Damn sorry about the busted bottle. Looks like it was a shelfie JK so not a huge loss. Hope you enjoy everything brother, happy anniversary!
My porch is now officially done thanks to @jschott75 (What a cool thing to get a box from my first sender [Jim] a year later!) and @valrxman. It's a good thing I'm moving next week! Half Acre Navaja DIPA - Drank this the other night. Very tasty! 4 Hands Preserved Lemon Gose -Sounds awesome! 4 Hands Key Lime Gose Contact High - Tried this earlier. Refreshing on this swampy, humid day. GI BCBW: Super pumped for this! Didn't get to try this year's yet. GI BCBS: Always a fantastic brew. Looking forward to doing a side by side with.... 2014 BCBS! Almanac Tropical Platypus - The description sounds fantastic alone. Not sure if I had listed this as a want, but it should've been if not. Off Color Scurry - Just finished this minutes ago. Haven't had many altbiers, but this one was really solid. Pipeworks Pistachio Abduction - Love the Abductions that I've had. Looking forward to this. Thank you so much, Jim!!!! Steve straight up KOd my porch right after Jim. J Wakefield Street Fruit - Wakefield never disappoints. Can't wait for this. CCB Marshal Zhukov - Had before in a small pour. Pumped to revisit this. CCB Cafe Americano Stout - Definitely wanted to check this one out. Excited for this as well. Civil Society Bench Buddies DIPA and Dankstar Pale - This will most likely not last through the weekend. Funky Buddha Swag - Sticker and MBCP bag. Awesome! FB Wide Awake It's Morning FB French Toast FB Sticky Treats FB Maple Bacon Coffee Porter FB Sweet Potato Casserole FB Blueberry Cobbler Wow. I've had all but Sticky Treats and Blueberry Cobbler (will crack ST from @Yourahoser soon), and I am beyond thrilled to have an opportunity to try and share again. FB is fanfriggintastic. Walking Tree Brewery glass swag action!! Family shot. You Locals are awesome. Thank you so much, Steve!! Happy Anny weekend, everybody!
Happy anniversary Andy and all the Newbies. Keep up the good work and remember to Beer it Forward, NOT Backwards
Super excited about this. @beluga92 sent a box loaded with beers all wrapped up. One is marked to be opened on 8/27. I know one of the beers I'll be enjoying tomorrow. Two very generous boxes two days in a row.
#VBS from @beluga92 Tasted like a really light sour, maybe with apricots...First beer that came to mind was Apricot Stonington. Boy I was way off... Damn, I'm gonna have to make it out east soon! Newbie BS 1.0 maybe? Thanks Stephen!
Came home today to an incredible box from local @PA-Michigander. Thank you, truly, the gesture is very appreciated. Have to run out for a bit, but a full post will follow later tonight.
@Elkevjoe nice, that's my favorite hf 'shelf' beer. I get why you pick up a bit of fruit on it, I think it's an awesome summer beer.
OK, so tomorrow I'm going to do some drunken gambling on some horse races. Question #1: will I win or lose money? Question #2: how much money will I win or lose? I will send out a box to the person who gets #1 right and then comes closest to the correct answer to #2. Tag me in your answers so that I hopefully don't miss one. I'll leave it open to guesses until Tuesday night at 10pm eastern time. Good luck! p.s.- if I break even, everybody loses
In a continued string of Locals-on-Newbies bombing, came home to an (overnighted!) amazing box from @vitaminvert. This is pretty much a Colorado all-star box of wants, with a few amazing out of state kickers: Fiddlehead Mastermind - long term want Odd 13 Codename Superman - had Hoparella very recently, put O13 on my high interest list Focal Banger - had my first one 2 weeks ago, amazing, sharing this one around tonite Casey The Cut: Apricot - wow! long term want Casey Family Preserve Blueberry - wouldn't dream of getting a CFP bottle anytime soon Casey Oak Theory - long term want, again Avery Tweak - another very long Central Waters Barleywine - a want, again Crooked Stave L'Brett - loved any CS I've had It came along with a very eloquent letter that makes this all seem just so fantastic in the BIF world. Thank you Andrew!
