    BIF box landed a few days ago from @corm44. Lot's of new beers and new breweries.
    First up the cans. I've enjoyed everything I've tried from Grimm, Lawson's, Hoof. Looking forward to checking out the others.

    Boom! @max13 hit me with some whales. I asked for 2 beers this round since I have been trying to drink down my stash. He technically only sent 4 beers since one bottle was Pips Mead! Cranberry with orange blossom honey. This is my first Pips and I’m stoked to try it.
    The beers are:
    Une Anneé BA Feats of Strength- sounds amazing.
    Free Will Olly- this was already consumed. Super tart with dark fruits and oak. Solid.
    Une Anneé Le Grand Monde- BA wild ale with black raspberries. Black raspberries happen to be one of my favorite berries.
    Imperial SLBS decadent- I realized I had a small pour of this at Wakefest and really liked it. Can’t wait to enjoy a full bottle!
    Great box, @max13 and thank you for sticking to my stipulations within reason! Fantastic box!!

    @Elneenee and @Elkevjoe dropped this incredible and fully unexpected ninja box at my porch two weeks ago:
    [​IMG]
    The box included a variety of whales: JO Double Barrel Aphrodite and Appervation, Lil’ Beaver BA Whole Lotta Maple, Bells Expedition stout, 6 Masthead cans, 5 of which were exquisitely juicy IPAs I already crushed, HHF Roller Blabe 3DH and Don’t Microwave It Blood Orange, Hop Juju and new brewery tick Urban Artifact. A wonderful box that overwhelmed with generosity and left me feeling inadequate in return-fire and ninja box arena, haha. Thank you Kevin and Renee!

Thank you Con for such a generous box!

    This past weekend I was down in FL for Huna, and met up with a couple of Newbies that, for some odd reason, thought that I needed some more beer.

    First I met up with @Burrass he handed me this, which was claimed by my wife. I'm not even going to argue with her since she had to put up with all of my nonsense this weekend. Thanks again Matt!

    [​IMG]

    Then on Sunday, I decided to take a little road trip accords the state and meet up with both @CBrodbeck and @HeartofMiami I made the mistake of meeting Jared at his house first, who was ready to drop a damn unexpected bomb on me; I should have known better :rolling_eyes: Thanks again, Jared!

    Don’t play Mr. Innocent @azuelke . In all fairness, I made the mistake of asking Adam for a few of the latest Cycle releases...

    [​IMG]
    Did not expect one of Every. Single. Beer. Cycle had in their taproom :flushed: Plus, plenty of Wisconsin extras from Eagle Park, 1840 and Central Waters too.

    Thanks Adam...looks like I’ll be back to sending out some boxes again!
