Halle Berry's pet Octopus: NBS BIF 8

I can say with 100% certainty that I have determined my Sender to be @LloydDobler

However, this was not determine by keen detective skills or by my incredible sense of logical reasoning. No, it was determined when he hit me hard with a box of cans today. I will post photos later.

 

First gimme hint for next round, @WesMantooth is shipping within a 2 day delivery radius

 

I’m calling you out, @WesMantooth! You’re my sender in the NBS BIF 9: Beer Wars. Can’t wait for those tasty-looking Jackie Os!

 

Hint #1. Between 4 and 30 of my target's state would fit into mine.
Hint #2. My target makes frequent trips to a brewery that I would trade for in a heartbeat.
Hint #3. My target has visited my state before.
Hint #4. My metro area's population exceeds the population of my target's entire state.
Hint #5. Target has at least 5000 likes.
Hint #6. Target's avatar is not a photo of them.
Hint #7. Only one U.S. president has hailed from my target's state.
Hint #8. Target has traveled outside their state for beer in the last two weeks.

 

You must have missed my last hint this morning...

 

Had a shitty thing happen today. I knew a porch bomb was going to land so I waited as long as I could to leave for work. Wouldn't you know as I'm pulling out of my neighborhood FedEx was pulling in. Feeling a bit sick, may have to leave work early... My neighbor sat the boxes inside, **** to follow when I get home.

 

Nice @thebeers !

 

You did come on kinda strong there...

 

I’m gonna say this is me.

Calling you out!

 

I thought you were going to get some if the goods, but you were just outside of the 2 day area for UPS.

If they would just let me put dry ice on a plane it wouldn’t be a problem. Which is weird because when I have come back on hunting trips the airline has. Although one of them asked me if there was any while making eye contact and shaking their head no, so...

 

I second this opinion!

Ew. So sorry to hear that.

I've had a box returned, opened, where they wrote in all caps and permanent markers 'BEER' all over it so I couldn't just repack it and send it back out... as if I only had one box

Totally agree on the 'hope he joins round 9 sentiment.'

Ahead of their time. A number of those nineties teams were just a decade or so early in their styles... trying to spread the floor with shooters during a post/mid-range era. My Sonics could fall under that category too... Schrempf and Sam Perkins as the early prototypes for the stretch four/stretch five...
I miss the Sonics

 

SO I received box number 1 "THE CAN BOX" from the great and wonderful @LloydDobler . I have to say that the tone of this box was very aggressive.
First off there was this

This was not an effort to share his favorite character from the Funny books. This was intended and viewed as a threat that he was going to punish me.

Next up was a very nice hand written note. At first I thought he was letting me know that he pulled a train in D.C. with Judge Kavanaugh. If only that were true. Instead it was laced with threats as to what he plans to do to my porch and my liver.

this is the Transient portion of the Box

This box includes:
Cromulent (x2), The Juice is Loose (x2), Yer Man (x2), Flightless and Softly Spoken Ryes. I have had Cromulent and Juice is Loose before and they are booth excellent. Based on that I am really looking forward to try the others that are al new to me.


From 18th Street-Here Comes the Reaper (x2), Villan (x2) Candy Crushable, Sunking-Osiris and Drain the Swamp. These are all new beers to me.

Incredible Job sir and thank you so much.

 

Nothing cures a shitty day surrounded by 12 year olds like coming home to a box from @Dragginballs76 containing your FAVORITE GOD DAMN BEER OF ALL TIME.

This is the beer I called “amazeballs” on my most-wanted list, so Mike goes and send me one?!? My sweet jesus lord. I’ve had it a few times, but only in 2oz pours. My head is still spinning.

Then all these cans! Apparently my ninja game isn’t strong enough because this is just crazy. All of the cans are new to me.

(Left to Right)
- Westbrook: Citra Brut
- Heist: Citraquenchl crowler
- Heist: Native Flightless Bird
- Burial: Resurrection of Riches
- Heist: Phoenix Trail
- Heist: Boy Dance Party
- Resident Culture: Thunder Study

Still can’t get over this being a ninja box. I need to do better next time. Thanks so much Mike!

 

That's our first official haul post yeah? Like the first picture of an official BIF box being opened (the rest of the pics having previously been ninja boxes?)

EDIT: first two now, as the amazaballs box was posted as I was posting this comment
EDIT EDIT: didn't read the above post and realize who it was from and what it's nature was... still just the one official haul post thusfar.
Also, holy shit that was a ninja box? From my sender? Uh oh....

 

Wow! Both look outstanding!!!

 

Glad to make your day, hope you enjoy everything!!
