Sadly I won't have time to dig in for a little while as I'm busy trying to get box out, and pretend to watch Paw Patrol with my daughter at the same time. Soon though, soon.
Those look familiar. Glad they showed up. Tracking showed Monday, guess they're working round the clock to catch up.
Box will go out Tuesday or Wednesday Wednesday. I reached out to a very helpful BA that lives near my states most popular brewery for a beer that is my targets favorite style and was only available at the taproom. I think my target will enjoy this beer and rounds out the box nicely.
Lost track of my evening last night, but I did get some photos taken of my haul from @smanson56.... MUCH needed Christmas present, $20,000 winning lottery ticket!!! I'll send be holding you to getting this redeemed for me. Swag item 1 with #properbeer, from Kelsen brewing in NH: Unbranded swag item 2, and small sag item with #properbeer, from Lawson's Finest in VT: (not pictured: Lawson's coasters) This railroad tie opener is by far the most badass opener I've got, very awesome. A group shot of the beer: Kelsen Vendel - Imperial stout from a new-to-me brewery? Yes please! Kelsen Vinatta - See above Boothbay Steganos - See above Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Barleywine 2015 - I haven't gotten my hands on any of this yet, so this is a VERY welcome sight! Tributary Mott the Lesser - HUGE Want of mine Lawson's Finest Maple Tripple - Mmmmmmm another big Want, this sounds amazing Fifty Fifty Eclipse Evan Williams 23 (2014) - Love Eclipse, always excited to try new variants Clown Shoes Blaecorn Unidragon - Love the stouts of theirs I've had, looking forward to this one Foley Brothers Prospect - New DIPA tick? Already in the fridge Rock Art Wine Barrel Aged RIS - See above Firestone Walker Velvet Merkin - Mmmmmmmmmmm Lawson's Finest Double or Nothing - This sounds delicious And a family shot of everything together: Thank you so much @smanson56! Awesome haul, I'm really looking forward to digging into these!
@smanson56 sent me a bottle of Vinatta in the NBS BIF and it's legit, one of the most flavorful non BA stouts I've ever had.
Nice! I'm looking forward to trying that one. Just opened the Foley Brothers bottle with @zekeman17 and it is fantastic!
I'll second that. A great way to start a Saturday morning! You know what they say--you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning!! Thanks for sharing, Kevin!
Right now I would have to say Foley Bros Prospect is the best DIPA coming out of Vt right now and I had Double Sunshine last week to compare
Just checked my fedex and it says a box scheduled for delivery Monday got left at someone's doorstep this morning ??? First they're late now they're early wtf ??
Same thing in my case and I can't wait to see that pr0n! @HopDropandRoll probably needed a break halfway through unboxing.
Swag. A Jester King shirt, Four Swords snifter, Legion snifter and a pint glass from The Collective Brewing Project. Also, stickers from The Collective and Jester King! The shirt is so soft, it's like it's made from the clouds that surround the beer heavens. The little guys: CBP Mosaic IPA CBP Oaked Mosaic IPA- Love the idea of getting the original and oaked! Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA- haven't gotten a chance at any Deschutes, I'm pumped. Prairie Pirate Bomb- We get Prairie here, but I missed all the Pirates so this is awesome! CBC Legion CBC Barrel Aged Legion- Again, love the idea of having both! Revolver Brewing- Mother's Little Fracker The big boys! Epic Big Bad Baptist- YES! CBP American Sour Red Jester King Dichotomous- Anything JK is always a want! Jester King Wytchmaker Rye IPA- Love ryes, and love JK so this sounds awesome! Deep Ellum Four Swords- Aged in red wine barrels? Yes please. Lakewood Temptress Sin Mint Lakewood Temptress French Quarter- Seriously, these two beers sound INCREDIBLE. So pumped St. Arnold Pumpkinator- Always down with pumpkin beers CBP Tropic Thunder Crowler- Might be the first one I destroy Family shot! Seriously @pnelting this is an amazing box. I can't thank you enough. I don't even know where to start digging in.
Glad you like! I saw that Pirate Noir on your Untappd wishlist and happened to have one on hand. That and the Fresh Squeezed are the only non Texas beers of the bunch. The Big Bad Baptist is the Texas only batch with Cultivar coffee from Dallas. It's really coffee forward and tasty as hell. Enjoy all those new ticks!
Here's a #VBS and a #VCS from the box @jschott75 sent. That Bell's Java Stout is tasty and good amount of coffee and the Daisy Cutter is even better than I remember. I broke out the good camera just for you @ohyeahitsmuff
I dropped off my box at UPS this morning. It's got a long journey ahead, hopefully it all makes it in one piece. This part of the process always makes me so nervous. My target has to wait through well more than 2,000 miles before his beer arrives.
I can confirm that a monster box was left at the door. I'm just getting back home from being out of town for a few days, pics to follow soon. Good thing it's cold outside, because I can pretty much guarantee something from the box will be opened shortly.
