Glad everything arrived safely! And FYI, I don't get a tag if you don't use the @. Also, the Lakefront is aged in Brandy Barrels! Glad I put that Gose in there! I have a Gose tree in my family..............parents live half the year in MB SC and are 5 minutes from the Market Commons Piggly Wiggly.......really good bottle shop! Also, @Yourahoser I wish your avatar was bigger! this old man thought you had a nice Handlebar!!
Wow that's insanely well priced. Assuming I dished out the whole keg and had 100% pour efficiency I'd still be below my cost, no doubt they're filling off a half barrel though and getting a cumulation discount on top. I can do somewhere in the ballpark of $15 for a bottle, everyone okay with that? Still below retail cost and should be able to duck glass cost with my bottle filler.
HOLYSHITTHATSAWESOME! You're the man Greg! I am telling the gf that I'll be taking a road trip after work one night next week - assuming there's enough left to fill my 750 swing-top! How late are you open?
Just got a message from my dad that he scored me some Trickery and Gingerbread Stout from hardywood. Won't have it in time for bif2 but maybe a LIF after New Years will happen if you guys behave.
I was collecting some great stouts for the Stout BIF that has been postponed. I think a couple of those might find there way into this BIF. As long as my target likes Stouts that is.
Alright - after a minor delay due to my stupidity in giving out my address with a typo @Elkevjoe's box arrived today. Let me tell y'all this guy is a real assh@le. I asked for a crowler of Lunch and he sends me this Lunch is a perma want and the .sun ask in this trade. Loiking forward to sharing with my non BA buddy whole used to live in Portland Maine. Wulver is amazing and a great reason to trade with these Ohio boys. The peanut butter cup Porter was a wish list beer that he randomly hooked up, so excited. Super pissed about the Wooster growler because I TOTALLY HATE COFFEE so I don't know what I'll do with all this beer.... Fats head and roller blave are a couple awesome new, unexpected ticks. New breweries too. Way too generous!
Time for the next round of the CIF (Cushion It Forward)! Invite list: Obviously anyone in the Summer Newbie BIF 2015 is encouraged to participate. I'll open this up to lurkers as well. The only requirement is at least 5 trades and 100% feedback. In the spirit of the Newbie BIF anyone with less than 5 trades or with less than 100% feedback is welcome to join with a veteran sponsor. Veteran lurkers are also welcome @Mipper . I will ask that you only sign up if you are committed to keeping the #CIF going. The beer: In an effort to keep the #CIF moving along I'm going to limit the beer to a 6-8 bottle shipper with a range of 100 oz. to 152 oz. of 85+ Rated beer, or 4.1+ rAvg if there are too few scores for a rating. Beer must be from outside your target's distribution. How it works: If you want a chance at these red chair cushions all you have to do is send me a BM titled "#CIF I'm in!". Include your name, full shipping address (work or home?), phone number, email address, and your Untappd name (optional). Let me know about any shipping date restrictions and style preferences. I will close down sign ups on Friday November 13. I will choose a BA at random and ship on Monday/Tuesday the 16/17th. Rather than announce the recipient I will keep this info to myself. The lucky BA who is surprised by Chad's cushions will add their BA handle and location to the cushions with a permanent marker. At this point the sign ups will start over and anyone who hasn't received the #CIF box is eligible. If we get to a point where no one signs up then I become the target by default. Feel free to BM me with any questions. #CIF
