Jester King: Mad Meg- MORE JK!!!
Perennial- 17: WANT! Accidentally traded for a CW 17 thinking it was this back when i was a n00b

All in all, I would agree in Kylos "its just a mediocre box" statement. not a whole lot going on here. HAH yeah right this will go down as one of the greats...

Also a haul of equivalent depths...

yup, i found em.

 

Thats shouldn't be a problem, but if it is Ill let you know. Last year it was all over down here for a few weeks.

 

forgive me good sir, got home around 10:30 and spent past hour unboxing, reboxing, and then unboxing....the excitement was the same every.single.time

 

So I bought a few BA Speedway in the last BPT release. @wheelzntoys Graciously volunteered to pickitupformebro.

Then proceeded to ignore my request to send him shipping label or box. Then this arrives



2 amazing looking IPA's, one from a favorite brewery of mine from California. Thank you my friend.

Your time will come. You have been warned!

 

Tick tick tick....

 

Haha I noticed the badge yesterday. I also feel like IPAs with a pretty wide distribution have to be brewed to last a little longer than say a Tree House IPA that's pretty much draft only.

 

But, but, WHY?? I need an explanation for this!

 

Helluva box @Kylo76 !

 

Thanks for the chance! 21mph

 

Sorry for the delay, promised this on Friday, I think I finally figured out how to post pics. Some top beers are missing from my hauls my apologies.





This is from my 4th of July cookout, the cooler that my brother in-law brought was pretty good also!

Made this!

 

OK -- early morning beerPron time. Back about a month ago, @devilfluff was looking for some WB Gose to bring on vacation, and I was able to pick it up within a mile of work. So I shipped him two 6 packs, and I think I stuck in 2 extras (one want) just to fill the box. Recently, I got the impression he was gonna send me some Zombie Dust back as payment (which I was fine with), and got my Fedex notification yesterday.

So I get home and it was a very memorable box. First, in contrast to some of the boxes we've shipped lately, this one was very professionally done. First time used as far as I could tell, with minimal layers of tape and old labels, no unsightly bulges or stains. And very nicely done labels and stickers! Then I opened it up, and the fun noodle packing material was brilliant.

And then I got to the beer!!



Spellbound IPA -- while I'm gonna have to start drinking them faster, I always love IPA's (especially from a new brewery)
Zombie Dust x2 -- ditto for APA's, and I've loved this when I tried it in the past
Foothills People's Porter -- I thought I had this in the past, but research tells me I haven't. I think it's been discussed in The Locals before, and I'm looking forward to trying it.
Outer Banks Sour Weisscadine -- another new brewery, and a style I find myself liking more and more
Tired Hands Fuzzy Yellow -- my second Tired Hands beer, but you guys are killing me sending me growlers!
Lost Abbey Inferno Ale -- I'm normally not a big Belgian fan, but I've loved the 2 or 3 Lost Abbey beers I've tried in the past, so I'm optimistic about this one
Cape May Honey Porter -- another new brewery, and I know I like beers with Honey yeast or flavoring, so I'm sure this will be good
Neshaminy Creek Shape of Hops to Come x2 -- I've heard of this beer and this brewery, but never tried anything from them, and we've already discussed my affinity for IPA's, so...
Round Guys Sundown Saison -- yet another new brewery

So basically a box with nice variation, one beer I love and a bunch that are new, a ton of new (mostly Local to my sender) breweries... thanks a ton Jesse!

 

Where'd you find the chips?

 

A) Someone else used it before I did
B) I'd like to see you try it old man

 

The Sour Weiss was a 22 bottle batch that I picked up on vacation. If you look, it is hand numbered.
Unfortunately, Tired Hands bottles are pretty limited... And I was there meeting Devin anyway...

The box and noodles were courtesy of @PassMeAZima's recent LIF.

 

I don't think you figured it out

 

Good Morning everyone and Happy IPA Day!

 

In some independently owned grocery store in Attleborro MA.
