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

This BIF:

 

Medium sized USPS flat rate box.

No biggie, right?
Wrong.



@JayORear conducted a master class-level surgical strike of hoppy beers at my porch with exceptional packing efficiency.
That's 128oz packed into that medium-sized box, all hoppy, all pretty damn fresh.
The weapons used:
1xTIRED HANDS DDH Extra Extra Knuckle (Galaxy)
1xNEW TRAIL Field
1xTIRED HANDS DDH Death Tripper (Citra & Simcoe [I think, the stamp is a little smudged])
1xLITTLE LOG CABIN Perfect Feeling
1xSLICE Blinding Sunset (I sense he had help getting this one. Could @Dimidiata have been involved?)
1xTIRED HANDS DDH Coconut Alien Church (Motueka)
1xTIRED HANDS DDH Weed eater
1xTIRED HANDS TDH Punge
Looks like I'm gonna be drinking a lot of hoppy beers in the near future.

Thanks, Jay!

 

Expect multiple strikes, my friend. And yes, @Dimidiata was helpful in procuring Blinding Sunset. That may not be the last Slice beer you see, either . . .

 

This news has prompted a little excitement at woemad world headquarters.

 

California folks have to stick together to spread the left coast goodies to all parts of the US (and Canada). Jay isn't the only one I've conspired with to get beers for targets this round - those North Park beers in the box I sent @Pinz412 were courtesy of @Xul. I have a suspicion those aren't the only North Park beers flying around right now either...

 

Another hit from @BBThunderbolt ?! Kiribati is going to run out of beer at this rate. Terry is a madman!

 

So we're all invited, right?

So you need 44-66oz of each beer? Or looking for a bomber of each?

Modern Times makes a barleywine called Altar of the Orc Lord that comes either barrel-aged in a variety of different options or with adjuncts like coffee and chocolate. It's not a super traditional barleywine but it's got your basic barleywine notes of caramel/dark fruits. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, I can help you out.

 

Sure, the more the merrier!

How much beer always depends on how many folks come to the thing, we've had more than 20, but in general, folks tend to bring about as much as they want to drink, and a couple of the Hobos tend to bring a lot more than is needed. I can hit you up when we get closer to the date (which we haven't exactly decided on yet, prolly 2nd-3rd weekend of May) and work out the details. Thanks for the offer!

 

I've been hit! After a long day filled with lots of driving, there are few sights better than a box waiting for you by the front door when you finally get home.

Check out these awesome upper Midwest goodies from @Victory_Sabre1973

Awesome Eponymous glass

James, this all looks amazing, and I can't wait to dig in. New beers, new breweries, new states...lots of new ticks! Thank you!!!!

 

My box didn't land today (according to tracking), so maybe tomorrow or Monday.

Just remember; I've mailed boxes every day this week. Not only to my target. None of you are safe!

 

Hope you like it. The 2nd box will be going out soon.

 

Dan's back yard ain't that big, if all y'all are coming over, we might need to move it to Justin's house. RSVP pleeeze!

 

I'll see what I can do. Barleywines have traditionally been rare on the ground around here, but there's a couple floating around right now.

 

There is a local apiary group and I’ve considered raising bees myself. Love honey in beer ( Hoplslam) and recently had hot honey on pizza which is awesome

<insert eyeballs emoji here> This may have inspired an addition to your box, not that there weren't already a few of this style included.

Great hit by @JayORear! I can personally vouch that Blinding Sunset is drinking great right now!

I raised an eyebrow when I saw the contents of @woemad's box. When I saw that North Park was from down in San Diego I also wondered. Rest assured that the leg work is much appreciated! I'm hoping to get into at least one of those North Park cans today!

Not sure where my final quote went, but great hit by @Victory_Sabre1973 as well!

 

Last clue since I want to send out the first box tomorrow.

Hint 1 - I've never shipped to my target before
Hint 2 - My box is leaving my time zone
Hint 3 - I don't seem to do this that often in BIFs, but I'm shipping west.
Hint 4 - The avocado capital of the world sounds fun, but my box isn't heading to that state.
Hint 5 - The state my box is traveling to has a state fossil.
Hint 6 - My target has both letters and numbers in his/her screen name.
Hint 7 - I've been to 43 states, but my target's is not one of them. The closest chance I had was when I was a college intern for a Pioneer League baseball team.
Hint 8 - "How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?"
Hint 9 - Surprisingly, we share three numbers in our screen name.

 

@JayORear with the Tired Hands hit. Most excellent.
