should've asked man probably could've squeezed in a day late, get in the next one though blind format was fun
I didnt wanna be that guy haha. I'm gonna definitely be in the next round of I'm home for the shipping window. And I agree, the blind format is pretty solid, I really enjoyed that during 12DOX. Will do!
Totally slacked on my last day and haul pic: Day 6 from @Eziel: Couple of excellent beers from my 2 favorite Ohio breweries. The killshot: Somehow 2 of the bottles walked off on me, but this is still a ridiculously loaded 6 days. Thanks a ton Eric, it was a lot of fun.
Hi Newbies. It looks like an Anniversary BIF is starting up in the SWTFYW thread. Feel free to hop in , the more the merrier
Looks like we have an Anniversary coming up on 8/26/19 boys and girls. Hopefully we can get some #vbs in the thread for the occasion?
Getting around to proper thanks for two recent ninjas First box showed up courtesy of @HeartofMiami: Fantastic line-up of FL goodies: JWB, FB, Civil Society, CS/Angry Chair collab, Invasive Species, Bangin' Banjo plus out-of-town action from OH, Bissell and Stoneface. Jared, many thanks as always! Have been going through this tasty selection as I plan a proper response. Second up was a ninja from @azuelke: Full line-up from a new brewery for me, Eagle Park. Have definitely been enjoying cracking their beers, great local gem. Also included: TG, Eagle Park/TG collab, NW, CW and Untitled Art. Many thanks for this total surprise box Adam, have really been enjoying this quality line-up!
Just about to get caught up on some VERY late and neglected hauls, and noticed I never posted my last 2 days of the Summer Sixer, much less a killshot. My sincere apologies @Griff57, I am absolutely the worst. I'll do one hell of a #chugs for you this weekend for my penance, hopefully you will accept. Anyway, going all the way back to day 5, I was able to share this bottle with both @beermanben and @Satch44. All of us thought that there was some sort of pepper, which was obviously coming from the coffee. Even so, there was plenty of chocolate and coffee flavor to make this beer highly enjoyable. Thanks Chris!
Day 6 of 6 brought one hell of a head scratcher. I had a hard time nailing down the exact flavors and barrel... The grapes and currants, mixed with both the wine and bourbon barrels made it extremely hard to figure this beer out. While a complete mind fuck, it all worked out well and was thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks again @Griff57!
And finally, a pseudo killshot since it appears as though I never took one, and those bottles/cans are long gone... If I didn't express it enough throughout the six days, thank you once again for the amazing lineup @Griff57, and maybe even more so, my apologies for missing the posts of this and the last 2 days
Just a few days after the sixer ended, @jonbonfondle felt the need to send me unwarranted ninja box. A new FW Parabola, BT crowler and a handful of MN hops, this box didn't last long (aside from the FW). Thanks again Juan
Then at the end of July, @locoformavs came through with a GPIUFMB, then more than doubled it! Only the Outer Range remains, but I have a feeling it won't last much longer. Thanks again Logan!
Another GPIUFMB, and then some! But this time from @dprice... All have already been properly disposed of, and all were enjoyed. Thanks again DeShawn!
As mentioned by the man earlier this month, I was able to get that handshake with @Eziel while he was in WI earlier this month. And of course, he didn't travel empty handed... I'm still a little suspect of that JO's, I hope it's seen a couple different temperature fluctuations. Thanks again, and always great seeing you EZ!
Not even 2 weeks after the GPIUFMB box, @locoformavs decided to secretly offload some more be onto me. Thanks again Logan! But that wasn't the only box that week, I had asked @Jackd33 to snag me a bottle of the Listermann/Phase 3 collab. Not only did he send that, but a bunch of hops and a couple other OH goodies as well. Thanks again JD! And last, but not least that week, @timmy2b sent me a rather large thank you box for a couple things I grabbed for him. Thanks again Tim, they went down all too quick!
On August 17th, a few of us Newbies managed to snag some tix for the Morning Delight release, and naturally numerous beers were exchanged. First, both @Vidblain and @brewnic both brought the MN heat. Thanks again guys! Then, @jschott75 thought I may need a little beaver, and then some in my life, and dropped these guys on me. Thanks again Jim! And last but not least, @Satch44 came through with a special GPIUFMB box, and then some. Thanks again Ryan!
