NBS BIF #13: Peninsular Envy 2 (The Rocket-Ball Inception)

Just got home and I've been hit! Looks like the LIF box from @Mbgreg has landed. That box on top is a 12 shipper of 500ml bottles just for size reference... I'd love to get into it but I've got a pickup appointment at noon for what else... MORE BEER! Will have to reveal the contents later on today. Presto says the top box smells like barleywine.

 

Micellaneous explanations and apologies:

#1 Not by much, but still West

#4 They still sell posters around here of the Clowney hit from the 2013 game (yes, I know, but this is Carolina and we have to celebrate what we can)

#5 I guess if you don’t know my hometown this isn’t all that helpful

#6 The 1993 (oof!) Marlboro 500 in the Irish Hills near Ypsilanti. Got to see ‘rookie’ Nigel Mansell win after Andretti turned a 234mph qualifying lap. Cool memory, hadn’t thought about that in years.

#7 Not really a word, more of a feeble attempt to direct you to the Do-Re-Mi scale thing (Solfege scale), only one (major) note is also state abbreviation

#8 I had used Bob Seger as a LIF hint, you know - somewhere in the first 1,000 posts.

#9 If it hadn’t been for @swenny916 I would never had known state fossils were a thing. Learn stuff every time.

And you obviously spotted post 1278

Thanks for your patience - now let’s have some beer!!

 

No need for apologies! It is all in fun. And I did have fun, despite being in the dark for so long. But that's on me, not you! Cheers!

 

My father-in-law’s favorite malt beverage was steel reserve . You can tell that it is quality by the plastic bottle. Was intended as an April Fools prank and I didn’t want to be a complete jerk ( only partial in this instance) without sending some vitaminsea freshness. Can’t wait to see the Miller lite review on Nbw

Seriously Thanks for hosting another fun Bif!

 

Watch this space later for photographic evidence.

I'm excited to try that Nectaron brew. The only place I've seen use Nectaron around here is Four Points, and they did a single hop IPA with it. I had way too much of a stockpile to go pick some up though, so I think this will be my first taste of it. I was excited last night when I thought they'd get here Saturday, but to have them pretty much almost already cold is next level. Thanks again!

 

i meekly stand before this forum, cap in hand. I foolishly suggested that @ovaltine could have been my sender. That allowed @Rub_This_BBQ to claim the prize. Looking at your hints, the following are true : 1,3,4,5,6,7( heck I can see two peninsulas out my back window now), 8,9,10,11,15 and PAINFULLY TRUE#16.

@Xul , am I your target?

 

Welp, you've got me...



...all wrong, as I am not your sender.

 

@2beerdogs, are you my sender? And did I read your steam train clue wrong the first time?

 

When's the malt liquor tasting weekend? Weekend of April 1, 2022? Let's make it happen!

 

OK...Now I am officially paying attention... This hint drops a few of the others off, I'm not sure about Gritty's "sentient" status @FBarber nor @kemoarps character...but

 

Fantastic hit, @Dimidiata. Well done.

 

If there is a “Best Box in the BIF” (TWSS) award, that contest is over.

This is PHENOMENAL. I laughed so hard, I thing I pulled a hammie. Absolutely magnificent, @WunderLlama.

PS: Little O is a BIG fan of Steel Reserve. IJS.

 

I reviewed a 40 of Mickeys last weekend....

 

As has been my habit this week, I will be stopping at USPS later to drop a box(es?) off. Are it/they target box(es), Ninja box(es), revenge box(es), Secret LIF box(es)? Is there only one box? More than 4? Where could the destination(s) be?

 

You have to use moist and meaty in your description...

 

I’ll go hide under the covers ...

 

For us the second was much worse and by much worse I mean I was exhausted and had a bad headache for about two days but that was it.
