Breweriana BIF Winter/Spring 2014 HINTS, HAULS and CRAZINESS

[gpawned]

I seem to have gotten a sizable box from Bed, Bath, & Beyond. More on this to come.

Your sender just got married. Lots of BBB boxes from registry gifts.

 

[Rifugium]

Massively amazing box from gpawned here. I'm astonished once again by the BIF!
Let's get right down to it:

Glasses from left to right:
- Upland taster (major want)
- Jackie O's '12 "Staff Only" footed tumbler (major want)
- Founders "KBS Week 14" tulip (major want) - Note: this is the event-only glass, not the regular one available online.
- GI BCBS '13 tulip (major want)
- Drie Fonteinen fountain gueuze glass (UBERmajor want) - Seriously tremendous, as the one I at least thought I had seemingly vanished. Super thanks!
- Crooked Stave original bell tulip (major want) - Again, super thanks. I was supposed to get this glass in the past, but a mixed signal resulted in me not getting it, so karma came back in a good way I suppose!
- Blacklist bell tulip (big want)

Beer and swag:

KBS'14 to go along with the glass, and a KBS Week t-shirt for MsRif. How did you know it was her birthday tomorrow, and that this is the exact beer she wanted???

BCBCS '13 to go along with the glass. Always good to have around. Might actually pop this one tomorrow too!

Jackie O's Funky South Paw, which is now easily properable.

And let's not forget that super rad Half Acre tacker, that I've been wanting ever since I've seen it. Looks even better in person.
Thanks to Josh for a great box, albeit a destroyed porch.

I couldn't believe I could hit so many of your major wants considering your most impressive collection. Big thanks to hannydawg for helping me out with a great trade to get you a replacement for your 3F glass and the head's up that you were wanting that half acre tacker.

I love this BIF and look forward to it every round. If no one else wants to run the next one, I'm willing to give it a go.

 

[Steebo]

Wow, very impressive hauls!!!

 

[duceswild]

My box is sitting on a Maryland door step right now.

Excellent box received and pics with be forthcoming.

I had a feeling Gregg has his hands in that one. Thanks to both of you!
Every round I consider retiring, but folks still keep impressing me more and more. I guess it helps that my wants list is still pretty substantial.

I had a different major want for you originally, but he wanted it, so we made a swap for something higher on your list.

 

[Rifugium]

haha That works...though I can't help but wonder what the other glass involved was....

 

[cdmillard]

Awesome box landed. Will post Glassporn shortly!

Dat shirt!!!

 

[jefe731]

I've got a box out for delivery in area that is extremely close to a city that was in the news a lot yesterday.

 

[Corbot_3000]

Dat shirt!!!

I was actually at JP again on Saturday and it was already sold out.

Delivered!

 

[Leeds]

Box was delivered.

 

[tehzachatak]

Just got home at like 11:30 to an amazing, amazing box from jefe73. Seriously, ******* incredible. I will post porn tomorrow, I hope.

Cheers!!!!

 

[tehzachatak]

FYI, I am a huge dick and still haven't sent my box to my target yet (he knows who he is). One box going out tomorrow AM and another on Monday. Hopefully they make up for my general ******* status as a person.

Without further ado - my haul from jefe73. (Sorry for the crap pictures)

The Glasses

Rapp OMG mini snifter (awesome)
Green Bench becher (love the logo)
7venth Sun mini snifter (should have been a want, love it)
Side Project stem (want! awesome)
Funky Buddha snifter (want!)
Wakefield snifter (super want, awesome!)

The Beer

Rapp OMG Batch 9.5 (Never heard of this but on some searching.. sounds like an Entropy/Utopias/etc. similar beer. Still. Sounds absolutely awesome and reviews look like it too. Really, really excited to crack this open)
Funky Buddha Nib Smuggler (want, always love FB!!)
7venth Sun Solitary Confinement (Makers Mark BA Baltic Porter.. sounds phenomenal)

and then the best part of the whole box... weird that it's not a glass or a beer, but...

I ******* love this shirt, so much. Seriously....... So sick. Also off to the side there, there's a Rapp bottle carrier bag, which is great - I somehow don't own any bags like that and really needed one.

Everything together.


Seriously, Jeff, thank you so much - you went totally above and beyond here and I absolutely loved every single thing in the box. Makes it even worse I haven't sent mine out yet. This is why this BIF is the best...

 

[Rifugium]

I still have to get the new Funky Buddha glassware.

 

[jefe731]

Glad you love everything, tehzachatak Had a lot of fun putting it all together. I think you'll enjoy the Rapp OMG...it's amazingly smooth considering the ABV...yes it is Utopias-esque. That mini-snifter will suit a sampling of it just fine.

Cheers!
