Fellowship of the Drink XI: Lunar Landings

[jimyson]

Working from home is a dream. I am the only one in my company in my city and I commute to a WeWorks type thing everyday so I can get something done. Toddlers plus dogs = no ability to work....

Exactly my issue. And I’m on the phone 50% or more in a day. I’ve often though about getting some type of day office, but remember how nice the convenience is at home.

 

[jimyson]

Thank you all. I’m sure he would appreciate it and enjoy knowing people all over the US lifted a beer to him.

It means a lot... thank you.

Sorry for your loss. I’ll be raising a glass in Manny’s honor tonight.

This just keeps getting better. I’ll post it here since most of the folks I’m trading with are in this thread.

3 weeks ago I got hit by a bus in my pickup. The insurance money came through today so I’m taking a half day and heading to the body shop to pick it up. What’s 4 blocks from the body shop? The bottle shop. Did I get a phone call yesterday from the bottle shop telling me they got another special little something in this week? I did. You’re all getting one!

I suppose sometimes these delays work out for the best!

I have toyed with this as well, but then I'd have to put pants on. FOOOOOOOK that!

I love beer. Absolutely love it, but I don’t think there is any beer in the world that would be worth getting hit by a bus. Glad you are ok though, that is some crazy stuff!

 

[Boomer]

I agree. However, walking away from it with no one involved having any injury at all is certainly worth a trip to the bottle shop!

@CTownBrewer the box was just delivered and everything is safe and sound! What an awesome packing job!

I'll get some pics up when I get home tonight!

 

[Redtab78]

When does next round kick off?

 

[Br3w4u]

Looks like mine should be in any minute. Sorry Thorrak but it looks like UPS got held up on yours. It’s still in NJ. I probably could have drove it up to you faster than UPS!

Awesome! Just saw the email that it arrived. Let me know how you like everything.

Also, just remembered to leave feedback for @jimyson. Thanks again!

 

[orionol73]

So much awesomeness!!

 

[TwistedGray]

That Tomahawp or whatever is GOOD

 

[jimyson]

That reminds me to leave extra points for @pshankstar tonight.

I can’t thank you enough for sending out a new glass, and beer since you couldn’t ship a glass alone.

It’s things like this that really show how awesome this group is. And after a quick HAND wash, I’m back in business.

That glass was way too young. I couldn’t leave you hanging.

No doubt my favorite glass. Thank you!!!

Also, the Coffee was excellent! The one was a bit darker than I normally drink but nothings going to hold me back. Do you like your coffee acidic?

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

Package for @bferullo

Looks like it was dropped off around 2. Pretty sure I would have called it a day. Hope it all arrived safe.

Glad to hear!

Yeah the monkey blend I roast darker to get the character it says it has as a darker roast. Usually I don’t go pass first crack or much more for other beans. I’m still learning though on my Fresh Roast SR500. Glad you liked the coffee too.

Finally got a picture to share.

 

[gromitdj]

I finally unpacked my package from @bferullo last night and got it all in the fridge. Thanks for the extra beers and glass! Off to leave positive trader feedback...

Considering I got what I got due to being absentee, I'm more than stoked! Can't go wrong participating in this thread.

That Cherry Stout is special.

 

[Boomer]

@cegan09 Let me know what you think of that BBA blueberry maple cheesecake taco salad green bean casserole imperial stout once you’ve tried it.

I had my eye on that one big time.

 

[imasickboy]

I hope @Br3w4u is thirsty. A little somethin' somethin' landed today.

 

[Boomer]

So my daughter brought a shirt to us this morning that she wanted to wear today. I told my wife, “Hey! This shirt looks almost just like the glass this dude named Lou got in the beer swap I just did!”

It’s like that, now.

 

[orionol73]

That is the BBA version too!

Thats... wow. That's almost too coincidental.

You sure she hasn't been touring NYC breweries lately?

 

[cegan09]

I tried it last night after that recommendation. holy damn it's good.

 

[orionol73]

Every time I open the fridge right now I’m reminded of why I love this trade thread!

Dang! Now I want that dress, too!

For my daughter... I mean, I could try to wear it too, but nobody wants to see that

 

[afro_lou]

WOOOOOO! What a nice box’o’beer to come home to!

Thanks, @Thorrak!!!
