Triple Threat - NBS BIF #3

Final hint from me. My target had not been able to post on this thread, though I have been told he can read it, he also has not posted a review on NBS, but I hope he does after he gets my 200+ oz package.

Haul hint: I am hoping to pick up some cans of a rose colored IPA tomorrow, but if I can't make it to this brewery for the cans, I will still be there this weekend and most likely be coming back with 32 oz of my favorite IPA.

 

Yes that's where I'm at if they have not been in a BIF with me I don't get into trading with them.

 

A fellow BA who I'll leave unnamed asked me to send him one bottle of a certain beer for another BIF we are in. Big mistake on his part I don't have anything less the 12 bottle shippers. That box will land tomorrow. He got 78lbs the last time I played in this BIF.

 

I would like one beer!

 

I was in Clarion today for work. I got in last night because of an early needed start this morning and it being a 7hr drive away. I actually worked over in Shippenville, at the Clarion Bath plant... I'm in composites.

Mr. McGuire: I just want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics.
Benjamin: Exactly how do you mean?

That movie is not the reason I got into the business...in fact it almost predates me be by more years that I have been alive...

Just wait...@jhavs box landed today. Pictures at 7.

Seeing as how it is almost 7 and I have finished the documentation for my insurance company...here it goes...

 

Do you have an unwritten rule that all of your boxes must be at least half the weight of the dog in your picture?

 

So here we go...

@jhavs box landed today and I was able to make it back in time to begin the rebuilding process. Insurance claim submitted. Check. Chicago UPS office rebuilt. Check. Have I been evicted from my apartment yet....I can't comment on pending litigation.

So here we go. Buckle in kids.

I arrived to this:

Zombie dust for scale.

One of the first pulls from the box:


In the Schwag box:


Hill Farmstead Wili!!!

Now into the beer...
Potential most interesting packaging ever.


Seriously though...This might be the only New Hampshire beer in the box...I'm still doing some fact checking.

I would have been more than happy with this:


But there was more


Now for entire haul shots...

 

Just catching up after not checking the thread for a few days and damn have you all been busy! Awesome hauls so far guys! Keep up the good work everybody!!!


Hint #6 - At least one of my previous hints is a lie.

 

Good news, no big snow storm for my area, it is tracking north! All the of the boxes have been awesome thus far.

 

In the six shipper...


A few more bottles in that other box


I've had framing hammer once before and I believe it was just the BA Coffee. Never the base beer or the Vanilla. Rum BA Fayston Maple speaks for itself. I'm actually super excited about the Vienna Lager. Simplify, simplify simplify. Words to live by. A well made beer is a thing of beauty.

And the kill shot...



Absolutely amazing box. @jhavs nothing further is needed. Seriously.

 

Ok, no unforeseen issues arose. I did get interrogated by the shipping attendant, but I stuck to my boldfaced obvious lies and the package is current scheduled to hit [redacted] with a Scheduled Delivery of Friday, 03/25/2016, By End of Day. Hope @[insert target name here] is available to get this package, as otherwise [un]said target may have to wait another couple days.

Haul Hints:
3 of the beers are not local to me, but I think they will be new to my target
Just about every beer I sent is a different style (seriously I already forgot a couple, not that there were that many, but I just suck - and digress) - with a couple "duplicates" being variations of the base.

 

That is fantastic! Such a wide variety.

 

Yes, they all have been wonderful... I'm beginning to think my target may be disappointed , the bar is set so high. Good thing time will have passed b/t @WesMantooth and @jhavs bombs pics. Now as long as the rest of you keep it quiet for a week, I have a shot !

 

wow! bravo @jhavs
good on ya, @BigRedDog !!

 

If y'all haven't checked it out yet, my friend @YoudownwithABV has a giveaway going on right now to support Down Syndrome awareness day. This is an issue that is near and dear to my heart, having a nephew with Down Syndrome. He was lucky enough to not have complications, but Miles (the target of the donations) has had a few complications and keeps fighting. If you're interested in giving check the post on the BIF beer raffle for Mighty Miles a few posts down. In this topic thread.

I personally donated a box, and can tell you that many more beers are going to be raffled off. My box hasn't even been listed yet. A new box will be added every day. I won't give too much away, but there will be some Cantillon and harder to get Drie Fonteinen raffled off. Thanks for reading this guys.

Cheers,
Cliff

 

Enjoy buddy! Just one more little box with some awesome IPA's coming.

 

Another nice haul.

 

How much snow are you expecting in the next 2 days?
