8 Crazy Nights BIF: Hints & Hauls

Real funny, jerkweed! I love sports, especially when they're featured on Groupon - I get a free hot dog and everything! I remember IST being a very easy-drinking, balanced & all-around solid brew! Plus the Star Wars thing really gets my nerd-juice flowing.

 

Nerrrrds!

 

Night #6, and this haul is officially starting to turn into a masterpiece.

Tonight we reveal Great Divide Barrel Aged Hibernation 750ml:




I love Great Divide, but very little of their limited stuff makes it here. Big want.

boatshoes is crushing it!

Haul summary:

Beer #1: Upslope Whiskey Barrel Aged Export Stout 32oz growler
Beer #2: Alaskan Smoked Porter 22oz

Ok iadler I'm onto you. Night six? Surly Syx! Another want. Knocking it out of the park!! Photo evidence with cat and dog photobomb. I can't wait for tomorrow night for the Surly Seven!

 

DFH World Wide Stout. - Label is different color from bottle #1. I'm going to go ahead and assume it's a different vintage?

Yummy, can't wait to drink.

 

DFH dates on the neck in very fine print. You can probably find it if you hold it in the light and look closely.

 

Bottle number 5 is...cascade cerise nouveau! Fantastic!!

 

Holy moly, perfect timing - just about to walk out the door! I'm glad you like it! Just a heads-up, the brewers do not recommend aging that one...their intent was for it to be consumed within 2-3 months. Cheers!

 

I pushed on the bottom of the bottle number 6 today and it didn't feel like a 750 HF wine bottle again. So after unwrapping I discovered a bottle of Founders Bolt Cutter I am excited to receive another one of these (I just got one in the Barrel Aged BIF). I am going to be opening this one on Saturday and looking forward to trying it. This was another want hit for the big Mista!! Founders is a favorite of mine.



Beer 1: Minneapolis Town Hall Brewing - Citra Strong Pale Ale
Beer 2: Steel Toe Brewing - Wee Heavy Scotch Ale
Beer 3: New Glarus Brewing - Wisconsin Belgian Red
Beer 4: New Glarus Brewing - Serendipity

Thanks for the info--I will make sure to crack this one open ASAP. Enjoy the game!

 

Night 5: Simtra triple IPA
Night 6: Black Butte XXIV (Want)

 

No kidding, opened up a Kentucky Dark Star this evening, thought I had that on my wants, so I'm even more stoked! Thanks Matt, can't wait for the rest!

 

Night six, Thanks alot rjm217. This was another want!

 

Big fan of Fremont, obviously. Was debating making it the Night 7 beer, but time will tell what that bottle is. Hint W:G ratio is over 13.

 

Tonight I was pleased to unwrap a bottle of 2011 Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze, one of my favorites and a perma-want. Cheers!

I saw your target just opened this same bottle the night before, and I'm thinking to myself "what are the odds of that". First time I've ever felt bad about sending out a Hill Farmstead bottle. Hopefully you like it, but if not, feel free to use it as trade bait...
