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

Yeah, I really loved Cloudy With A Chance Of Dobis, and I totally agree with your assessment. The juice level was so off the charts that I didn't really notice any lacking in feel. I was just so blown away that an IPA could hit that level of juiciness without needing to push into DIPA territory. I have a good friend that lives in Oakland, and I've been riding him hard to get himself some Cellarmaker after my experiences with them.

 

Aw, man, now you’ve got me missing Cellarmaker.

 

It's already Saturday in Kiribati. START THE THREAD!!!!!!!!!!

I have 5 or 6 steps that lead up to my porch. The FedEx driver did the bare minimum getting a box up them today and left it cantilevered a bit over the edge of the stoop. I shook my head and reminded myself that he didn't know the high value of the contents inside. Then I attempted to move it inside. I'm pretty sure that @Dimidiata just put a boulder in here. I'm sorry that I ever underestimated your work ethic, FedEx man. I hope you have a break coming soon.

Meanwhile, my work of unpacking this box is just beginning. I have to drive my wife to the chiropractor in about 5 minutes, so it will have to wait until I get back. It's like a kid waking up on Christmas morning and being told that he has to wait until the afternoon to open anything. In the meantime, even Gilbert is looking at this box and judging all of us and our beer enthusiasm.

For the next hour and a half I'm going to be looking at this picture like...

 

Question for the group--- How long before we start this one up again?

I am thinking about doing My Can-Can Bif -- "Let me see your Can-Cans 12 the Covid continues". With sign ups in May and boxes landing around July 4th. What do guys and Gal think?

 

In my defense, I did say ALL so I did not exclude myself for the statement and the UPS. Fedex and my family all would include as bat shit crazy!!!!

I could not agree more @Roguer High 3 is a still a great beer we are are spoiled with having the chance to taste some of the best out there.

There could be a whole thread on ratings. Not applicable to this group but in general it seems too many people base their ratings/feelings on beer based on others. Instead of just tasting the beer and rate on itis own.

People inflate ratings to all the time to try and make beer more tradeable (this is one of the main reasons I got out of the trading game and love this format so much more.

 

Count me in!!!! July 4 beers

 

I missed an opportunity to include PEEPs in the box. damnit my brain.
Everything is fantastic. Those meads were sent to me from a buddy in Vermont. They are not traditional super sweet and thick meads. I had to include them.
That Full Circle is what Coors Light should taste like. One of the best Light Lagers I have ever had.
Enjoy.

 

FTFY.

 

Roughly, our "official share dates" are Easter-ish (depending on how it lands), and Columbus day (early October). About 6 months apart. Not too hot or cold for shipping.

And yes, I think a Can-Cans for 4th of July is a grand idea, and I'm in!

 

There have been many over the years. here's a recent-ish one:

Well as a lager lover my plan this weekend was to tap 2 kegs of home brew (Schwarz & German pils) since my lager supply was low, But thanks to @ovaltine and his super beer nerd like Spidey senses those plans will have to wait.

the porch bomb that was dropped on me was all lagers and I could not be happier to dig and try a new to me brewery.


Thank you!!! Mike

 

FTFYA.

 

The glass will hold an entire crowler.

I conducted a personal experiment - for science, of course.

 

@swenny916

The carnage that these boxes created was beautiful. I appreciate the mix of beers that you amassed on my doorstep. Thank You, kind sir! The Sweet Hot Mustard is very tasty, especially on freshly grilled sausages. An order of mustard is my near future. The BKS glass is awesome.

Thank you for your Charity. Beer boxes are eclipsing Christmas presents.

 

I am glad we can rely on science!

 

Killer Haul Well done!

 

In the name of science I had to confirm @ovaltine hypothesis the Crowler would fit in the stein

I can confirm it does

Review in process but crisp and tasty for sure
