Halle Berry's pet Octopus: NBS BIF 8

Sounds heart breaking

 

Well, I've got a new state added to my beer portfolio here - Nevada.
Thanks to @Bum4ever for this.


Elevation Calculation from Revision Brewing Company in Sparks, Nevada.

4.31/5 rDev -3.6%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Pours a lighter golden color. Very hazy and murky. The head is white, 1 finger, with ok retention. Minimal lacing on the glass.
The nose hit as I was pouring - a nice rich pineapple aroma. Up close I get Pineapple with a bit of grapefruit mixed in.
Taste - It is quite juicy tasting. I get a lot of pineapple in it from the hops. There's a bit of grapefruit on the backside.
The body isn't as soft as some beers in this style, but it's pretty soft, and creamy feeling. Thick body. Hops do linger in my throat for quite a while.
Solid beer in this style from Revision. Quite tasty.

Having fun with another state.

 

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

 

That sounds awful.

Great looking beer, though. Hope your wife feels better and that you don’t catch whatever it is she’s got.

 

Well my house has finally caved. It was starting to give over the last few days, but @WesMantooth put the thing out to pasture. Here are the boxes:



I swear I heard the UPS guy muttering to himself about quitting. That bottom box was the heaviest box of beer I have ever received. It literally took me an hour to sort through everything. I will detail everything in the next post.

 

Truly. End of an era.

 

Thanks, though I’m more worried about her than getting sick myself. The beer was excellent BTW. Boozy cinnamon roll with an abundance of icing. Wish I had another one to tuck back for a year or two. It was THAT good.

 

You are going to be really disappointed when you find cookware inside

 

The infamous Nevada tick. Well done @Bum4ever . I see you have been crushed. Can’t wait to see the contents!

 

Here's the carnage. I did post it when it came, but it got lost in all the carnage.

 

Ahhhh Funky Buddha!!! @Roguer is Hell on Wheels!

 

So box # 2 will land at my targets porch tomorrow.

This beer

Will NOT be in that box. However, I have a feeling that it will be in a box that I hurl at someone here. Just not sure who.

 

Well it looks like you haven't had much from the Bruery, Bottle Logic, or Bruery Terreux. So...

 

Didn’t recognize any of them except for the speedway and black butte. I’m just assuming that NV, WY, And MT are amongst the rarest state ticks.

 

South Dakota isn't the easiest to get because, as far as I know, Fernson is the only brewery distro outside the state. Even then, I have to go to southern Minnesota, or Fargo, ND, to get it. Montana has Big Sky, and I see it a lot here in the upper mid west. Wyoming, I have no clue about that state. I've heard West Virginia is hard to get. Probably the only way to get it is to either do a trade, or go there - which I plan to do someday.

 

How's the kiddo doing?

 

Ok lets go on a crazy ride through the awesome boxes from @WesMantooth:

First a reminder of what already landed on Saturday:

What a glorious sight. This is an amazing amount of generosity right here and I am stunned at the what Corey sent. It really was another level of not just new to me beers, but new to me breweries. With wants and some favorites thrown in for good measure. Not to mention the plethora of food items Corey has hit me with.

Thank you for everything @WesMantooth! I would say you belong in the pantheon of porch bombers!

 

Everyone is fine today. thanks.
