Halle Berry's pet Octopus: NBS BIF 8

Unfortunately, I'll probably be out. I sipped through most of the box @jhavs sent via this thread and shared some notes on previous NBSs.

Maybe I'll download the thread and read it in my flight home.

Looking forward to BIF #9.

Cheers.

 

First time having Pliny on draft, Monk's Cafe. @CanConPhilly @thisischuck01

 

I’ve never shipped usps, and I’m a very conservative packer. I might be able to stick 3 cans in a shoe box. I’ve lost boxes early on so now I opt for a shit load of packing material. I struggle to get a lot of beer in a 16 cube box as it is.

 

I have been mastering the art as a young padawan under the tutelage of @SammyJaxxxx . He should really post a YouTube video of how to pack 16oz cans into a large flat rate.cans are a lot more durable than bottles(obviously) and especially so when they are tight together in a solid mass. I leave no room to move in there, but make sure everything is still tied up in a trash bag.

 

Moved onto Tired Hands Ferm, drinking Frequency Illusion: Skin Contact (merlot saison) with @JBowenGeorgia @thisischuck01

 

And now at Tired Hands Cafe, drinking Sir Dudley - Banana French Toast dark mild @JBowenGeorgia @thisischuck01 . We apparently all drink the same beer.

 

that sounds delicious

 

At this rate, that share is going to be an awesome shitshow!

 

I think that is inevitable at this point.

 

That’s the plan!!!!

 

More at Tired Hands. More Grisly - Imperial Squash Porter @JBowenGeorgia @thisischuck01

 

Emergo - Tiny IPA at Tired Hands @JBowenGeorgia @thisischuck01 .

 

A tempting idea my friend, and I thank you for it, but I think I am for the sidelines this go around.

 

Like a beer advent calendar. I love that idea. But I totally get why that wouldn't work for a lot of folks (schedules not able to commit to drink every beer on its proscribed day etc)

 

Spice Wars

 

We’re all drinking BooBs now. Long story, but it’s all @JBowenGeorgia ’s fault.

 

I very well may have been one of those people, ha. Cedar is a big thing for me (as I've intimated on NBS in the past), meaningful from growing up etc (shit, my mom refers to my childhood home as Cedar Grove North ha).
But apparently I didn't review it on here, so maybe I'm just admitting to a misconception held internally but not previously broadcast to the world.

 

I've only ever had the two Snake River brews from that lineup, but really enjoyed them both!

 

As a Fremont-born Seattleite this will not stand!

Any confirmation/otherwise from you gents? I found a 2016 bottle lurking in the back of my 'cellar' if there is not already one in the wind.
