NBS BIF #13: Peninsular Envy 2 (The Rocket-Ball Inception)

Sebi's?
I think that's what you're thinking of. I've only been there once, but it was real tasty.

 

I love eating my breakfast every morning and catching up on what I missed the night before. Seems like every day there are at least 2-4 people posting pics of beer hauls. Great hits @WunderLlama & @Mbgreg. @ovaltine what the f did you do to that glass?!

 

Great hits all around, and interesting reviews! I love seeing all of the brews landing across the country.

That's the beer that I never drink anymore, but was instrumental in bring craft beers to Pittsburgh. The name is funny now because the hops pale in comparison to today's IPA's, but back in the early 00's Big Hop was mostly what I drank in bars.

Yikes. As per @FBarber's question above, I've been watching the tracking of my packages way too often. I sent out 2 boxes to Kiribati at the same time on Monday, and another Tuesday morning. Somehow the two I sent together got split up. One landed in Everett, which is the one that was delivered yesterday(a day early in fact). The other landed in Kent and has been scanned as departing, but hasn't been scanned in over 24 hours. It's still scheduled for delivery by the end of today though. The third box that I shipped on Tuesday somehow showed up in Fresno this morning, but still scheduled for deliver by the end of day tomorrow. We'll see how this plays out. If everything lands safely with a couple days of delay, I'll consider that a more than fair trade off.

 

I had this on tap at Brewery Vivant but they were out of cans - this was their version of a crowler - so I haven't rated this yet. I found both the maple and spruce rather weak, but not knowing how they used the spruce, it was hard to know what to expect. I think this was only my second or third Sahti as well.

 

Nice Bill Nye cameo!

 

I'm not really a drinker of hard liquor in general. I do like gin and club soda from time to time.

 

Heard the mail man back in to my drive way,
I knew is was in trouble as this has never been done before.

I was both scared and excited.

the damage was severe.

Time to get to unpacking

@ovaltine , I have heard stories of your hits but what have you done

 

I would have reacted the same way. I sent a FedEx box a few weeks ago to a first time trade partner in the Carolinas. All day it said "on truck for delivery," and then at 6pm changed to "in FedEx possession, Pittsburgh." By that time of day I had no one that I could reach out to, so we just had to wait. Miraculously, an hour and a half later, it scanned as delivered and was on his porch. They never rang the bell or anything. He found it by accident when taking out the trash.

One of my outstanding boxes says it's now made it to the Kiribati post office, which should be its final destination. Now to get that last one out of Fresno.

Now that is some heavy artillery. I think it's safe to say well done to @ovaltine already!

 

So I lied about the Hyper local nature of my last box to my target. I forgot I had to go to Tampa Saturday to pick up a stout from Woven Water brewing. So there will be some Tampa cans and crowlers in the box. Damn.. not I need to find a bigger box.

 

Ok took a lunch break, all unboxed and chilling in the fridge so I can dive in later today.

@ovaltine , you are simply a madman..

All but dark lord are new to me and bare hands/ transient are new brewery’s to boot.

Box landed from @FrankenMiller and it was some heavy hitters! Pictures up soon.

 

Boom! Like that !

 

My porch whimpers at the very mention of his name. Say both his name and @WesMantooth's, and the porch will physically recoil.

 

Good to know.

 

Nice work, @ovaltine!

 

@BBThunderbolt

 

I've had no experience like that with regular boxes. I simply had an epiphany one day when I sent a non flat rate box and was profoundly startled by how much more expensive it was then if I had put the items into a flat rate box instead. I won't make that mistake again.
