NBS BIF #1 hints

Actually finished my whole workout and then got another one lifting this box to the counter to open. Everything arrived safe as a baby's bottom. Thanks a ton @strohme2 for at least 3 NBS of stuff:
Mountain Town Train Wreck
Brewers Vivant Contemplation
Dragonmead Crown Jewels
Ore dock Brewing Saison
Saugatuck Brewing Neapolitan Milk Stout
OddSide Ales Citra and Black Citra
Short's Brew Aphasia and Lil' Wheezy

Just gotta figure out when to try what from this:


This has been tremendous fun, and I've learned a few things, and confirmed a few others including there are some solid and generous BAs out there. Thanks again @beertunes and @Lehighace06 for setting this up.

 

Nah - Herman is the 10 foot sturgeon at Bonneville Dam hatchery in Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge. a very impressive fish.

 

As much as I would have enjoyed some Bourbon County, but I have tried those before and the whole point was to try new beers, which I am very excited for!

 

Oddside Citra is a fantastic beer!

 

Okay, so the bridge was Bridge of the Gods. Haven't been there in years, but the Columbia Gorge is fantastic. One of these I'll head down that way to pay another long-overdue visit to Portland (but I might wind up not making it past Hood River & it's obligatory pubcrawl).

 

I think you meant to quote @Ozzylizard

 

Let's be honest here: It seems to me that absolutely every person involved in this is coming out looking bloody GREAT

 

Yep. Sorry about that! Hell, I haven't even opened a beer yet tonight, so I can't blame it on that!

 

Rather than expect the driver to arrive when I'm at home or even successfully figure out which of the three entrances in my building has my particular doorbell, I'm actually going to reach out to UPS and see if they'll just sit on the box. That way I can pick it up right away rather than go through three days of the delivery driver always coming in the morning while I'm at work (I usually get home around 1PM). Fedex seems to have a policy of making their second attempt in the afternoon if the first was in the morning & vice versa, UPS not so much.

 

Nice! As a lager lover, you wont be disappointed by Jack's Abby. I would put them on my top 3 distro wish list.

 

Solid lineup there. BCBBW?? Breaking out the big guns!

 

I was moved by the event! Also, it was one great beer not on Stillyman11's review list. Great forum....great idea

 

Damn. That's a nice shot to your porch.

 

It's Italian!!! "Fragiiile

 

Holy Shizzle Batman, reinforce the porch!!!! UPS is scheduled to hit my porch with 20.7 lbs by tomorrow.
Gives me a whole new reason to look forward to this weekend. I can't wait @WesMantooth ...

Just a quick comment on that sexy ass looking haul - If I had to rank my favorite RIS's Expedition and Siberian would be 1 and 2 in no particular order - both are phenomenal IMHO, plus the BCBW???? Sick!!!!!!

 

it's a good thing I don't have a front porch !!!! otherwise i'd have to drink all that beer and rebuild on sunday

 

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is an awesome beer too!

 

just a general question to everyone out there................ are we supposed to only drink these on sundays ???? i'm dyin to start trying some of these beers and I don't wanna be the asshole that starts early ????
