#VBS cheers!

 

'Murica! Fuck yeah!

 

OK, first things first, I believe (and please inform me if I've missed someone!) that with a guess of 22 bottles (exactly right) and a tiebreaker guess of 64oz (I wish!) @Tee2Grn is the winner of my LIF.

Congratulations--please send me a PM with your address. I will try to get the box out this week, but have several boxes I'm already on the hook for. Don't worry, the centerpiece beer doesn't mind a little time

Cheers!

 

@UTvols05 So obviously there's a new round of avatars starting, but whaaaat the fuuuuuuck.

 

Bottles was first, and oz the tiebreaker. Since 3 people were completely accurate on bottles, it's among only them for the oz.

I tagged @vitaminvert, who offered the LIF, while quoting the winning post......

 

Next, I just got home from Glenwood and waiting for me (thanks to my neighbor) was a box from @gjoker321

By now, the story below should come as no surprise to this group, but I tell it as a cautionary tale anyways.

Now, this started really as a Pickitupforme on 2 4-packs of WOJA. After we were unable to meet up IP in Tampa, and after redirecting 1 4-pack to an equally deserving WOJA junky in this group, that left 1 4-pack. This was my first clue that something was not as it should be...the box seemed a little large and DEFINITELY overkill on weight for 4 cans.

I opened said box and thought there must be some mistake. What did I ever do to this man that he should feel the need to spring such a surprise assault? Then things got worse. You see, it turns out that Geoff is a wizard. He case some kind of spell on this box...it just kept. fucking. going.



Seriously. These bottles were well cushioned with bubble wrap to withstand FL FedEx acrobatics, and when I had finished unwrapping, I attempted to place the used bubble wrap back into the box. It barely fit! How the hell was there this much beer in there??? Aliens. That's how.

Left to Right:
Maggies Blackberry Cobbler: Pretty stoked for this--I got one recently and was having that anxiety you get when you want to both try and hold onto a bottle. No more! Into the fridge
CCB Seasonal Creep: How was this not a want? Been wanting to try a CCB pumpkin beer for a while. Chocolate and Pumpkin? Yes please!
Big Rod: Coconut Ale (I LOVE coconut, and I'm excited to try it in a blond ale!)
Terrapin Peach Saison: DEM PEACHES!!!
WOJA: My happy place beer!
Hard Cider: My wife already told me that she might let me have a taste
FB Hop Gun: Permawant status!
FB More Moro: Tasted this for the first time when I was in Tampa and immediately wished we got it here. Perfect summer IPA!
FB Floridian: It's like a freaking Juice Box beer. See above regarding perfect summer beer.
Three Palms Get up and Gose Crowler: I love me some Gose, and I've heard so many good things about Three Palms! #DayDrinking!
Three Palms Caramel Apple Stout: Wat? Where has this been my whole life?? My wife asked me "so are crowlers the new thing"? Ha! Just you wait...

Oh, and #NBD, just some Rare DOS because WTFN?

Dude, you're a monster. It's going to take me some time to accumulate decide on the appropriate response, but rest assured, it will come.

Now to get started on day 2 of the 12 days!

 

12 days and dinner pr0n below for you freaks...





12 Days Brew Clown Shows Blimp an 11% Imperial Red aged in Chardonnay Barrels.

Paired with Pan Seared Chicken Breast deglazed with Fat Tire Amber, Fat Tire Braised Baby Bella Mushrooms, Brussel Sprouts glazed with Balsamic Raw Honey Reduction, and Tomato Caprese Salad.

All while watching USA Women take the Cup!

Cheers!

 

Yes. Do it. I did it with my oldest. She had milk and I had some hoppy goodness. She was so happy to be with the adults. Her mother was not so thrilled but as you mentioned, to me, it is a cultural thing.

 

@gjoker321 has made a name for himself, but has anyone seen him and @whyteboy003 in the same place at the same time??!!

Bwhahahah that avatar is AWESOME @UTvols05!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

We need more food **** in these threads. That looks delicious, especially those shrooms. I recently started making marinated mushrooms whenever I grill a steak, and in just a couple tries I've gotten great results, I might have to get more creative with it now that I've got the base recipe down.

 

I believe in @vitaminvert #teamyes

 

I've had that happen to me a couple of times, and I am always amazed and confused. Awesome box, btw

 

What do you mean?

 

#VGS (Virtual Gift Share)


@HoppySeb got the last laugh on this one (for now). He was my AA target and for those who didnt see the picture i wrote "Go Patriots" and "Should have ran the ball" on his box. I got this in the mail a few days ago.... Real funny bro

This actually came a few days ago, but i literally have been searching everywhere for a ball pump in my house for the past 2 weeks, so ive been arguing with my family trying to find out who ordered me it... Then i actually looked at the receipt and it all clicked..

So what was meant to be a comedic gift, was something ive really needed haha

 

Well glad it was useful, there was supposed to be a card in there too
Cheers

 

VBS - The freshest Lunch I have ever tried at 2 1/2 weeks old. The difference with older versions I had is very clear. The hops shine through here. Delicious!

In the back is a 3lbs bowl of freshly picked blackberries. To think I only planted one bush at the time and did not think it would do well.

 

oh you mean the one that i lit on fire, extinguished, then flushed down the toilet?
