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

semi-sorta-kinda hint: I specifically purchased a thing I despised to include in my next box to my target.

 

Well, shit. I had skimmed through a link about his Super Bowl wins and wasn't paying close enough attention - it was the Rams twice, not the Eagles. Apologies to those of you who are fans - please don't send Gritty to murder me in my sleep.

 

I like your version better @Xul

 

I try to like every post in these threads, but I just can't do this one.

Immaculate reception MY ASS!!!!!

Well, there was one. Uhh, I don't want to be too disparaging, but I have had it before. And while I did rate it, I did not review it. But now that it's been sent my way, I feel I must give it another...(shudder/twitch)...er um, well, another...Shall I say "chance.?

I'd better mention this. @woemad gave me the clue that hit me over the head with a sledgehammer that he was my sender, after giving a clue that he wasn't. Well. Said clue is about the college hockey team from the college that I graduated from back 25 years ago.
The SCSU Huskies are now in the Frozen Four of the NCAA Playoffs. Too bad Herb Brooks isn't alive to see the program he got to D1 hockey be there. I'm sure their former coach Craig Dahl, who was a customer at my restaurant, before he left the area, is happy. I don't follow it as much, since I don't have TV anymore, because ditching cable 10 years ago, and being in a TV antenna dead zone, Also I have no idea where I can find it on the radio here.
I really wish the kids well, and hope they win it all.

 

Enjoyed this one, another one, from the Wundebar @WunderLlama
Due North by Vitamin Sea Brewing


Thanks to @WunderLlama for this juicy gem.
A solid IPA. Slightly hazy gold in color. Abundant fluffy head. Decent retention. Scattered lacing.
Nose pumps orange zest, mango, pineapple, and a smooth grainy note.
Flavor follows pretty faithfully with orange and mango taking the lead. Some drops of cantaloupe and maybe some peach come in as well. Slightly sweet with a subtle bitterness on the back end.
Carbonation is active but not overbearing. Full enough to be a great beer.

Oh, Tired Hands hits are appreciated round these parts?....

 

Amazing in all respects. One question, though, re: Star Wars/Disney; are you a fan of The Mandalorian? I resisted watching it for a long time but ended up really enjoying it.

 

There is no resistance; you will be assimilated.

Oh, wait, wrong reference.

Of course you enjoyed that show - It is the way.

I still have a tough time seeing any relation or similarity to Boba Fett. But as one was from my youth (Good grief those are old movies!) I may be misremembering. Or overthinking it.

 

box 1 going out today with a little bit of everything.. some BA stout, something sour, something crushable,

Traveling to a state that touches the great lakes

 

All is made clear in Season Two; the relation is very explicit.
