2019 March Madness Survivor Pool

So much chalk is making these next couple picks difficult. So many different strategies...

 

Thinking @swenny916 and I will have the same pick again and likely through the end of this soiree as it now comes down to limited choices having already picked most of the survivors already. @Woody1180 likely has different pick from the two of us today and tomorrow.

Also, if any of us do survive today and tomorrow, we'll likely have run out of bullets...………….

 

Yep, great minds think alike??

 

Well, need Purdue to win or it’s over!

 

I cannot believe that ending of Purdue just watched the highlights after passing out w 5 minutes left. This was an awesome pool hope we can do it again next year. Thanks @MastaaaGrillaaa

 

Congrats! Was going to be hard to get you today anyways, but quite the finish in the Purdue game.

 

Two ridiculous boxes arrived yesterday. Everything new outside of Darkness which is a huge favorite and now I’ll finally get to try the BA version as well. Had a couple of the IPAs last night and I have to say MN is doing a great job w these NEIPA and fruit smoothies. Thanks @mnbearsfan & @holzwama and friend. Still can’t beleive how many beers those boxes had!!!

 

I just realized that only one of the pictures shows up above but there is another if you click on the link with another 10 or so cans that were all so good. Drank most of the IPAs this weekend during masters. Really liked the Junkyard Growler and the Fruitsmack IPA.

 

Received my first second place box from @maxcoinage.

• Pliny the Elder - First beer I ever traded for. Permawant
• Russian River Sanctification
• Weldwerks Nutty Bar Stout
• Barebottle Mini Muir
• Forbidden Root Radio Swan
• Altamont Hella Hoppy
• Hoof Hearted Slo Turbo

Thanks for the awesome box!

 

Glad everything arrived safe. Years of packing helps everything fit in there. Glad you enjoyed!

 

Box arrived from @jpatag66 took me a bit to post pictures because I have a horrible cold right now so it’s killing me not to open these Crowlers.

 

Second and final box landed today from @MastaaaGrillaaa and it was so big I had trouble getting them all in a picture!



Thanks again as I think it's 13, that's right, 13 new ticks!

 

@jpatag66 holy smokes this MT5 is insane thank you so much for sending. A few of their offerings make it out here but nothing like this. Is this one of the better beers they have ever brewed? Wow

 

Yeah, that's one of their best. It's a DDH version of their 5th anniversary beer so this is probably a one off. Glad to here you liked it.

 

Is there anything better than a great box arriving on your doorstep the Friday before a three day holiday weekend?

Many thanks to @SP23 for this arrival today with a great mix of west coast treats. Nice mix too of hoppy pils, milk stout, wheatwine, imperial stout, and IPAs. All fresh ticks and I’m hitting two shares this weekend so timing was perfect. Thank you very much Joe for the generous box!

 

Per my picture in the post above, I had to laugh at the label that’s hard to read and do a double take to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me with the name of the beer. Immediately I thought of going up to the bar and telling the beertender I’ll have a .....,,

@MastaaaGrillaaa is this going to be a thing this year ?

 

Unless we have a big turnout, this site looks cheaper. I'm fine buying/splitting it. This one is a lot of fun.
