Inaugural Rookie BIF Hints and Hauls Thread

I would drink the DDH soon, those hops are really fun right now. The cross fertilization is drinking well, but would also do well with some time on it imo.

 

.....is it bad if i already drank the DDH before you posted this?
Its funny, and this is probably bc recently I've mainly had super hopped IPAs....at first i barely even realized the hops were there! but as i kept drinking, they definitely came out, and mixed with a funky earthy finish, it ended up being well balanced and awesome. I gotta stop checking in on untappd as i start drinking, and needa get the hang of doing it when i finish.


(dw, i washed the cup in between lol. and try not to mind the messy board...when you eat off of where you cut it never looks too pretty)

 

Uh, @CheChe ... Ho. Lee. Shit.

I had to work late tonight, which was a bummer because I knew I had a box from you waiting at home. I am so far past blown away I don't even know what to say.

I opened the top of the box and saw the Jester King bag and stickers and thought, "awesome! There must be a Jester King in here!". Dude.

As I worked through the box pulling unbelievable beer after unbelievable beer out, I started laughing. You are a maniac.



That's Jester King 2017 SPON peach & apricot, biere de Blanc du Bois, cherry funkmetal, grim harvest, atrial rubicite, and biere de syrah! Plus an awesome tulip glass, stickers, and an incredible bottle opener.

But wait! There's more! American Solera foederville and Casey family preserves peach!

This is just an unbelievable box of wild ales and I can't thank you enough. Way beyond anything I dreamed of receiving in this BIF. If I can ever chase anything down for you in my neck of the woods, PLEASE let me know.

Cheers!

 

Wow! @CheChe killer box!!

 

Hoooooly fuck. Fantastic box @CheChe - this has my vote for winning box. That Atrial! Damn. Super envious!

 

Yeah, I don't even like sours, but goddamn, you win.

 

I had to represent Texas with a little help from some friends. Cheers I hope you enjoy them

 

Whoa! Awesome Box! Its been awhile since I've had some Jester King! Enjoy!

 

Surprisingly, USPS gave me an exact estimate for delivery time and my target should find some small damage to his porch when he gets home.

 

Whew! I'm glad I dug out from the snow today.

Yay, a reason to go on living! Thank you, sir!

 

I hope my box is being shipped in the next week or so, as I'll be out of town starting March 10th.

 

My box from @jhartley arrived safe today, and it's a heck of a box! Tons of breweries I haven't heard of, and a beer I've wanted to try for a while, the White Oak Jai Alai.



Tampa Bay Brewing Company - Reef Donkey APA
Tomoka Brewing Company - Tom Yum Thai Gose
Two Henry's Brewing Company - Guilded Age Golden Lager
Perrin Brewing Company - Triangulation Imperial Oatmeal Stout
Big Top - Hawaiian Lion Coconut Coffee Porter
Cigar City - White Oak Jai Alai
Crooked Can Brewing - High Stepper IPA
Tampa Bay Brewing Company - Gingy Imperial Porter

Can't wait to crack into these! Thanks again!

 

We have impact! Pictures to come - thanks @bstoos !

 

Enjoy!! The WOJA is the last of the old packaging style.
That Tomoka TYTG is fabulous, hope you like it!
Cheers!

 

Curious to know who MY sender is...getting anxious!

 

Sorry for the slow haul pic - we have 5-8 inches of snow coming tomorrow (we had 3 last night) and I happen to have two flat tires on my snowblower (however that happened... it was fine when I started snowblowing this morning), and they're both off the rim, and one won't come off the fucking shaft, and etc. Anyway. Enough frustration for the evening... time for a beer, back to work tomorrow morning...

@bstoos hit me with some very promising looking IPAs and a big ol' crowler of black lager:


Oh! And M&Ms - did I mention M&Ms? Brian must have known that I'd be obsessively working on this fucking snowblower for a few hours and forget to eat anything. Cheers, man. Also, good noise maker, which is what I imagine you were going for! Great packing, too.

Cheers, Brian - thank you for this package! All brand new ticks for me, so I'm doubly impressed!

 

Enjoy. The only one I thought you may have had before was Flower Power, but I made sure you hadn't had that one before I packed it. Hope your snowblower gets fixed so you don't have to shovel yourself out.

 

See below -- For the record, I was right all along, for reasons I can explain if anyone cares. Personally, I was more impressed with myself for figuring out that @Tom_V is a lawyer.

 

Yeah, I tried to make it obvious but not too obvious. I thought the baseball movie hint was a good one, because it included:

Field of Dreams
Little Big League
Rookie of the Year
The Scout
Angels in the Outfield

 

Field of Dreams just jumped out at me, because I feel like the location is so much more relevant in that one. And (no offense to @Bife2003), if you were shipping to most other states you would have had a lot of possible clues to choose from... Iowa not so much.
