Eclipse Release Party

[stupac2]

Could be that I read too much into your saying, "Ow, you hit me hard!" before lurching off.

Best part was that someone leaned in and said, "I've wanted to do that for a long time." Don't know who he was though.

Wanted to punch me? Hmm, that's odd.

 

[stakem1]

Also mad props to stakem for already coming through on the goods for his bottles, headed out Monday.

I dont think so chief, you still got goods coming...

Apparently this is the only photo from the evening?

Also, at various points in the evening I introduced the guy on the left as Thor. "THOR WANT BEER! GET THOR BEER!"

EDIT: I'm 6' 190# and I'm the runt. Christ.

Well now this looks like a great time. I always judge events by the length I sleeves, this one must of been good

I honestly don't know who "Thor" is.

He's the Norse god of thunder. Played by Chris Hemsworth in the recent movies.

Well played, sir.

 

[xnicknj]

Any ideas on which variants were brewery only and which will be distributed? Trying to decide if I want to do the financial equivalent of punching myself in the face and buy a couple of these in Philly again.

Rum, and PVW are brewery-only but available for anyone to purchase. Vanilla was party-only. I believe everything else is being distributed.

What? Don't you even Adventures in Babysitting? At least give a good reference.

Holy **** that is a big man. I want him on my team, regardless of the sport or challenge at hand.

Not near enough neckbeard in that shot though. I am disappoint.

That guy is blarge. I feel like we are similar in stature...tell him to make an account here so we can sext each other via wall-posts.

You're giving Arbitrator way too much credit here. That Thor dude isn't actually that big. Arbitrator's entourage are short and skinny and scrawny as ****

EDIT: I'm 6' 190#

You ******* liar

You ******* liar

All right guys... I lied a little bit.

The big guy on the left in my photo is eikhcsel. That's why he's calling me out. I deserved it.

Hell, we even had groupies:

You can practically hear the "SHRIEEEEEEK!" coming out of his mouth.

How's the Pappy variant?

 

[stupac2]

How's the Pappy variant?

They (stupidly, IMO) didn't put it on tap until 2 hours in, so I'm not confident that I have a good handle on it. However, from that taste I was disappointed. It seemed a bit bitter for me, like it needs some time to mellow out.

I'll probably open one sometime soon so we'll see if it's different out of the bottle and on a fresh palate.

 

[rcubed1]

We opened PVW and Rum yesterday at a bottle share. Unfortunately not with a fresh palate but I liked the PVW version. Rum was good but as good as I hoped. Hopefully I'll be trying them again with a fresh palate on Wednesday.

Going through a bunch of the GoPro video I took, most of it is useless, but actually a few funny clips, ******* Metalheads, I'll just say one of you likes to lift up your shirt in the middle of the party and play with your nipples. I'll try and post some stills soon.

We had beers shipped up for the party and was going to pack Pappy in the empty shipper on our flight to return home. When the box came down the luggage chute, it was leaking all over everybody's ****. I grabbed it quickly and rushed it outside baggage claim as it's leaking all over me. Final score, lost 1 Pappy in transit, ******* Southwest bagsmashers. All-in-all, we had a great time, met a lot of cool people, can't believe it's already come and gone. Looking forward to next year.

If that's how you packed it, then it's not really Southwest's fault. That's a horrible packing job for anything going on a flight. Where's the bubble wrap?

It's easy to point that out, but I put those other btls back in the box to take this pic. We had to discard the packing materials at the airport so it wouldn't keep leaking all over my trunk. My packjob was not the problem, I'm no novice. It looked like it was dropped from about 20 feet up directly on the corner, something I prepare for. But the box also had one of those TSA-inspected papers in it. I guarantee these ***** pulled stuff out and then just shoved the blts back in there. My apologies if I offended any bagsmashers out there.

TSA inspection = your bottles are ******. I am sure one of us would have shipped it back for you if you had asked. Perhaps that's something to consider next time. Sorry mang.

I've had okay luck shipping back beer in luggage, but you definitely gotta make it foolproof. These days I just check in styro-shippers, which are largely idiotproof.

 

[beerandraiderfan]

Hell, we even had groupies:

I kept having images of the dude on the left spearing someone through a table at the party. Too much likeness to Roman Reigns in pro rasslin'. Didn't wanna have to get all Dean Malenko on him. Whoops, showing my age, I mean, hey kids,
didn't wanna have to get all Daniel Bryan on him.

It seemed a bit bitter for me

That was my exact first impression: why is this more bitter than the others?

Glad to know it wasn't just me.

I appreciate that, should've taken better precautions w/ $500 worth of Pappy. Live and learn.

This box was actually from Leuken's Liquor (www.spiritedshipper.com), but for my trades, I use styro shippers. I underestimated the carelessness airlines use. I'm not pissed, just bummed that I didn't just have Eclipse take care of it. Btw, it was the best smelling baggage claim I've ever been in.

You're crazy. That dude on the left doesn't even lift. Would love to hear eikhcsel cast aspersions on that guy's saggy man-******* and non-existent manhood.

Maybe a little sick/drunk at the time, but prolly not crazy!

You guys and your lifting/'show' muscles. . . you ever notice how much easier it is to sink an arm or knee bar submission the bigger the appendage?

Of course I also notice how much more it hurts getting punched in the face the bigger the arms too . . . but YMMV.

 

[justXbeer]

Question...we're all the pvw bottles signed or only a few peeps got those?

 

[Usofar]

All of mine are signed.
