HHNNNNGGGGG I love Lightspeed. GPIUFMB anyone? :)
 
Secret Santa hauls are coming, get ready!

Can't say enough good things about Don here. The man worked tirelessly to make sure this beer got to me in a liquid state. Such a phenomenal box all around and I am so appreciative! As soon as it warms up, I'm going to repay him for having to get stuck shipping to my cold ass state.

Hill Farmstead - Birth of Tragedy
Hill Farmstead - Leaves of Grass
Trillium A Street
Trillium Sleeper Street
Trillium Mettle
Trillium Dialed In
Trillium Publick House
Foam Brewers Ghost
Deciduous Predestination
Hill Farmstead Flora - Peaches/Pears

Don really read my letter it seems. I asked for Fresh IPAs and Saisons that I could take with me to Belgium to share with folks over there at a tasting after Christmas, and every one of these except for the Publick House is getting packed up and taken over with me! Thanks so much man!
 
Me and Sideswipe have a thing. I send him average stuff and he blows me up every time. It seems like a good relationship to me.

He sent cans and a bottle

Then we got a box

Such glorious cookies. Layer after layer of cookie and candy

Wife had a cookie, I had 3 and 7 of the white chocolate things.

Good god Mrs Sideswipe nailed it. Please thank her. She may not have sent enough.

Twinning with Marksy on the awesome bottle opener. I love this ******* thing already.

Oh but Sideswipe was not done, nope he was not

I am excited about the Mead, but have you seen the ******* glass? ******* hell John you are so damn generous. No wonder I love you so much.

SS BIF is the best

Holy ******* ****. SpentBrain absolutely annhilated me. You just absolutely crushed me. I'm speechless.

The before shot

SWAG

Casey shirt. Casey tulip. Honey BBQ popcorn, 1807 Hot Sauce and because he has an awesome awesome awesome sense of humor a ******* pickle ornament. That **** is going to be on my tree for the rest of my life I **** you not. I've always been big on ornaments and my wife and I are now starting our lives together and this is a new tradition. She will flip when she sees it.

The full Monty

Funk Factory Door Kriek and Trade Ship (Blood Orange). Blood Orange is PERFECT. Anyone who knows me knows my deep unabiding love for Brother Soigne and this is 100X better. I lost my **** at the FF beers I got last year. Can't wait to get involved in these two.

Casey Cherry Cut and Peach Family Preserves. Are you ******* serious??????? Just these two bottles alone and I would still be rock hard. Speechless

So now let's add DeGarde Saison Melange No 4 and Anian. ANIAN?!?!?!? For real?!? Add to the fact that DG's saisons are out of ******* control. SpentBrain i am in your debt sir. You have humbled me. I am so so so stoked for this box. Thank you thank you thank you
 
Reposting Secret Santa haul pics for maximum likes. Also maximum credit to MooltiPass who put together an excellent box! Thanks again (again)!

Hill Farmstead - Arthur - I received a bottle of this from mrpeterandthepuffers last year and really really wanted to revisit it. Much excite to be able to do that soon.

Hill Farmstead - Twilight of the Idols - This beer was not on my radar but I'm happy as hell now that I get to try it.

Hill Farmstead - Birth of Tragedy - This looks like a perfect winter warmer. I see that this is related to the beer above so I'll be sharing these both with a friend hopefully soon.

I traveled to New Hampshire (longest car ride ever...) for a wedding in 2015 and had really wanted to stop by Hill Farmstead. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time so these are truely perfect and will be enjoyed fully.

But wait! There's more!

OEC - Albus Singularis! - Hnnngh! I love you. Propering soon.

Two Roads - Framboise Noir - I have had the pleasure of trying a few beers from this brewery and really can't wait to try this one.

NEBCO - Comb Over - Don't think I've had anything from these guys before so I'm excited try this soon.

NEBCO - Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout - This will not make it through the day.

And for the swag! Again, he hit it out of the park.

Nightshift stem and taster!
OEC stem and taster!

Yessss! I have been sitting on a few bottles from both of these brewers until I had proper glassware. These will all be coming in handy soon.

Merry Christmas!
 
Some nice boxes of beer and glassware showed up this week. Some old-ish De Garde bottles including The Lily b1, which I'm really excited to revisit a couple of years after drinking my one bottle:

The Lucy is so good. Wish someone, degardebrewing , would release it again.
 
I won a LIF from nanobrew for guessing a few football scores. He shipped a box of homebrew and a bunch of cans in early November that was presumed lost but showed up yesterday!

Since it was presumed lost or destroyed, he sent a replacement box that arrived today!
15419708_10206609625433066_1849348374087191362_o.jpg

Bottles are Raspberry, Peach, Cream Kola, Hop Pop, and Honey Ginger Lime! My fridge is full! Thanks again!

Also, incase i didn't mention before, the raspberry and peach are not sodas they are sours. So don't give to kids. Or do.
