Masters BIF - Need 7 players

I'm down

 

Sounds like a fun and nice sized BIF for my first... count me in!

 

I'm VERY in for this.

 

Count me in.

 

I will participate if there is still room.

 

Count me in if there is room.

 

fingers crossed for a good draw. saw 5 or 6 "premium" groups I would be very happy with

 

My first box arrived today--thanks to poonamibaxter!

I opened the box and found an awful lot of wet cardboard and paper... I was pretty nervous that something had broken, but everything is intact and it doesn't look like anything leaked. Either the box sat somewhere wet and picked up some moisture, or (more likely), poonamibaxter accidentally emptied his UroClub into the box before he sealed it up.

Anyway, on to the haul:



Holy. Shitsnacks.

L-R:

Jester King Black Metal (Major Want)
2010 Abyss (Perma Want, and I LOVE the 2010)
2011 Barrel-Aged Yeti (HUGE Want)

What a way to start the weekend. Massive thanks, poonamibaxter. If we do the U.S. Open BIF, I hope I end up shipping to you so I can hook you up in return!

 

phew... almost threw a Black Metal in my box. glad you got it from another player. nice box poonami

 

Wow, that's a nice box. Markasparov is going to potentially be swimming in beer if he wraps up the Jeopardy title. Plus, he's in YaKnowBrady's Movie BIF.

 

Glad it made it safely. The Black Metal is from the second bottling run they did so its aged and ready to drink now. The 2010 Abyss has hit its stride and is drinking great. And BA Yeti is one I my favorite beers ever, hard to let it go.

Drink up Buddy, you've earned it

 

Got my first box today! Not sure from who, so identify yourself! But, to be honest this box may not even be from this...I did well in an NCAA BIF too...

Anyway, here's the haul:



- Great Divide Old Ruffian (always wanted to try!)
- Odell IPA (awesome.)
- Supplication (my first ever sour! Quite a way to break my cherry. Get it?)
- Alesmith Wee Heavy (huge want of mine, I love Scotch Ales)

Awesome, and thank you!

 

Oh man. Another BA absolutely killed the Masters box. If we do this again for the US Open, I have to spend all my time between now and then improving my cellar so I can send a box half as good as these if I lose!

From baybassboy:



L-R:

Dog. Not part of the box. Just guarding the beer.
Hangar 24 Barrel Roll (#4 Hammerhead)--I've never had anything from Hangar 24, but I've wanted to try them, and it's impossible to go wrong when your first taste is a barleywine aged in bourbon AND rye barrels.
AleSmith Speedway Stout (this was a Want, but then I had my first taste of it a few weeks ago. Now it's a MEGA-Want. I love this beer).
AleSmith Wee Heavy (Big Want)
Kern River Class V Stout (The only reason this wasn't a Want is that I didn't know it existed until I opened this box. PSYCHED.)
2x PtE (What can I say? Huge want--two fresh bottles!)
RR Sanctification (Want, and my first taste of a RR 'ation!)
Six-pack holder to attach to a golf bag. Is it possible baybassboy has found a way to get me to actually enjoy myself when I play golf?
Divot tool with "Beer is Good" ball marker.
Birthday card!

Morgan, you killed this. Amazing box--thank you!!!

 

Awesome box, well done Morgan!

 

when I saw that I was the only California BA in this BIF, i knew it was gonna be awesome win or lose. glad I could hit some wants, and throw in a few other SoCal only beers.

from having that Hammerhead a couple of times, it may not be a bad idea to let it sit a little bit. kinda hot, and the rye whisky is a little too present IMO, but it is a pretty enjoyable beer now if you can't wait.

looking forward to the US Open!

 

Nice to see some phat boxes getting floated.

Big thanks to VanillaMike for putting this on.

 

So, this ended up being an NCAA BIF box, right?
