    WTF Nick! @PA-Michigander ....not only did I you get a box to my unsuspecting porch before I could setup defenses, I didn't receive a FedEx notification until AFTER the bomb had gone off...

    I'm sitting here enjoying the Masters, drinking one of my new favorite brews, Sunny Side Up (courtesy of @JNForsyth), and what happens?

    [​IMG]

    ANOTHER ONE lands at my door just like that. Unreal timing.
    But we're not done there, are we NICK?
    -Shorts Carob Stout: not really sure what carob is, but interested to find out
    -Oddside BBA Imp Mayan Mocha: damn, didn't even have this beauty on my wants list!
    -SSU: x2 for the week :grinning:
    -Eternal Sunshine: I was out of wild ales/sours at the moment and craving one SO bad. Cannot wait. First time having a Pizza boy wild
    -Jacks Abbey Coffee: here ya go Nick, my JA cherry is yours.
    -BBAPT5: this might be my oldest "want". As soon as I started trading I learned of this and wanted one so bad. My first ever trade, the guy subbed out a Chocolate Rain instead of BBAPT5 as an "extra". I wasn't disappointed with that, but I've wanted this one for over a year now!



    I can honestly say I was not expecting to be hit yet. As I said, I had not yet prepared my defenses (by which I mean warned my girlfriend) and she was not thrilled about a Friday night knock on the door from the delivery man.

    Thank you sir for the generosity, but as you can see, the south (White Oak :slight_smile:) will always come out on top!

    I thought it was the burden on those 56kbps modems "all of y'alls" still use in the south.

    Enjoy! I know you have a big milestone coming up so hopefully some of these get cracked for the occasion (if they last!).
    Cheers!

    Then in that case, we should take a break, sit down in the trenches, and share a beer. I'll toast with some of this Northern juice. Good stuff. Comes from the battlefields around @PA-Michigander's area. Of course, in southern glassware.

    That's a really cool idea. How many people will you have helping you out with this? (if it were the BL college days, I'd believe you were going for this on your own)

    Wow, I am not sure if I can keep up with this thread but I sure as heck look forward to trying to. Met some of you gents through the Stout BIF IV thread and have been directed here as a good place to continue the BIF "Action". As a further introduction I am throwing out a random LIF. I am heading on a road trip to Asheville soon for a four day trip (two days of car travel with the wife and six month old, one day of brewery hopping, and day of Biltmore followed by brewery hopping). My LIF is a two-fer (two boxes going out!). The winner(s) will be based upon: 1.) Who can guess closest to the exact mileage we are going to add to our car on this trip (hint: I live 2.1 miles off Exit 246 on I-75). 2.) Who can guess how many different beers I will try (tick) on this trip? Good luck and I look forward to virtually sharing many beers with y'all!
    Cheers!

    Brother, I've been there more times than I care to admit. Hotel without a fridge = redneck cooler!

    My Funky Buddha tit is one of my three favorite to drink from. It's glorious!

    There's been a lot of talk about southern vs northern women, so I just want to clear the air....


    Nobody is doubting how much better looking Southern women are vs northern women, right?

    (oh, and in before mom, cousin, sister, relative jokes)


    edit: sorry to our resident yankee girl. no offense :grinning:

    You goddamn Southerners! Your fancy tea and silly accent (irony). Having a pleasent day when all of a sudden I come home to an assault on the north. @Dave_Treat of course had to do damage to my front door, surly pissing off the Condo board. This will not go unresponded. The USS Minnesota was the flagship of the Atlantic Blockade and it's memory will live on!
