THIS IS ME, IN A BOX BIF

Quick update...I have all my bottles picked out. Waiting on iadler's 12 slot shipper to use myself, and I plan on sending out both boxes at once. I assume early next week everything will be on its way.

 

Thanks brotha... and if you love overrated I bet I would too just sayin... no pressure.

 

LOL...I'm not going to pass on anything I just got. If the theme is 'This is me in a box'...I'm definitely not a re-trader. Sorry

 

I didn't even thinking of that - of course not. I'll have to set something up for my anniv on BA.

 

No overrated for you huadog! You're not worthy!

 

Truth be told...after tomorrow at the Phillies game all of my Overrated will be GONE!

I also received one hell of an awesome box today from iadler...it included:

- Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Barleywine (one of my absolute faves for the style)
- Boulevard Rye-on-Rye (long time want)
- Surly Five (awesome beer)
- Surly Darkness 2011 AND 2012 (boom!)
- Odell Meddler (I am a huge fan of both Odell and Oud Brunes, so very happy about this one)
- Steel Toe Lunker (I have heard very good things)
- Lift Bridge Irish Coffee Stout (this sounds amazing)
- Dangerous Man Brewing T (killer)
- Founder Brewing Company tulip glass (this thing is huge and is going to get me in trouble)
- Surly Darkness Snifter (I have wanted one of these forever!)

And to Recap, my first box was:

- Steel Toe Size 7 IPA
- 4 pack of Surly Coffee Bender
- 4 pack of Surly Furious
- 4 pack of Sury Overrated





This was all soooo worth the wait.

Isaac, I cannot thank you enough for your generosity, and for absolutely killing it.

And thanks to Lobo for putting this all together.

My box of goodness is heading out ASAP...need to grab some schwag first.

Cheers!

 

Cheers Vince! Glad you liked your boxes. Enjoy the brews and swag! I had a fun time shopping/packing for this.

Thanks again to Brandon for hosting. Longest bif ever, but glad I participated!

 

Two big boxes of beer and other fun things are heading west. Expected arrival is slated for Saturday. Cheers!

 

Lol...my thanks too Brandon. Something tells me he is not planning round 2 out anytime soon

 

Is this STILL going on? Seriously though, a fun BIF. Lobo, I hope there is not a round 2 coming soon.
My FedEx bill has been ridiculous this year!

 

ok - so box #1 was just dropped off at FedEx heading to Brandon in Minnesota sitting in a corner - just a box of some goodies to wet your whistle! Also just got my hands on a limited beer released last week and already sold out - may or may not make it into box #2...

 

Apparently, one half of my porch-stabbin arrived a day early.

 

Huge thanks to G311 - I was fortunate to have VG send me beers!! It looks like our palates are aligned because all of these beers are right up my alley. I was crushed with great beers and some awesome treats&swag!

Box #1:
Evolution Lot No6 Double IPA - was good!
New Glarus Enigma - want!
New Glarus Apple Ale - want!
Bells Oberon
Terrapin WnB - always want
Weyerbacher Whiskey Barrel Aged - looking fwd to
Sixpoint 3Beans - love coffee beers
CW Peruvian Morning - again coffee
BCBS 2012 - never have enough
Fegley's Insidious Imp Stout - looking fwd to
Great Lakes BA Blackout Stout - love this beer

I'll post box 2 soon!

 

Thanks VG for another great box of beer, a few favorites and a bunch of new ticks. This was a great BIF, thanks for running it lobo - looking forward to hanging out this weekend! Cheers!

Box #2:
Maine Beer Zoe - was tasty!
Big Black Voodoo Daddy - great beer
Williamsburg Aleworks Cafe Royale - we enjoyed this one already!
Weyerbacher Sour Black - new tick
CCB Marshal Zhukovs - old favorite!
Forest & Main Marius - can't wait to try this beer, off my radar
NG Serendipity - favorite beer
Iron Hill RIS - looking fwd to this one, haven't had
Victory Oak Horizontal - new tick
BCBS Coffee Stout - shared this Sat, favorite beer!
Troegs Flying Mouflan - new tick
CL Rosso e Marrone B4 - shared this yesterday along w B2, thanks!

 

Glad to see everything made it safe and sound, and that it is well received. I really tried to send along a solid mix of my favorites, both local and that which is distributed. The New Glarus were obviously traded for, but when I saw them on your wants I had to throw them in!

Hope you enjoy all the new ticks. Forest & Main is the real deal, and one of the owners/head brewer is a helluva nice guy, so I def wanted to hook you up with the F&M goods. My only regret is no glassware

Maybe when they start selling some nice glasses (pints glasses only for the time being) I'll have to complete the set.

Cheers from PA, and thanks again to Lobo for putting this one together!

 

this is just a starter box. I figured they are beers you most likely have not had. Not sure how some of them will taste after some years, but worth checking out. I plan on having a similar tasting myself. Enjoy.
