8 Crazy Nights BIF: Hints & Hauls

It's ok. It was one of the few wants on my targets list that i could actually hit and my wants sure isn't the easiest either.

I liked the name and the beer itself looked interesting when I saw it in another BIF, so I checked it off on the wants.

Beer #2: Alaskan Smoked Porter 22oz

Another fine bottle in a fantastic box. Can't wait for #8. I'll be out tomorrow night though, so super late post, if not Sunday morning...

 

Flat-out, that's gotta be one of the finest beer names ever.

 

7th night, 6th bottle...

Another nice bottle from Matt again tonight, a 2010 Le Serpent from Snake River! I had a 2009 of this beer back in the day and really enjoyed it, looking forward to it again! Looking forward to the final bottle tomorrow as well, and I'll post a photo of the whole lineup then.

 

Day 1: DFH 90 Min IPA growler
Day 2: DFH World Wide Stout 2010
Day 3: New Glarus Raspberry Tart
Day 4: Troegs Mad Elf
Day 5: Alesmith Speedway Stout
Day 6: DFH World Wide Stout 2011
Day 7: Troegs Perpetual IPA - Never tried, but always down for a good IPA

 

Thanks for the heads up, I must have had blurry vision when I looked at it originally. Looks like I have a 2010 and a 2011.

 

Bottle number 7 was a bottle that Mista posted in the beginning of the BIF where he had people vote on their top 4 - little did I know I happened to be sealing my fate (and glad that I did). My package revealed a 2012 Hunahpu's Imperial Stout. I haven't had this beer since last year and it was 18 months old - glad to try it at 9 months old to see what it is like more fresh! Thanks!!

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
Beer 5: Hill Farmstead - Vera Mae
Beer 6: Founders - Bolt Cutter
Beer 7: Cigar City Brewing - Hunahpu's Imperial Stout (2012)
Beer 8: ??? - Sad this is gonna be over

 

Day 7: opened up a HotD Cherry Adam from the Wood tonight! Another long time want. Thank you so much!! I am both excited and sad to open tomorrow's bottle. I can't wait to open up what is sure to be another killer bottle, but I don't want to get to the end! Matt, if you just want to go ahead and keep sending me a bottle a day indefinitely, that would be great

 

Late to the party, but still made it none the less. Day 7 reveals another want! But you guys should just know that already. This time it's Barrel Roll No 4 Hammerhead! Never had any of these before so I'm pumped to have a chance to give this a try. Can't wait to see what day 8 brings but know it will be sad to open the last present.

 

Our fearless leader and Mista took off on a beer run today. Hence the delay in their posts.

 

Hoarders.

 

Back from the beer run and doing my civil duty and posting today's bottle

Day#1 - Night Shift Brewing - Taza Stout
Day#2 - Jack's Abbey - Kiwi Rising BA 94
Day#3 - Jack's Abbey - Hoponius Union BA 95
Day#4 - Struise Tsjeeses Reserva (Bourbon Barrel Aged) - De Struise Brouwers
Day#5 - Struise Tsjeeses Reserva (Porto Barrel Aged) - De Struise Brouwers
Day#6 - HF Vera Mae​

Day#7 - Night Shift Brewing - Fallen Apple​

 

you better love it - I had to order more Noyaux online because I sent you my last bottle! And it was a want... tomorrow is the doozy - Mike's Lite! I feel a little bad since you picked up a case today with Mista

Looks interesting - sounds like it has potential - nice packaging - never had anything from them.

Amateurs... that's a lot of Abyss - don't you know that this year isn't very good?!

 

Night Shift is a new brewery around here that is really trying to emulate The Bruery - packaging, experimental nature, taproom, and they started up a Barrel Aged Reserve Society for 2013 which I joined. It could be a bust, but if not, they're someone I expect you'll hear a lot more about on the trading scene next year. They have improved their beers a lot over the last 6 months, so they're going in the right direction.

I only got two bottles of Fallen Apple, and I haven't tried mine yet (probably on Christmas). It's a golden ale made with apples and aged in rum and brandy barrels. Hope Mista enjoys!

 

I like the boxes so i grabbed a few. Agreed this years abyss isn't as good as last years which isn't as good as 2010 but who knows.
