    Bomb Defused - Holy Shit @CBrodbeck !

    When I learned you were my sender/stalked me I was hoping maybe I would get a few Funky Buddha. Little did I know a whole freaking FB sampler platter would arrive. All new Beers for me except Huna! I am absoultely floored, what a box!

    Contents:
    FB - wide awake its morning - want
    FB - Last snow - want
    FB - MBCP - want
    FB - The love below - RIS aged in cabernet barrels and bourbon barrels? yes please
    FB - Chocwork Orange - Imperial Milk Porter with orange zest - sounds intriguing
    FB - French Toast - Sounds tasty
    FB - Nikolai Vorlauf - Heard good things about this one
    FB - Lemon Meringue Pie - Can't wait to share this with the wife
    FB - 3 year anniversary IPA - you had me at mosaic
    CC - Huna - perma want
    Awesome Funky Buddha snifter and 2 surprise which I am sure will be fantastic

    So, as the slack group knows, my wife and I are expecting our first child - the due date is August 5th. In celebration, I have decided to do a LIF. This is our first child and we are really excited. However we know our lives are about to change - maybe drastically, maybe mildly. I am guessing the former, but who really knows?

    So I thought it would be fun to send out a box of a few mini verticals. Most will be 15 vs 16 samples but maybe a 3 year sneaks in; don't really know yet. My thoughts are old life vs new life! How do things change over a year?

    Rules are simple. Open to all participants of any of the newbie BIFs I played in (the last three, which I think were 2,3,and 4).

    Person who picks the date our daughter is born will win. If nobody gets spot on, closest in either direction.
    Tie breaker is closest to weight, either direction.
    Final tie breaker is first person to submit their answer and meet the two previous criteria.

    Hint #1: shipping North
    Hint #2: I have shipped to your state before
    Hint #3: you have more trades than I do (I'm impressed) :slight_smile:
    Hint#4: I too frequently confuse your username with another Newbie
    Hint#5: Not shipping to Eziel - Happy Birthday, though!
    Hint #6: stalking your house on google street view, my wife says your house is really pretty!

    I got the brother to that box!

    So I was the lucky winner of the CIF finally! I think I have tried for about half of the rounds. And @CBrodbeck killed it! I just got a FB glass from a local and didn't have a beer to christen it. well that is no longer the case.

    First are the cushions.

    There's still one more that is empty, then we can fill the back! Now to the beer.

    Awesome man! So glad they made it safely. Especially that snifter. I always get a little anxious sending them but I knew you had to have proper glassware for the Buddha Bomb! Cheers!
