Box arrived from Greg(@VetsPackage). Seems like some crazy brewery I've never heard of. I'm really not sure on the packaging..... I have to say it gave me a pretty good laugh. Hidden underneath. A whole lot of hops, I'm looking forward to trying. Tree House Julius Tree House Alter Ego Tree House Eureka W Citra X 2 A Berliner style witbier aged on concord grapes grown in his backyard. (this sounds amazing) Maine Another One Tree House Lights On Wormtown Brewery Be Hoppy Looking forward to trying the whole bunch. Thanks Greg.
@Greeny87 and @jrs3994243 "Virtual Bottle Share" which is why we then have can/growler/etc It started as "let's have a virtual bottleshare and all drink the same beers" and quickly became an in-thread version of WBAYDN (sans videos, those aren't permitted round these parts).
