2016 Fantasy Hockey BIF

Thanks so much @gopens44 for running this again! I still can't believe I won from the 7 seed—I feel like the 2012 Kings. Now if the Sabres could just get their shit together, my hockey life would be perfect...

I'll pick @BuffaloBill12, @not2quick, @SRBush1974, and @mj0126. I'll message you all now.

Thanks everyone for an awesome season! Looking forward to the playoffs even without a rooting interest.

 

Oh also, @Damian74 you're up!

 

I'll take @gopens44 and @clake

Thanks

@NateMN

You're up!

 

Great season everyone and congrats @djgustafson !

Sent you a message and I'll get you a NJ/NY box out shortly.

 

Congrats to @djgustafson and thanks to everyone for a fun season, and @gopens44 for running the whole shin-dig. Looking forward to what tweaks we can make to the format and make it even better for next year!

 

Ill go @VonZipper. Thanks!

 

and the time comes to pay for my dumpster fire of a fantasy hockey season. Congrats to all who won.

 

Thank you @clake!

 

Thank you @st9647v3!



Awesome boxes guys!

Cheers!

 

You're welcome, though I think the pics are reversal of what we sent, either way, enjoy!

 

@st9647v3 Wow, I almost made a trip down to Kane to grab some Head High with the off chance some other fans were available. I was also pretty close to throwing in a single it beer as well but didn't want to pack a bottle. I'm 15 minutes from Magnify so that's always an option for me with these BIFs. Not bad between the two of us most likely being pretty close to each other and not sending the same stuff.

@Damian74 I saw that you've had 077 before but I threw it in as an extra for an excuse for me to buy some.

 

I'm glad you threw it in. Thank you.

 

Received my first box today from @not2quick, and I was thrilled with all the contents! All new beers for me, and some major wants.

Narrow Gauge - Fallen Flag: I've been hearing some awesome stuff about their IPAs, so I'm excited to try this one out tonight while watching some hockey!
4 Hands - Super Flare: Want! I'm also a Wicked Weed fanboy, so getting to try this collab will be perfect.
Lost Abbey - Track #8: Want! Cinnamon, chilies, and barrel-aged = right up my alley.
Goose Island - BCBW 2016: Want! I was starting to believe that this beer didn't exist, and I've been craving BA barleywine lately.
Mothers Brewing - MILF: Want! Have seen people talking about this one for awhile, so I'm interested to see how this one matches up to other 12 oz. BA stouts.
Schlafly - Imperial Coffee Stout: I didn't know this beer existed, but BA coffee stouts are my jam! This one definitely should've been a want.

Again, thanks so much Justin for this awesome box!

 

Hope you enjoy them!

 

Awesome box from the commish @gopens44 ! Thank you, all wants/new ticks. Also love what looks to be a home made bottle opener? Made from a hockey stick and loks to be an ice skate lace?

Thanks!

 

Came home to this awesome box today from @mj0126!

All of these Alchemist beers are new to me except for Heady, which is a perma-want. I was up in Vermont last year for one night and tried so hard to find Focal, but it eluded me. I finally get to try the other beers from this brewery!

Modern Times - BA Monster's Park: My first stout from Modern Times! Psyched to try this one.
Lawson's Finest - Sip of Sunshine: Tried this last year in Vermont but was several beers deep, so I'm super excited to see what it tastes like when I can still taste...
Cigar City - White Oak Jai Alai: Want! Have heard awesome things about this beer.
Fort Hill - Jigsaw Jazz DIPA: Never heard of this brewery, but I love the can-art and the reviews for this one look stellar.

All in all an awesome collection of beers. Thanks so much Marc!

 

A few days late, but I got this box from @BuffaloBill12 on Thursday. Some awesome new beers to me!

Half Acre - Fluorescent: Was so psyched to see this one in the box as I love Half Acre hops. Already tried one last night, and it was soooo good. All Nelson Sauvin goodness.
Marz - Double Jungle Boogie: Haven't heard of this brewery or beer, but love the sound of it!
Marz - Midway CHIPA: Love the sound of this one—brewed with citra lupulin powder!
Pipeworks - Crimson Snapper: I'm thrilled to try one of the fish-series of beers from Pipeworks! This one will probably be for tonight.
Pipeworks - Smoke Break Abduction: I've only tried one of the abductions before, and it was awesome. Really excited to give this one a go!
Goose Island - BCBS '16: I'm never able to track down more than a bottle or two of this every November, so this one is really appreciated!

Thanks so much for the Chicago box, @BuffaloBill12. And glad to know that there's another Sabres fan out there. Next year is our year!
