    A little Friday night beer pRon from @RuckIt. Had to share this before you see me check them in on Untappd.
    Clown Shoes Breakfast Exorcism - American Imperial Stout aged in rye barrels with espresso--Loved Crasher in the Rye so I am sure I will love this!
    Hill Farmstead - Everett - Robust American Porter-- Been dying to try this! Only my second from Hill Farmstead
    Trillium Tit-Tay - Made it to Denver safe and sound!
    Trillium - Artaic - Double IPA - Brewed with raw wild flower honey --
    Trillium - Vicinity - Double IPA -- First from Trillium that I have had and I hope it is not the last!

    Thanks so much this BIF has been so much fun!

    That Breakfast Exorcism is MA only release, and that was my last bottle. So damn good!

    And don't worry BIF'ers, that's only 4 of the 11-12 bottles in the second box. That means @Elkevjoe is holding out more **** for later!

    Got a damn sexy box from @Bristopher89 today. Didn't get home until half an hour ago and dove right in. First the cans...
    [​IMG]
    Live Oak - Hefe. World class bro. New tick, can't wait!
    Austin Beerworks - Specialty IPA. I've had their Alt, can't wait for this one!
    Independence - Red Bud Berliner Weissbier. New brewery, solid style.

    And now onto the big bottles... With a very curious photobomber.
    [​IMG]
    512 Brewing - Wild Bear wild ale. Oak aged Brett wild ale... Funky!
    Strange Land - Entire Porter. Dry English porter YUP.
    Real Ale - Three Lions IIPA. I've heard good things, can't wait!
    Lone Pint - Yellow Rose. The only beer in the box that I've had before, and LOVED it. So glad to have it again!
    Deschutes - The Abyss (2014). Big time Want, can't wait to crack this bad boy!

    What an awesome box - thanks for all the great brews Chris!!!!






























    Oh, I almost forgot - it appears Chris also broke into Jester King and decided to share some of his spoils. First ever JK for me, and holy shit, what a haul!!!

    Everything's bigger in Texas, so I had to make sure it was all awesome and lots of it. The ABW heavy machinery is their Wet Hop IPA. Almost exclusively Centennial hops that were 18 hours old when they went into the beer. Drink that shizz right meow

    Excellent pack job.

    I'll put my box in a box for youuuuu

    Ok...now on to what DESTROYED my porch this afternoon:

    [​IMG]

    They just kept coming and coming. And the run down:

    [​IMG]
    Boulevard Brewing Bourbon Barrel Quad with Cherries (2014) - Not on my wants list (but certainly should've been)
    New Glarus Enigma (Flanders Oud Bruin) - I loved Troegs Splinter Brown Ale and I have NEVER been disappointed by NG. Fantastic brewery
    New Glarus Scream DIPA - Has been a want for a while, but maybe not on my BA list.
    New Glarus Apple Ale - My sender knows I have a huge b0ner for NG and I'm stoked for this one.
    New Glarus Raspberry Tart - I love their fruit beers and I've had this one before, but in a very small amount and probably when I was a little toasty at a bottle share. Definitely not drinking anything before I try this one again.

    [​IMG]
    Pipeworks Lizard King APA- Awesome art on the can! The Pipeworks stuff that I've had in the past has been very good so this will be gone probably before the weekend is done and also because hops.
    Pipeworks S'more Money S'more Problems Imperial Stout- Big Time Want. Can't wait to enjoy this around a campfire soon.
    Surly Todd The Axe Man IPA - Recent want.
    Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat Milk Stout Bourbon Barrel Aged - Sounds delicious! I don't think I've had anything from these guys.

    [​IMG]

    4 Hands Brewing Peanut Butter Chocolate Milk Stout - Sounds right up my alley.
    Three Floyds Moloko Milk Stout - Had this before at a tasting (while toasty). I'm definitely looking forward to giving this one an honest tasting.
    Three Floyds Topless Wytch Baltic Porter - Sounds tasty. Plus, who doesn't like titties?!

    [​IMG]
    Central Waters Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Scotch Ale - CW stuff that I have had has been fantastic. I expect no less from this beer.
    Logsdon Seizoen Bretta - Big time want.

    I cannot say how thankful I am for this. @jschott75, you are the man. Thank you!!!

    @jfstilling is in this BIF? :astonished:

    Careful with that Seizoen Bretta, I opened one (and Oak Bretta and Peche n Brett #humblebrag) with @Greeny87 and it tried to hit the ceiling.

    Glad you're happy. I hit some wants then just started to add things I like to drink that may not be available in your area. Drink the hops soon. The Todd is older than what I would normally send, but I knew it was a want and a once a year type of thing. :slight_smile: Enjoy
