NFL Draft mini-BIF Hints and Hauls

@dannyfayy - where do you find Head Hunter in PA? seekabrew says we get distro, and you sent it to whyteboy so I'm guessing you got it locally, but I never see it! I got a couple as extras in a trade and loved it, would love to pick up some more.[/QUOTE]
Quick history of Fat Heads. Originally started as a restaurant in Pittsburgh, that served monster sandwiches and had an awesome tap list. They actually had Rogue brew a beer called, Fat heads Ale, which is now Youngers Special Bitter. THen they opened the Ohio brewpub and bottling facility in Cleveland. So I refer to Fat Heads as being a Pittsburgh brewery, even though, technically all beer is brewed in Ohio. Fat Heads is distributed in Indiana, Ohio, Western PA, and parts of Florida.
I'm from north of Pittsburgh, so its on tap EVERYWHERE and on every bottle shop shelf. I'm going to assume you are in the Eastern Side of PA, which is why you cant find it. I travel to Happy Valley a few times a year, and Ive never even seen it there. So, I don't think they distribute past Johnstown/Altoona.
Ill be traveling to Lancaster at some point this summer, would gladly bring you some if you want if that's close for you.

 

No problem. From seekabrew, Fat Heads and dark horse are the only "limited" breweries that Pittsburgh gets, haha. Philly gets all the good ones, RR, FW, alesmith, captain Lawrence, cigar city, evil twin, jester king, lost abbey, sixpoint, spring house, perennial, and the bruery.

 

We get Deschutes (just the basics, black butte, etc. They just started distributing a month ago), Thirsty Dog, some Ithica (Flower Power I have seen around), and some Allagash (not the good stuff, haha).
No Cascade, HOTD, or Fifty Fifty.

 

Fat Heads is an Ohio brewery that's why the location in Pittsburgh is called the Fat Heads Saloon but I understand why we disagree haha. They will actually be a multi state brewery once the Portland location opens because they will be brewing there but it'll always be an Ohio brewery to me because Matt Cole is the guy who makes this place go.

One of his assistant brewers recently left and is starting up his own place in Ohio City called Platform brewing company...sounds like a really cool concept and I'm really looking forward to see what they do.

 

Nope I'm home, enjoying the hand delivered BIF box from an always generous @johnyb !

 

Congrats again Drei on your first BIF, nicely done! Careful, they can be addicting!

 

My target's box is packed. Several wants ticked and a barrel aged brew to taste as well.

 

This is my 1st BIF. Looking forward to posting pics. Joined a 2nd BIF. I am more active on that thread. Thanks for the new addiction. See you in the next BIF.

 

There is nothing more exciting than knowing I still have two boxes coming, but no clue when. It turns an average day into an awesome one when an employee walks in my office with a box I wasn't expecting

 

My boxes will be going out today.

 

I think I still have 2 boxes coming in, was the winner supposed to receive 9 or 10? Not sure if I got the mini..

 

Haven't been paying attention to the thread like I should have. The Lacto is from me... saw it on your "Wants" list so I tossed it your way. Cheers!

 

My sender posted earlier that he was shipping today. Don't want @mj0126 going on any naughty lists.

 

My box was double duty, draft and mini bif.

 

Ok great, just wasn't sure, a couple boxes were a lil "heavy" but thanks again.
Matt

 

I received my Mini BIF box from @SirPutzly, one regular BIF box from @Lehighace06, and one from @johnyb, who is a friend of mine. All great and all delicious!

 

Literally just had a box dropped on my desk, thanks David (from Texas)!

 

I got my box...as far as the picture goes...well, I done drank them beers right away, so I have no picture! It was a great box with some BCBS and BCBCS. Neither of which I can have too much of. My boxes hopefully should have landed already. If they haven't, I'm guessing it'll be today since I shipped out before the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

 

surprise in the mail today. I think from @SaulTBauls

 

Bingo

 

@SaulTBauls think I got one too but I wont be opening it until next fri. Its safe in my house though.
Thx homie

 

Finally headed back home after a nice trip to Cali. Excited to open up my mini bif box. As well as the two 12 bottle shippers full of west coast stuff shipped back home. Don't tell my wife, she only knows about the 1 box.

 

Big thanks to @jshusc for this awesome box. 2 big wants, including my first Pipeworks beer. The Gose is a perma-want, will be a great post-grass cutting beer tomorrow night. Excited to try some other Carolina Beers. Thanks man !!

 

Cheers brother! That Trifecta is a collaboration of Thomas Creek and the Community Tap, a pretty cool beer and growler shop in Greenville, SC. I enjoyed it.

 

Mini - Small, little, something lacking in size

Crazy Generous - The box @mj0126 dropped on my porch for the mini BIF.



Just look at that NE goodness. It all looks so amazing.

Trillium Pot and Kettle - Love Oatmeal Porters
Wormtown Be Hoppy - Rated 100 by the bros. AWESOME
CBC Flower Child - Looks like the perfect spring weather IPA
Maine Peeper - Had it one time and I prefer it to Lunch - SUPER THANK YOU
Trillium Fort Point - SUPER WANT

Even though my draft picks were at the bottom this box makes me feel like I finished in first place. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

 

I have an uneasy feeling someone will be dropping a bomb at my office today.... we may have to evacuate

 

If this is your first taste of Be Hoppy, you're in for a treat. I just traded for 3 4 packs of it. It may very well be my favorite IPA. Wormtown is the tits.

 

Thx @SaulTBauls for the nice box, Mirror Mirror and a New Glarus wild sour ale. Havent tried anything from New Glarus and that was going to be the next thing i traded for.

thanks again

 

I'd have posted a full haul, but I've already consumed 4 of them and am currently trying to not cry watching Men of Honor.
