YMBBIF Hints and Hauls Thread

*LIKE*

on the plus side this change should help my post count go through the roof!

 

Actually, posts in LIF/BIF forum don't count towards post count... womp womp

 

Looks like I'll have to get out of here by 5 tonight so I can make it ot the leasing office before it closes. At least this time I recognize the name of the person who signed for it!

 

Ha, fmylife.com

 

Do memes count in posts that don't count?

 

One of the managers walked by just as I was about to start closing up shop... damn.

 

Better hope nobody sees the lonely box on your porch and decides to open it and start drinking!

 

Three boxes just arrived at my office, luckily we don't have a porch. I'll be opening them once I get home, which hopefully will be earlier rather than later. Can't wait!

 

Excellent. Hopefully you guys have a two-wheeler or something in your office to get those bad boys to your car.

 

I'll be sure to take a pic of them on the cart with the other boxes I have. Wife went on an Amazon shopping spree this weekend so boxes are showing up like crazy.

 

And my coworkers made fun of me for getting one lousy box from Belgium.

Man my post count must've halved when they implemented that.

 

I've only had 5 coworkers email or tell me that there are boxes waiting for me up front.

 

I am officially schwartzoid's bitch!

12-bottle stryo shipper (Perma-Want)

Amazing box, Steve! Thanks so much! My buttocks will be tender for weeks, if not months!

 

I lol'd.

 

Box #2 got delayed. My plasma tv blew a fuse and it's turned into a three day project

 

You're very welcome, enjoy every last sip!

Let me know when you are able to walk normally again as there's still another piece of schwag and a few more bottles taking shape to remind you who's boss.

P.S. It was a 2013 Peche and probably 2013 Bretta as well.

 

Yes sir, thank you sir, may I have another sir?!!?

Looking forward to it! Cheers!

P.S. I couldn't wait and threw the Peche 'n' Brett in the fridge for tonight...

 

Shit, you're just asking for trouble, boy! Make sure you open it over a tupperware bowl cause you gonna lose half of the contents in the bottle, especially with it arriving only today. (Don't you remember what happened over Christmas when we had that during the blind sour tasting?)

Great haul Stevie Wonder.

 

Oooh, good call....... but it should be ok if I let it get super cold, no? Now you got me ponderin'...

 

I must start by saying, I'm going to be sore for weeks after being made Brian's (Auror's) bitch today.

So here's me leaving work with the three boxes plus bonus boxes from the wife's Amazon shopping spree over the weekend:



It took me about 20 minutes to unwrap everything and it was like the being a kid in a candy beer store! My apologies for all the caps, but I'm still floored by the sheer awesomeness of this haul. Also, apologies for the slightly out of focus pics.

First there is the awesome Hill Farmstead t-shirt accompanied by the growlers of HF Everett (WANT) and Night Shift Art #4 which appears to be a sour (should be WANT).



The glassware - Portsmouth Kate the Great 20th Anniv. tulip and Trillium Brewing Co tulip (both awesome!)




On to the main course.

The big boys:
HF/Blaugies La Vermontoise (WANT)
HF Biere de Norma (SUPER WANT)

HF Florence (WANT)



The midsized boys:

Allagash Coolship Red (SUPER WANT)
HF Birth of Tragedy (WANT)
GI BCBCS '11 (perma-WANT - and fills out my vertical!)
GI BCBS Cherry Rye (perma-WANT)
Jack's Abby BA Framinghammer (should be WANT)

The little buddies:

Lawson's Maple Barrel Aged Fayston (SUPER WANT)

So many beers I haven't tried and can't wait to open and share with friends! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much Brian for the amazing beer and schwag! I can assure you that there will come a time when payback will be levied and payback is a bitch.

But for now, I'll be content to be your bitch for as long as this lasts
