    I just tried Swish for the first time. I would Epiphany just ahead of Swish and both of them ahead of what I have had from Treehouse.

    There's a few things I've had there. Curious about the bottle on the left. I'm thinking Wander, but which beer? Oh, and the growler as well, what might that be?

    Total understatement I think. But they're all new to me, so I'm trying to go in blind and be objective. Sort of. I've heard of Tree house, and Swish maybe...so I'm really excited.

    Apologies for the low fill bottle of ESB. The brewery uses the low fills as samples for accounts. To make up for it, I included the mini-growler of this beer: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/701/109246/ . This beer is now a rotating option at the brewery, and one I drink quite a bit of. The Cabin Fever ages nicely for a year or two, although I've got some older. And the IPA is the flagship from the brewery. Do not expect one of those new-fangled "soft, juicy" IPA's. This is an old-school PNW hop bomb, bottled 3/24.

    The bottle on the far left is the one that is .5% of the bottling run, and the first beer from this brewery, that just opened back in Nov/Dec. I dropped my bottle and broke it. The glass next to it is what most of the beers are served in at the brewery, and holds a pint. I was a bit worried about surviving the trip.

    Sharp-eyed observers will have noticed that this is not the only bottle of Global Mutt in this BIF. perhaps all participants who receive Global Mutt could all drink and post them next Sunday? Shoe Toss is Wanders "basic" IPA, but it's not typical at all. The Wander glass is not what either Mutt or Toss is served in at the brewery, it's the glass they serve sours in, but I liked it, so you got it.

    The Tap Trail Silipint and bike shaped bottle opener are what you get for completing the tap trail. You received the newest trail map in the other box. The taster glass is from a local bar. The half-liter mug is from a local outdoor beer garden that's open year-round. I don't drink coffee, so I have no use for a brand-new coffee mug.

    In the other box were cans from 2 other Bham breweries, Kulshan and Aslan, so I managed to get 5 of our 8 (OOOPS, 9, another one just opened Thursday) breweries into this BIF. I hope you enjoy this virtual visit to my home.

    BTW, @beertunes, the bottled Boundary Bay IPA is suddenly popping up in numerous places around here, including grocery stores.

    The color of the bottle cap fooled me. It reminded me of Wander. At the event where this beer was handed to you, did you at least get a chance to try a glass of it?

    Felt I needed to get this pic to you all since I've through a few of these and may post one today but I'll save the rest for next week. Thank you sooo much @foundersasap for the box! AND I received a KBS! [​IMG]
