As if the bomb ass looking 6 days weren't enough, @xKURTx included a stupid amount of killer extras... cans, bottles, swag, and even some shady looking popcorn, but I won't discriminate. Wayyyy too much Kurt, but I'll be making one hell of a dent in the extras this coming week!
Bad beer advocate here. Forgot to post the awesome haul from @brutalfarce over here last week. Couple TH top 250 bangers which have already been consumed and some other great stuff. Thanks William, looking forward to next week when I get to dig into the wrapped goodies!
Yesterday I came home to a some bomb from @azuelke, filled with a lot of new tick and styles I’ve never had. This is going to be a great 4th of July/birthday week. I can’t wait to start the shenanigans. Thanks Adams and cheers
Big box of goodies from @MTKATL , with the looks of new ticks and new bourbon to try (including a Foghat for cocktails). Much thanks dude, can’t wait to try the wrapped stuff soon!
Box of goodies arrived from RVA. Day 6 is a neat gold cap can, and I'm intrigued. A bunch of extras and an unwanted #chugs. Thanks for the beers @Burrass will be working on these while at the lake next week!
@Greeny87 decided to show me a thing or two about IPAs in this round. Two boxes of some really high-quality stuff, including the wrapped beers as I had learned over the last few days:
Six fun days from @Burrass Loved the new Answer fruited ticks, the SP was awesome as a lake beer. Aslin and Answer Stouts were full of flavor and very nice. Thanks for this Matt!
With Halloween quickly approaching, I think it's time to get this years round of Newbies Halloween BIF rolling!!! The requirements: Six wrapped vessels of beer and 6 candy pairings to be enjoyed from October 26 (Wednesday) - October 31 (Monday), 4.0+ on BA or untappd, unless it is a want of your target. Beer must be from outside your target's distribution. Extras are not required, but if you feel the need to send on some more beer than required, please limit to 10 max. As with past years' Halloween BIF, each shipper will provide their target with six individually wrapped beers (bottle, can, growler, etc). Each of these packages will be tagged with the order and/or date on which they should be opened, and each day the target will open the designated package for that day, take a photo and post it, and I guess drink some beer. Minimum ~100 oz. of beer. I trust your judgement, but since the number of beers is limited, we should probably try to avoid a box of exclusively small format beers. Feel free to double up small format beers for a single day, verticals are always fun! This is open to any past participants or lurkers. New Newbies looking to join with fewer than 5 positive trades will require a sponsor - if that's you, just speak up and we'll figure something out! The timeline: Boxes need to be in your target's hands on or before October 22. There is nothing wrong with it landing well before this date, so don't wait until the last minute. It's never fun having a box land after the start of a 6er round. Send me a PM with the following information (title the message Newbies Halloween 2022 so I can easily reference it.) Name, shipping address, and cellphone number Shirt size (just in case...swag is not required, but is certainly not prohibited) Any 'Do Not Ship' dates (i.e. you’ll be out of town) Untappd username Style likes/dislikes Pairings for this round will be a free-for-all, aside from touching/same state targets. Pretty simple, and this does mean that you very well may get a target, or sender, that you have had in the past! Sign-ups to close on 9/23, and hopefully targets to be assigned that weekend. Don't hesitate, send your PMs NOW!
