    I dug it man, great play off the war theme of the beer's name. And @beertunes is right, Chester, NY is on the UWS of Manhattan.

    People do commute from up that way, so...

    Anybody received a ninja box the last few days? I'm sending a semi-ninja box next week, who will be the last to ship in this BIF?

    I'm looking at my atlas, finding Chester, thinking, nah, it's gotta be outside of all that, but you and @beertunes obviously know more about this than me peering at a map of the state. God, the NYC metro area is insanely huge! How the fuck can so many people live so close to one another? In my area, people get weirded out if someone sits next to them in a bar that they don't know.

    Your "semi" is a ninja? :grimacing:
    I don't doubt you've got mad skills, man, but you might want to lower the braggadocio a notch.

    I'm pretty sure I've got the honor of firing off the last official BIF box, with my box of overflow beers for @newjack heading out tomorrow or Thursday (probably the latter, but I might get a lucky break as to how things shake out tomorrow after I get off work).

    Well, the recipient mentioned travel, so I had to get a hold of him to make sure the timing worked out. But, he doesn't know what he's getting. Well, he might have figured out that at least some of the beer is from Bellingham. :flushed:

    And yet, physically, it's quite small. I would always get a bit nervous when I had to drive big rigs though the area, but usually, you were through there before you realized it (per wiki, NYC is 305 sq miles of land. Whatcom County WA is 2107 of land). In some ways, Boston and Philly are worse. But, basically, Boston to Richmond is one big city.

    I've got stories with falling outta cars.
    I got stories about not dropping the bottle during a big fall. I've got stories from the ER. And I've even got a less interesting story involving explosives. But...THOSE ARE ALL DIFFERENT STORIES!!! You have 1 story with all of those elements!!! PURE GONZO!!!

    I'd like to hear this one too. Then I'll share mine called "Fear and Amoebic Dysentery Weight Loss in Guatemala."

    Hey Northeast BIFers, anyone got two extra cans of Heady I can trade you for? Got a buddy who is newish to craft and wants to try "The great white whale beer" (to him at least). Can trade generously, of course.

    I literally just sent out a case and a half. I have 1 can in house, but I will have a good chance to pick some more up this Thursday or Friday. Will keep you posted.

    Thanks buddy. Just want to hook up a buddy who will go apeshit for it. Can definitely trade well over $4$ in locals or whatever style you're looking for.

    Great, no problem. I should have some within a week! No need to go over, especially this time of year, not too hard to get!

    Much appreciated! I personally prefer SOS, but that's the one he'd heard of, so trying to make a pal stoked.

    Hey, @newjack!

    Another 122.68oz of beer will be shipping out tomorrow (I missed FedEx's shipping window having to chase down some more packing tape, and it's too warm here to leave beer sitting for almost 24 hours in the downtown FedEx, plus I actually thought I could squeeze yet another 40oz of canned IPAs in, but no dice and I gotta cut the cord or just load up the car and head your way)

    You'll be getting:
    Miscellaneous forms of swag
    66oz of IPA
    56.68oz of PNW variations on things Belgian

    There are at least 3 porches recovering from recent injuries, that are trembling at the thought of the incoming strike of the medal winners.
