    I enjoy lying to quasi-governmental employees - makes me feel NAUGHTY.

    Cracked into this BA French Toast Stout from @Dragginballs76 this afternoon... True to its name straight through sweet and creamy!
    Thanks Mike!

    That is a good point I may have to look into it. I was ready to try some USPS boxes until I got these last few and they were leaking. I was worried it was something in a hub near me since the boxes were all packaged well and were clearly punctured through the side or kicked all the way to my house.

    I'm still iffy on shipping bottles, a couple fails, but mostly success. But for cans, it can't be beat. For the other BIF I'm in right now, I just shipped 12-12oz cans, well padded, with some stickers and coasters. Will hit tomorrow. Dropped at my PO about 4:30pm Pacific time yesterday, going to the NE: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConf...=2&text28777=&tLabels=9505506631318283007239,

    Another from @TheDoctor. Fantastic Brett Saison. Lasting fluffy head retention and thick foamy lacing on the glass. Aromas and flavors of big lightly tart lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, pineapple, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, berries, peppercorn, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, cork, and oak; with moderate wheat, cracker, white bready malts; lighter notes of leathery/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Moderate peppery yeast spiciness; light herbal/floral/grassy bitterness, and Brett tang/tartness on the finish. High carbonation, light-medium body, and moderately crisp/clean finishing. Balanced bready/grainy malts and sticky hops in the mouthfeel; light acids/tang, and oak tannins. Moderately increasing spicy/carbonated dryness, no astringency. Very flavorful/refreshing, 5.2%. Awesomely well rounded funky Brett/Saison yeast complexity; nice pale/wheat malt backbone, and oak barrel presence. Amazing stuff for the overall style. 4.28

    Wait, that's not the Your Mom On French Toast that was discussed earlier in the thread, is it?

    @Dragginballs76 my wife said “ you got a box from some guy named Mike, it’s liquid”. I confirmed the last name with her. I’m currently in northern Michigan so I’ll have to post the damage tomorrow. Speed limits be damned!

    Is that a thing you're actually concerned with? I mean, when BIF beers are involved.

    Well, I DO have a badge to get out of such things...If my car could drive 150mph, I’d be home much sooner.

    If you object to this beer you should speak now or forever hold your tongue.

    Hey man, if the shoe fits...

    Incidentally, I've granted myself diplomatic immunity. I'm not sure if that's exactly how it works, but no more beer for me. I've already got like 2.5 livers worth I need to work through.

    And my dumb ass has bought beer 2 out of the last 3 days... because one of you inspired me to see how many different marzens/ fest biers I could gather for a very long tailgate saturday (10 so far) and today I decided this was the year I stop screwing around and just buy a case of Bell's Third Coast Old Ale. I love that beer with 2+ years on it.

    I love Third Coast as well.
    Apparently there is a BA Third Coast being released this year. Might be a Michigan only release though.
