Newbie BIF Hints & Hauls

Hello you beautiful well-traveled cushions.

 

Those cushions have seen more of this country than I have.

 

And now the the important shots of the red cushions are taken care of on to the beer:

(Apologies for the picture orientation, photobucket and I are not getting along today)

EvilTwin Imperial Biscotti Break - Have had a few bottles of this but always gave them away, now I get to finally drink a beer that's right in my wheelhouse.
Firestone Walker 18th Anniversary - Big time want, just got a bottle of 17 from @Amarangakis in this BIF.
Deep Ellum BA Four Swords - New one for me, sounds tasty.
Ranger Creek Small Batch 11 Apricot Sour - Yes please!
Lakewood French Quarter Temptress - Loved Temptress and BA Temptress, pumped to get one of the variants!
Clown Shoes Josh the Revelator - I always enjoy Clown Shoes, should have been a want.
Jester King Biere De Miel - Love Jester King, excited to see this one in the box.

Wow, what a killer box Patrick! I'll try and keep the love moving forward, not sure if I can replicate that packing job but I'll give it a shot!

Cheers!

 

4 nice and tasty TX brews!!

 

Enjoy! I think French Quarter is my favorite of the variants and I figured that Apricot Sour would be something you would like.

Cheers!

 

I haven't had their French Quarter. When I was living in Dallas, their Temptress was one of my favorites. Hell even when they had a "choco-pebbles" temptress, that was good too!

 

Do the variants make it down your way?

 

They don't get here to San Antonio and I think only 2 places in Austin gets some of their brews. When I'm in town visiting, I normally bring me back a couple of 4 packs.

 

I posted an LIF over in the locals thread that is open to any participants of the newbies BIF and CIF

Thanks @Greeny87 for the chance

 

That Ranger Creek is fuckin tasty. Like 80s hair metal guitar licks tasty.

 

Really? I passed on it based on the thread in the SW forum, seemed like the consensus is not good. I may have to go back for one

 

Closed out my boxes contents today. Thanks for the great beers @pnelting ! Will need more Yellow Rose in the future!

#VCS of Peticolas Velvet Hammer

 

Glad you enjoyed! Looks like that crowler still had plenty of carb.
