TLNBIFF Hints and Hauls

Oh, I left work early alright... been on the road for a while, and my very supportive wife unpacked the box. Thanks, UtisTheLaw... Sounds like some real treats in there. I can't post **** until Monday. Needless to say, my two senders have rained amazing beers down on me, and I'll be set for a long while.

 

I like to give the millionth kudos for Benzo for running this nice and smooth and awesome. Really liked the 2 targets, 2 senders as well. Excited for round 3, but depending on when that happens, may have to sit out. Trying to save up for a tattoo, and a trip to to NC. I need more money in my life.

 

Well as long as we're having a circle jerk...

The Cans
DC Brau - The Corruption (mmm corrupted by hops)
Devil's Backbone - Striped Bass (a little local action? sweet)
Alchemist - Heady Topper (permawant; just the best)
Oskar Blues - Old Chub (very excited to finally try this!)


Excuse me, trying to take a picture here...


The Lilliputians
Boulevard - Dark Truth (one of my favorite stouts!)
Duck Rabbit - Rabid Duck (big want; glad you nabbed this before pimpinmidget got every last NC beer)
Cigar City - Tocobaga (hooray, my first CC brew!)
O'Connor - Spyhop (love me a white IPA)
O'Connor - El Guapo (really excited for this one)


Big Boys (sorry for the blurry pic)
Williamsburg Alewerks - Rapadou Porter (never heard of this one but sounds awesome)
Maine - Weez (now I'm helping cats and gorillas!)
Ballast Point - Victory at Sea Coffee Vanilla (Fuck. Yeah.)


Everybody crowd in!

Thanks Kenny for the outstanding box! Freaking awesome. Got the hoppy stuff on ice and the rest in the cellar for more gradual consumption. Now I'll have several somethings to look forward to when I get home from work each day. Thanks again!!

 

Glad you liked the box.

 

Lookie what I got at work today!
After vehement reassurance that Texasdrugaddict's first box, in spite of a minor breakage, was totally spectacular; he took it upon himself to SEND ME MORE BEER. This guy's a saint, folks.

The goods:


State Pen Porter - Sante Fe Brewing
Black Butte 23 - Deschutes (BA Porter brewed with oranges?! I'm there.)
Black Butte 24 - Deschutes (I've got quite a nice little vertical shaping up here... Tasting, anyone?)
x2 Saison 88 - Sante Fe Brewing (These are going RIGHT in the fridge...)
Modus Hoperandi - Ska Brewing (This one too... it *IS* national IPA day, is it not?)
Twilight Summer Ale - Deschutes
Obsidian Stout - Deschutes
My cellar now has literally OODLES of beer. I don't know what to DO with it all.

Thank you again, Texasdrugaddict. Don't ever stop being this awesome.

 

Glad to see everything made there in one piece this time. Least i can do, for you having to go to Fedex to pick up your box cause i use a POS box. Enjoy it man.

I wasn't really sure what to send this time, so i just made a mix 6 of what they had in the cooler and pulled out a Black Butte 23 &24 from the celler for since i already sent you a 25. I prefer the 24 the best.

I made sure to throw in a twilight for roomate.

 

Enjoy the beer! I might just have to take you up on that offer when BA Framinghammer comes back out later this year

 

Welp, my second target is supposed to have a box land tomorrow but I haven't seen a tracking update since Monday - so lets hope all is well.

Ahhhhh yeah. I'm on light duty at work so hopefully I'll be out of here soon to go and fix my porch!

 

Oh and both of my boxes should land today. I dont have the tracking numbers with me though.

 

i got a box a few days ago from StoutSeth, but have been super busy this week as its st louis craft beer week, and i have been to a ton of events for that, i will get the pic up either tonight or tomorrow though, sorry for the beer **** delay!

 

Weyerbacher Blasphemy
Hill Farmstead Aurthur
50/50 Eclipse (brandy barrel?)
Heavy Seas BA Siren Noire
Goose Island Fleur

Extremely pumped for each and every single one of these. I have been trying to get my hands on anything hill farmstead for a while!



Jack's Abby Smoked Maple Lager
Jack's Abby BA Framinghammer
Russian River Consecration

Heard awesome things about Jack's abby and after RR pulled out of WA I have been sorely missing them.



Goose Island BCBS
Central Waters Brewers Reserve Stout
Troegs Triple Mango IPA
Manayunk Daydreaming DIPA

Love BCBS and the CW stout. Extremely excited for the mango ipa and DIPA.



Thanks a lot Nesarebad you went above and beyond my expectations. I have only ever tried 2 of the beers you sent and the rest of them either were or should have been wants. I can't tell you how excited I am for the Aurthur! Great packaging by the way, my dog had a lot of fun with the bubble wrap haha. A fair few of these will not last the weekend.

Cheers!

 

Wow!!! Awesome box

 

Just checked the tracking. Hamburg, NY and Virginia Beach should have some boxes

 

Box landed today from ijaap...



3 cans Fremont Interurban IPA
3 cans of GoodLife Descender IPA
Sambrooks Powerhouse Porter
Hair of the Dog Adam (always happy to see any Hair of the Dog)
Four Corner Baltic Porter (I'm gathering this was a beer from Redhook's 2012 Employee Party... Very excited for it. Coffee, hazelnuts, maple syrup, and aged on oak)
Stone Wootstout (not in my market, been interested)
Firestone Parabola (Nobody can ever have enough of this)
Alesmith Speedway Stout (a lovely beer)
Double Mountain Cluster
Hair of the Dog Fred (see Adam)
Black Raven Splinters (Bourbon barrel aged scotch ale)

Some top notch classics along with some small Pacific Northwest breweries I've never tasted. Thanks ijaap! I'll be bringing some of these to Ommegang tomorrow for Belgium Comes to Cooperstown!

 

I can pretty much guarantee you will not see that Baltic Porter again, it was quite tasty last year and should be better with some age on it! Glad it arrived safely and hope you enjoy drinking that beer!

 

The 50/50 is Rittenhouse Rye, which is my personal favorite. Hope you enjoy everything!

 

Better late than never, here are pics of the rest of the haul from Pimpinmidget.
First, a little something Nesarebad when I handed him his box. He was the one saving me time and money by not having to pack and ship it, yet he gave me beer. Thanks again, Sean.

And here are the last two boxes from Pimpinmidget...




And a group shot of the majority of the haul, some didn't last from when the first box hit until the last on arrived, at one point I found myself trapped in my beer cellar and had to drink my way out.

Thanks again to Roon, Pimpinmidget and Drbenzo.
