SAVAGES v3

Reveal if @Joplamp brew.

I did pretty good with this one. I figured there was something with the Citra to give this brew a big ripe fruit flavor.

 

A surprise hit from @Nichols33 . All new ticks and/or breweries. Not sure what I did to deserve this, but thanks Jeff, can't wait to start cracking cans.

 

so @Buck89 decided to go and outdo himself with an awesome congratulatory box.



I’m excited to try some of the Shnack series - yum. But those Naturdays trunks really made my pants tight. Those are fantastic John! Thanks so much for thinking of me!

 

@LloydDobler, my target, thought the need to hit me back. He sent this awesome box of Fonta Flora, which is a new to me brewery.

June Bug, Carolina Custard, Tip of the Vibers, Big Shrug, Ticky Ticky Buzz. These all sound excellent. Can’t wait to dig into these. Thanks Chris, I really appreciate it!

 

With Luka putting up a 69, and with @CanConPhilly blowing a 0.19, LIF goes to @zekeman17
Box is on the way

 

@TheGent decided that his 1st 2 boxes weren’t enough so he dropped this box on me yesterday.

The Referend: Krak Krek Krik, Le Mur. I’ve never heard of this brewery & I love blackberries & cherries. These both sound excellent.

Kane: 2920 Anniversary, Mexican Dessert, Mexican Brunch, Black is Beautiful, Ripple & Waimea Pro. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried from Kane. These will be my 1st stouts from them I believe. Really looking forward to these.

Twin Elephant Lil Shimmy Ye. Pale ales are probably my favorite style. Drank this tonight and it was excellent.

Thanks Anthonty. I appreciate all of these & I’m looking forward to retribution!

 

Big week here in Montana. Got hit a couple times and a couple pick-me-ups landed with some excellent extras. Huge thank you’s to @bl00 @CanConPhilly @Oconomowocian @azuelke






Taking both blind beers to a share tomorrow night. Thanks again gentlemen.

 

I have been delinquent on a couple of haul posts, first up a crazy nice thank you box from one of my official targets. Apologies for taking so long to post on BA @r0rschach. John decided to send a thank you box with almost as much beer as I sent him this round:


Bunch of great stuff here including: New Martin House and Turning Point ticks (both favorites of mine), a new JK tick (hell yes), and a BA Best Maid. I loved regular Best Maid and after yesterday, I can attest the the BA version is great too. Thanks a ton for everything John! It was totally unnecessary, but greatly appreciated.

 

The next box up is number 3! for my official sender @JFreres. Now USPS tried their hardest to lose this box, but a month is better than never:


Food items, a chug challenge and a reward beer. Should be posting that chug video very soon and then getting out the Savage Panties to the next target. Thanks for everything you have sent this round Jason!

 

@NorthStateCustomCraft sent a second box to replenish my CA hop supply with a bunch of new North Park IPA’s. I enjoyed all the NP IPA’s from the last box and I’m excited to dig into these.

Also, new beers from Beachwood and The Bruery (#teamfruitedstout). Some delicious sounding fig infused balsamic vinegar which will make it onto my salad for dinner tonight and an intriguing bottle of watermelon flavored corn whiskey. I love watermelon and corn whiskey. This could be fun to mess around with cocktails. Thanks, Bill! Everything sounds great!

 

@azuelke held a LiF, @y2kawakami won, and now I have more beer. Thank you gentlemen, took some smoothing over but I’m not getting divorced quite yet.

 

Speaking of @JayWhitson...
His incoming box had barely been delivered when he returned fire. I'm pumped to try Mountains Walking after all of the good things I've heard. Rusty Nail has also been on my wants list for a while. Thanks again!

 

That @JayWhitson guy is at it again. He is a natural savage. Sorry I am a week late posting these... this was a thank you box that landed before my GPIUFMB box landed. Here is the awesomeness:

First off a ton from a new brewery to me, Mountains Walking. Chopping Wood-Czech Pils, Grazing Clouds NEIPA, Cloud Curtain DDH Mosaic, Cloud Curtain DDH Galaxy, Sweets Sour with cherries, choc, vanilla and lactose, BIB stout, Freemont- Rusty Nail (Jay must have had a case of these because he is bombing a ton of us with them), and By All Means- Kystal Weiss and Bambreeze Milkshake IPA.
Thanks so much Jay... all new ticks and I can say I had the two Could Curtains and they were awesome. Can't wait to get to the rest of these. Thank you so much...Cheers!!!
