    A couple of #VBSs, thanks to @MikeMcGraw and his LIF box

    Super awesome hazy light yellow straw color, haven't had an IPA that looked similar. Light peach and citrus, a dryness/carbonated edge on the backend that gives this some zip and makes me come back for the next drink.

    And more #GreetingCardSwag in the background

    Crushing this delicious offering from Trillium. Such a great, hazy, hoppy beer. Nice dry body makes the hops pop

    Well, that's probably because it's an APA...

    Whirlpool is delicious!

    That's so cute @sembo and @MikeMcGraw ....a 'Whip/Nae Nae' card! :stuck_out_tongue:

    In all seriousness, Whirlpool is great and you can't go wrong with any Trillium! Great beers/breweries!

    damn, you got me!

    Isn't it kind of crazy that both of these beers are APAs? Basically what a single IPA used to be like.

    Pr0n to follow, I've been stuck in jury duty this week so I haven't had much time for action, shipping out a box today.

    I wasn't a fan of a recent batch of whirlpool that I picked up. I am dying to get my hands on more morph, I thought it was the best IPA I have had in a long time but I forget what batch it was.

    Pr0n alert!
    Last week @jshusc started the LIF for his friends in South Carolina. I noticed that two of the Florida guys - @valrxman and @whyteboy003 from The Locals BIF group were kicking in a box or two and I said that I would kick in a box from Florida as well seeing as how our great state has a rep as a Porch Destroyer. A short time later he asked if I needed any Last Snow or a semi-recently released beer from Funky Buddha. My Last Snows I had shared with 2 of you all but I had not tried the other beer. Yesterday this showed up...

    1st of all, Steve must have known that I had given away my 2 Westbrook Goses from @LehighAce06 to my drinking buddies because these appeared.

    Next up
    1 want in Olde Hickory Lindley Park (BBA raspberry stout, hello!)
    A new brewery tick with Green Man The Dweller

    Then the Coup de Grace
    Funky Buddha Morning Wood :grimacing::grimacing::grimacing: Super Want

    [​IMG]steve was so much more gracious with this box. He would not let me send a label and only asked that if i make a Cycle release to grab him a bottle. He is the man and a great example of the BA community. Super Thanks!

    By the way everybody needs to run over and donate to the cause. Great boxes out there - the Florida boxes - Ermagerd!
    The money will go to a family that really needs it.

    @LehighAce06 was that a better rendition of a pr0n post? I shit the bed with your BIF box. I've been meaning to redeem myself

    LOL first off it's all good man, of course we all appreciate having the box we sent be shown off, but mostly that's because it shows that the recipient liked what they got. Your inexperience with posting pron was not confused with displeasure.

    To answer your question, yes that is a solid pron post. The only suggestion I'd make is a "family shot" at the end.

    Thanks @Yourahoser and @LehighAce06. Already seen some of these "newbies" check in, but if encourage everyone to venture over, look at the madness in generosity that is this BA community, and think about chipping in. There is a lot of goodies to be had for a great family in need!

    Cheers all and by my judgment you have ALL acquitted yourselves very well and I'd consider you more than welcome in any BIF I'm in going forward.

    Please post some #VBS when you crack them open and let me know what you think.
    Cheers

    Gah, forgot about family shot. I will say that doing pr0n photos on my crappy old Galaxy S3 is...no bueno. Took me about 35 minutes.

    Definitely. The Morning Wood will be shared with a drinking buddy or two of mine when we also crack open his No Rules. That will be a good time.

    Yeah it will, No Rules is fantastic, and I haven't gotten one yet but I don't imagine Morning Wood will be anything less.

    I am sure @LehighAce06 has you on his preliminary list already.... if not- you are on the radar once you get a sponsor.
