Triple Threat - NBS BIF #3

Per tracking, the main body of my assault has struck @newjack's porch. No word on the status of the target or the attacking force.

 

I think opening this up to the whole NBS crew would be real tough. Most of the pictures of the hauls are only posted in the thread and not usually posted on NBS. And I think if they don't follow the thread they really don't get the whole picture of the BIF. I would have to say we leave it to the participants.

 

Agree.

 

Let me start by thanking @woemad for such a generous box.
I have not had a single one of these beers, and can't wait to start cracking them!!

The Cans......


32oz Sour of love...... My love for sour has me thinking this one is for dinner tonight.
Freemont: Bale Breaker x2..... Have had a few offering from Fremont but never this, can't wait to try.
Freemont: Darkstart Oatmeal Stout..... Love me some oatmeal stouts
32oz Motherland...... Not sure what it is but I'm sure glad I have 32 oz's of it to enjoy!



The Bottles:


Iron Goat Brewing Co: The Impaler..... This beer is going to taste great with the matching brewery shirt on!
Wander Brewing: Global Mutt..... Have a strong love for Baltic Porters as it was the first Style home brew that I felt like I nailed.
Wrecking Ball: Imperial Stout..... Yes please!
Laughing Dog: BBA The Dogfather..... BBA Imperial Stout I know how I'm starting off my fantasy baseball draft
Paradise Creek Brewery: Huckleberry Pucker...... Berliner Maybe one of my favorite styles, right when it hits your lips



The Family:


Thank you again for a great box of beers, really looking forward to this one.

Cheers

 

And thanks to all that played a part in setting this BIF up.
It has really been enjoyable and look forward to the remaining ****!

 

Sour of Love is from Ninkasi. Motherland is a RIS from HUB (Hopworks Urban Brewery). I was going to send a crowler of Topcutter, but the keg kicked at the start of the pour, so I went with Motherland instead and threw in the Topcutter from a sixer I grabbed the same day.

Don't forget, as of right now there's 46.68oz of follow-on to come that couldn't fit, and there's no telling what will accompany them.

 

Nice!

 

Carnage Report

Double Stout, Old ale, barrel aged barleywine, RIS, Eng. Brown ale, Farmhouse pale ale, Mexican hot chocolate porter, Am. strong ale and Am. wild ale. Not one repeat of style. So nice.
Plus an awesome snifter. Pleased I am, pleased.

the whole mess with glass

A toast to my sender @cjgiant

 

Glad to see the glass made it. Bought a couple for myself. I'll raise my Otra Vez I just posted in WBAYDN to toast with you. By the way, an assist to @RoninTK3 for the packaging, which was truthfully a BIF, or maybe a PIF (packaging it forward).

I hoped you would appreciate a variety with your extensive list of reviews on here. Can't wait to see your thoughts. I really wanted to send some OTWOA - but I just checked and they still do not have any 6-packs at the brewery. Hope you haven't had the non-locals that I am fairly certain would be new to you. Cheers!

 

If I haven't reviewed it I probably haven't had it. I can get DFH if I go to WI, but typically it's the most common. This way I don't need to hunt it down. Also Firestone is a fav brewery and I can only get it if I am far from here.
I will use the packaging. I've done it before and will do it again. thanks @RoninTK3

 

Lotsa carnage today...me likey.

 

I think most of us have been pretty good at recycling packaging around here. I know I did. That box to @newjack was recently a box to me from @Ri0!

 

Hey, I've seen one of those glasses before!

 

Oddly enough, those glasses are available at TW locally (I got one there), but none of the Chuckanut beers seem to make an appearance. This is deeply annoying.

 

I am now realizing that I overlooked a perfect prank. Think about it, you get home from work tomorrow and there is a nice surprise box on your porch. You are so excited to get inside and tear it open. As you rip into the box, soon your emotion turns from excitement to confusion and then utter disgust...Why the hell would someone send me a bunch of old Coors Light, skunked Corona, and other crappy American Lagers???

You then look at the calendar and realize the date!!!

 

But think of the [real] Beer Karma hit .
