Loads of cool stuff to try here – very excited! Thanks Brandon – this is going to be a fun box.
Off to a killer start!
Glad you enjoyed the box. You always hook it up when it’s my month, so I had to do the box right.
Am I crazy? I swear I posted a big response with two hauls.
I keep checking for it. =)
glad it landed safely. Dropped it off the day before surgery, so I was blind to it for aday or two. Hope you enjoy them there beers.
Everything go ok?
Lots of beer landed Friday and Saturday – a good bit in person (helps to have semi-local bros in the bif). Pardon my typing – I’m half a growler into my Sunday.
Box number three arrived Friday morning from Davesway10 – and it did not disappoint!
Clown Shoes Blaecorn Unidragon (not sure if I’ve had it yet – but excited to receive)
Charleville Box of Chocolate (top 10 want – woo!)
2011 Central Waters Kosmyk Charlie Y2K Catastrophe Ale (great beer!)
2011 Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Stout!

Awesome array of treats, old and new! Thanks loads! Sadly I have your month off, but if you ever need anything from Ohio just say the word.
The fourth box was hand-delivered by our fearless leader, urbancaver. He want with quality and vintage over wants (which is my entire beer philosophy) and hit a home run in the process.
Traquair 2020 (style hit – two cellared – allows me to hit one early)
2009 Alaskan Barleywine (YUM VINTAGE!)
2004(?!) Boon Oude Geuze Marriage Parfait (I’m a gueze neophyte, but YUM)

I had no idea what to expect from Cam, but DAMN did he deliver some fun stuff. Not that I expect anything less – he’s a bro.
The first 2/3 of the fifth box was also hand-deliverd, this one by AjsDad06 – the man who is responsible for my first trade and my first Abyss. And while he says he isn’t done, this would make a helluva box on its own.
2x Alchemist Heady Topper (I’ll take every last can I can get)
Hair of the Dog Cherry Adam from the Wood (DAMN!)
Russian River Row 2/Hill 56 (which I never expected to try – SO COOL)
Quaff Brothers What the Wheat? (Cinci/KY love – missed this one – very happy)
Quaff Brothers Brown Chicken Brown Cow (have had and enjoyed much)
PIC: http://flic.kr/p/cUXGk5
As I said, that would be a great box on it’s own. Thank you Brad – your’re one of the people responsible for my entry into the sordid underworld of illicit beer swaps and you delivered some killer fun with the promise of more to come!
Whoo! 4 & 1/2 boxes in and I’m overwhelmed.
If you didn’t notice the email, I’m out of town Thursday and Friday so if anybody else is thinking of shipping this next week, please hold off. I’d prefer to not have beer sitting on/stolen from my porch over multiple days.
Cheers!
Box going out Monday. 🙂 Should be a nice assortment of goodies for ya. Yeah, I know. Another fashionably late month for me. :-p
Box has landed! Full of lovely beers, both old favorites and new treats.
Great Lakes Blackout Stout (annual fave)
Weyerbacher Insanity (annual fave)
Backwoods Bastard (maybe top 10 faves?)
Hoppin Frog BA Naked Evil (much love)
Westbrook IPA (new to me)
Sierra Dogfish Life and Limb (tasty)
Central Waters Peruvian Morning (yum!)
New Glarus Thumbprint Barley Wine (major want!)
Cascade Sang Noir (enormous want!)
A nice mix of awesome beers, familiar and new. Thank you Hayden ~ very excellent box of goodies!
That’s six – in the home stretch, now.
I’m a bad person – I forgot the picture!
I hope you enjoy it. The birthday BIF has been fun for me. So far, I haven’t shopped for one bottle I’ve sent out this year. Every single bottle has come straight from my cellar…which…has taken an enormous beating. LOL It’s a ton of fun, however. I’m enjoying myself immensely, and it’s awesome to be able to provide so many people so many individual enjoyable moments. It’s makes me kinda sad to think that I only have 3 boxes left to ship…and it’ll be over. Can’t believe how quickly the year has gone by. Hopefully I get to participate in this again in the future. This and the Blind BIF are my two favorite BIF’s.
Another box has landed – I’ll get around to posting it tomorrow probably.
I was home Friday on vacation and noticed the UPS guy lurking about in the street so I opened my door and hoped. After he delivered packages to a half dozen of my neighbors (it was package day I guess) he finally fetched a nice big box from the back of the truck and started up my driveway. He tossed and flipped the box to get a happier grip on it. I tried not to scream. Luckily JYounger30 packed the box well and nothing suffered.
Red Brick Wee Heavy
Red Brick Smoked Vanilla Gorilla (exciting want!)
Lost Abbey Red Poppy (love)
Terrapin 10th Anniversary (should be want)
Lost Abbey Serpent’s Stout (love)
New Belgium/Alpine Super IPA
Clown Shoes Chocolate Sombrero (want!)
Clown Shoes Vampire Slayer (want!)
Sweetwater Happy Ending

Ah, I’ve been slack. It’s been a long week with some 20 hour work days so I’ve not been making posting box number 9 a priority even though BStaffor’s box of goodies arrived days ago. I am ze slack.
