NBS BIF #1 hints

What's really great about this whole thing is that nobody feels sulighted and everyone is appreciative . True giving!! And everyone is so interested in what everyone receives. This is so very cool! Thanks @leghighace and @beertunes. Wonderful job. I am as excited to see what everyone else gets as well as to see what I get. Well.....ok......maybe I am a little more excited in seeing what I get

 

Thanks you @Stillyman11 for my awesome box, love that everything is a different style! Can't wait to start drinking them all!

 

I was excited to get email that @strohme2 's package is on my (girlfriend's) doorstep. Almost skipped gym for it, but since I can't drink until Sunday, I am in between sets reading this thread and wishing I'd chosen differently!! Pics to come, hopefully.

 

No worries. Scheduled to arrive the middle of next week.

 

I thought that would be a pretty obvious hint.

I've actually heard the reason Denzel didn't get the oscar for that was that the Academy was uncomfortable with the lengths the filmmakers went to make the character more sympathetic.

I'm probably not going to be able to ship until Wednesday (maybe Tuesday afternoon), but you'll be getting some shelf beer from about a 150 mile radius (most of it much closer) north(east), south(west), east and west from Spokane, and I'll be shipping a growler TBD from a Spokane brewery. One is from a brewery that has limited distribution in New Jersey, but I've not been able to find out for sure if the specific beer is available in the Garden State.

 

I've been thinking that about all the pics posted so far. It's a pretty impressive example of how big a deal craft brewing has become in this country, that there's that many beers that people who regularly geek out about beer can go, "What the hell is that? I want some!"

Welp, @ZebraCakez destroyed my p̶o̶r̶c̶h̶ front door today. Massive mini fridge sized box arrived. Didn't get a pic of the box, but it was a box in box setup that required a dumpster visit afterward . Holy crap man, amazing box. Far more than I would have ever expected. I have been wanting to try Jack's Abby for years now. I am a big lager fanatic as many people on this board already know(along with all other styles). Also never heard of Buzzards Bay before searching your state early this week when I found out I was your target; but definitely looking forward to trying all of them!

 

This box arrived from @FlakyBiscuit and it is absolutely incredible!! Completely above and beyond anything I expected to get and filled with tons of beers that I would have not have known to try had it not been for this BIF.

Included here:
Thirsty Dog Siberian Night
Fat Heads Head Hunter
Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot
Penn Brewery Penn Dark
Bells Expedition Stout
Voodoo Daddy
Penn St. Nicholas Bock
Daai Laag Simon Gerty

and if that wasn't enough he felt the need to throw in a 2013 Bourbon County Barley Wine.


It was an honor to be a part of this and I can't wait to participate in more of these in the future

 

Herman the Sturgeon? Are we talking about a fishwalk somewhere in the Columbia Gorge?

I think I somehow took this to be a Great Lakes state reference.

 

Nice to have the official glassware as well, will be a nice addition to my beer **** pics.

 

Yeah, I guess I can see where that fits, but I didn't think I'd be the only one asking for a signature to be required. For what it's worth, the neighbors aren't the problem - it's the area regularly used by squatters as a place to crash a few blocks down the street.

 

Ah, Edmund Fitzgerald - not available in my neck of the woods. @Shroud0fdoom was kind enough to throw a bottle in to a box he sent me a while back. An awesome porter!
