Glad it made it safe and sound @jonbonfondle There is no way I was going to let the guy running this round get away safely. Hope you enjoy the "ear candy" as well, tried to mix it up. Guess my box arrives tomorrow ----- oh, the wait
He knew what he was asking for when he picked you lol... Or maybe he was hoping for some blue pills...
Two boxes departed the southland last night. Trying the altered name technique this time to hopefully get them to their destinations without a heads up from fedex!
On to the important pron.. Spooky Message.... Awesome Extras! Pliny the Elder x2 Almanac Farm to Barrel Farmers Reserve Raspberry Midnight Sun Treat (Imperial Chocolate Pumpkin Porter) ~ wrapped beer, waiting for the fridge to work its magic Wrapped! And a photo bomb by my very interested dog. Thanks @OEB - nothing cheers up a gloomy afternoon like a porch bomb! You rock lady! Cheers!
Glad to see it all made it there safely @CBrodbeck ! You can open the wrapped extra. Originally I was thinking of including it in the 6 days, but it was replaced to balance out the hops/dark/sour ratios.
Good plan! But the wrapped beer is not raspberry, those raspberry candies go with the Farmer's Reserve. The wrapped beer is probably a good beer for a hot day.
REMINDER: One week until the first day the Six Days of Halloween BIF, and we have 12 targets that still need to see boxes. I imagine we'll see a lot tomorrow, and hopefully everyone gets theirs before Thursday. To my target: the box was originally supposed to drop on Saturday, but looks like it was delayed until after the weekend.
Well..... I had Bretta Rose from FW for this beer from @OEB especially with the Haribo Raspberry candies... but nope. Now I'm guessing RR Temptation. Let's see!
Well, I had the initial bottle shape right. Thanks Chica! This beer is fantastic. Can't wait for the rest!
awesome box @OEB ! all around: great idea, again, if it hasnt already been said, for the theme of this round. so much quality (visible) beers, and im sure the anticipation is gettin everyone in a tizzy. like takin candy from a baby.. and then wrapping it and giving it to another baby with extras.
I had to leave my wrapped beer from @HeartofMiami in the basement fridge so I won't be tempted ahead of time! I'm a huge fan of "Days Of" BIFs. It's an awesome motivation to drink some excellent beer as opposed to adding bottles to a collection. Cheers, Newbies! Thanks for letting a Local join in your fun for a Round.
To my target: dropping tomorrow. I hate having boxes sit over the weekend, but life came up and I need to get it to you in time. P.S. I hope you have someone to help you out, at least on days 3 and especially 4. Which reminds me, @JoeyIce3 when should I expect mine ?
I couldn't agree more about drinking the excellent beer instead of hoarding. Also, I'm indecisive as hell so it's nice having someone tell me what to drink!
Came home to find a ninja box full of awesome TX goodies from @pnelting. All new ticks and new breweries for me. http://s1042.photobucket.com/user/oder_etwas/media/90217FBC-70EC-49DB-AB59-93E4574FEF45_zpsbn9tutwy.jpg.html][/URL] http://s1042.photobucket.com/user/oder_etwas/media/41225C96-F711-407D-AAC7-A7FCD8AE9EBA_zpsw1kn9rob.jpg.html][/URL] I think it's become well known in Slack that I love records, as I often pair them with beer for #VBS photos. I mentioned during the No Rules solo some challenge that I unfortunately didn't have any Creedence to pair with it, so Patrick remedied this. http://s1042.photobucket.com/user/oder_etwas/media/7DDC668A-19E8-437D-86ED-4079F09CA0BE_zpsl9su2evd.jpg.html][/URL] Live Oak Hefe is a want, can't wait to finally try this Collective apricot petite and whiskey mango petite, both sound amazing. http://s1042.photobucket.com/user/oder_etwas/media/34B4CF5A-0544-4BB8-A044-FEED97A01BC0_zpsi1xzmfag.jpg.html][/URL] Yellow Rose - YUGE want, already drank, was delicious Collective Suspicious Delicious - not familiar with this one, sounds tasty Mystery bottle...or so I thought French Quarter Temptress - another BIF want, this whole series looks good but I've heard particularly good things about this one. I was informed it wasn't a blind bottle and it just didn't fit in a ziplock, so I opened it up: http://s1042.photobucket.com/user/oder_etwas/media/D095A83A-9A12-49A7-8720-A5E03C854E20_zpsv2of8squ.jpg.html][/URL] Yet another want! Thanks so much Patrick, such a generous box of awesomeness.
@CBrodbeck dropped a giant BIF box on me today. Wrapped beers: Candy, extras, #properglassware, #properdresswear, sticker Wide Awake as an extra!!! Insanely generous. While not visible, the shirt is a Wide Awake shirt as well, so this isn't just a brewery match, it's an actual beer to beershirt match, total first for me! Family shot: I won a Funky Buddha LIF this summer and greatly enjoyed every single one of their beers. These guys don't screw around, when they put a label on, the beer delivers - my Untappd check-ins can attest. This I can tell will be an amazing 6 days here of reaching a Funky Buddha nirvana. Thank you @CBrodbeck!!!
Glad you liked lil opal. I'm excited to see what you think of the rest...especially when you find the tricks they are paired with!!
