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

Okay, reading through this brought me to the realization that some of you are playing on a whole other level, this is amazing.
Absolutely stunning.

 

Holy Mother of God! You now have your own bottleshop to run! Frank is a madman, indeed!

 

Yeah, that 66oz minimum sounds quaint.

 

Wow. Just wow. Just when I think I have this BIF thing figured out, I am taught that there are levels and I must level up!
Beautiful hit Frank!

 

Yeah it’s been crazy, Just won a random number pull for some bourbon samples in the ISO/FT forum this week too. Given the proven efficiency of the law of averages I’m expecting a return to the usual loooong dry spell, starting now.

Also means I’ve got some karma to pay back.

I did give Powerball a shot, just in case, but that didn’t get very far ($4).

 

And I know that doesn’t do a thing to hurt business... there’s a shop set up in our little downtown in Aiken, not much bigger than a closet (that’s the shop and the downtown), and when they’re roasting it’s damn near impossible to walk past without going in.

Got a grinder at home and another at work - it’s a way of life!

 

I'VE BEEN HIT!!!

Before giving a rundown of @2beerdogs's amazing salvo, let me say two things. First, these 16 cans were all packed into a single USPS Large Flat-Rate Box, easily the most I've ever seen in this particular explosive device. Second, I've only had one of these beers, which is an incredible feat given that I lived in CA for more than forty years of my life. Super-excited, among other things, about getting to try some new, real-deal, born-on-the-West-Coast WCIPAs. First, the photographic evidence:





And the list:

Boeman Belgian White Ale
Bottle Logic Black is Beautiful Imperial Stout
Bottle Logic Fractal Curve Peanut Brittle-Inspired Pastry Strong Ale
Pizza Port Taste for Adventure IPA
Almanac BA Apricot Sournova
Mason Aleworks Power Player DIPA
Smog City Solar Wind IPA
Pizza Port Swami's IPA (the only one of these I've had)
Henhouse Good Gracious, The Vapors IPA
Henhouse Constantine is Charlemagne DIPA
Henhouse Certified Independent AF IPA
Henhouse x Fort Point Selektor IV Pale Ale
The Bruery Hold the Spoon Imperial Milk Stout
The Hop Concept IPA
Smog City Strange Times VI DDH IPA
Smog City Quarantine Machine IPA

Thanks, Derek! This is going to make for an amazing post-Lent return to high-quality beer drinking!

 

Glad to see that one made it, there should be a USPS flat rate box there as well...or at least that's what USPS tracking is claiming...

 

Another box from @JayORear turned up today.

 

Okay, sifting through the detritus, I'm finding the weapons used by @JayORear were as follows:

1xbag of coffee beans from Rival Bro's. (I love good coffee, and am happy to grind beans)
1x8.4oz Free Will Ralphius (interestingly enough, @Victory_Sabre1973 is getting a can of something this size as well)

1x16oz Trillium On Streets (that's right, he's dropping Trillium beers on my ass!)
1x16oz Trillium Dot Ave
1x16oz Mystery Beer (OMG He got a clue made into a label! I love this!)

1x16oz Trillium The Streets
1x16oz New Trail Flannel Weather
1x16oz New Trail Broken Heels

Holy Crap!

I've barely begun to make a dent in what he previously sent me, and now Jay has done it again! I'd like to say I'll be getting on this, pronto, but I gotta make a beer run to Idaho today! If y'all stop hearing from me, direct the authorities to look under the enormous pile of cans!

Thanks, Jay, this is awesome!

 

Good to see if landed, because I don't trust your post office. They'd done shady things in the past. Where that bottle of Moksa Nutterzzzzz ended up we'll never know.

 

It’s Friday, but Sunday is coming!
Very nice salvo @2beerdogs , very nice indeed. So, guessing it was Dr. Who that taught you to pack. Amazing.

 

Yup, Jay really knows how to sling beer around to amazing destructive capacities. Another beautiful strike!

 

I can see it now somewhere in another life @2beerdogs was the driver of a clown car.

 

I've come to accept that large numbers of people in this BIF own Tardises (Tardisi?) and are not afraid to use them when shipping beer.

 

Doing The Streets vs. Streets on Streets side-by-side is fun, as long as you don't have to drive (or walk) anywhere afterwards. And Rival's my favorite PA roaster by far, maybe even my favorite East Coast roaster. Forgot to write on the mystery beer that it's 7% and nitro . . . give it a few shakes and do a hard center pour (cold). You'll discover our common pop-culture genre, too
