Halle Berry's pet Octopus: NBS BIF 8

I can honestly say this is the first time in my life that I have gotten up at 3AM with the sole intention of going to drink beer! Philly bound!

 

Drive/fly safe! Party hard with the group

 

I like this whole thing and I’m in. Not only is Xmas my birthday, it’s that special time of year when I’m just about broke, haha! A large flat rate box sounds perfect to fit a bomber and some cans(for padding). Medium would probably be just cans, but I’ve crammed 10 16oz and 2 12oz cans in one of those fuckers before! I think we should leave the medium/large flat rate an option for the sender, with zero pressure/expectation to send the large.

 

Safe travels, and have fun today.

 

Airport breakfast. That better?

 

Maybe it has been mentioned where will we reveal/review these NBS or Here? Any issue if I wrap or make several mystery beers?

 

I fly out Tuesday afternoon, so not long unfortunately. Monday or something towards the airport around noon on Tuesday would be best.

 

Damn. I think you just out-balled us all. Now you’ve got me thinking...should I also pregame the pregame?

 

Oy, totally not happening then, sorry. Have a great time in the city, though!

 

@JBowenGeorgia @thisischuck01 are in the house y’all. This thread is about to explode. Let the pregaming commence.

 

No problem. I'm already trying to cram a lot into this visit.

Headed to Other Half now!

 

Remember without pics it did not happen!!

 

Cheesesteaks.

And now a round of Plinys at Monks @JBowenGeorgia @thisischuck01 .

 

@Vidblain first beer I've had in a week. I was preparing for haze. As soon as i started pouri knew how wrong i was. Excellent traditional ipa. Could drink this all the time

 

If you maintain a one cheesesteak to beer ratio, you'll still be fine come share time.

 

I was promised a thread explosion two hours ago

 

FYI, y'all, the share officially starts at 6pm Eastern. A reminder to please join us virtually if you can't be here in person. I expect we'll be popping open beers from many of you.

Anyone still thinking about joining in person, message me and I'll get you the details. It's in Elkins Park, PA just north of Philadelphia. Easy to reach via public transportation and plenty of free on-street parking if you bring a designated driver. I'm somewhat embarrassed that we only have four states represented now. I'm looking at you Jersey. (But we could also use more Pennsylvanians -- we risk being outnumbered by New Yorkers of all people!)

 

Enjoy!

I took a look at the race route, and you're going to have some spectacular views along the way; don't forget to take it all in as you go. And good luck !
