Fellowship of the Drink VIII: The Battle of the Brewers

[JDXX1971]

Yep let Lou bring back some eclipse exposed beer, gonna have special quality's I think, worth waiting for. I am heading out of town soon too so maybe I can grab some more stuff.

 

[SailorJerry]

I'm the new guy so my opinion doesn't matter... but, I'm cool with waiting. Just gotta keep my hands off my offerings, which could be tough!

 

[jschm19]

I'm in no rush whatsoever

 

[PaulR]

Fine by me to wait for Lou, but just wondering if you are going to post the other offers and add his when he submits or wait to post all of them until he submits? Also, will it affect any of the other dates for the actual picking?

 

[TwistedGray]

Post all at once

 

[jimyson]

I will post all at once.

As far as pick date, I got invited to a charity scramble on Saturday. Would you guys mind pulling it in to and evening this week or Sunday afternoon? Sorry, would like to take part in the outing Saturday.

I'm fine with whatever works for you. Worst case, I'll submit a pick list.

 

[jimyson]

Maybe post offers and pick order when Lou gets his stuff in (Mo/Tu) and picks on Thursday at 8:30 eastern. Sound ok?

Can't find the edit button for the OP. I've edited it before though. Hmmm.

I think it disappears after ~1 month or so, if memory serves. Very annoying, but I guess it prevents people from going back and deleting posts with historical relevance.

If anyone is interested in playing fantasy football we are still looking for a few more people. Winner gets beer shipped from the losers. Just post in the following link if you'd like to play. It is PPR format.

[fourfarthing]

I am in too many FF leagues. But I am good with all of the reschedule discussions.

 

[afro_lou]

Hey, thanks everyone! Really appreciate you all waiting on me. [emoji16]
I'll get my offer in tomorrow night? I just got back from Idaho (yep! Eclipse trip!), and I'm right back to work tomorrow, but I'll have it all put together by then for sure.

Thanks again, all! That's why I love this FOTD!

 

[imasickboy]

Lou, you send us beer. That's why we love the FotD! So, thank you!

Your purdy pictures of beer are worth the wait.

Do we need to push picks to Friday night or next Monday? Thoughts from the field?

 

[EcuPirate07]

Do we need to push picks to Friday night or next Monday? Thoughts from the field?

Doesn't matter to me. I'm grabbing the last 3 cans of my offer Saturday. Someone just had to use their imagination on mine until then.

 

[TwistedGray]

It would be great if we could have everything wrapped up by the weekend so that I can make sure that I have enough time to ship. Otherwise, I haven't a clue when I'll be able to ship my offer out due to upcoming trips.

 

[jimyson]

My damn needle stuck on my regulator. I now have a heavily carbonated wet hop pale ale. Still drinkable, just champagne like.

You haven't seen heavily carbonated until you open one of my fruity homebrews, lol. @Thorrak will know soon

We had a bit of a sssssssspray session yesterday *facepalm* ...at least I was outside

Have you tried the ol put the gas onto the out post and purge 3 good times trick? Worked for me when I over carbed my Gose. Instant fix

Nope. Guess it’s on the list to do

To be fair, alcoholic fruit soda sounds delicious. I see where your homebrew is going to be delivered today, but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to taste it until Sunday.

Looking forward to it!

Just checking in @afro_lou

 

[afro_lou]

Offer sent! [emoji28]

Picture to follow, soon

 

[jimyson]

I will be posting the offers tonight. I think it would be best to do the picks Sunday at 2:00 eastern to give everyone time to review offers and submit picks if you so choose. Hopefully that works for everyone. Sorry for the time/day pick changes here. I don't want to force it on people for tomorrow night and chance them missing out on getting their list or picks. And I'll be too drunk Saturday night to manage anything.

 

[TwistedGray]

Cool! I suspect you'll post the pick order immediately after the offers? @Jimyson

 

[jimyson]

Same post.

Is this after the trick. Cause it doesn't look overcarbed

I’ve not done anything yet. This is a slow pour. It’s slightly over if you ask me. My second glass didn’t seem as bad as the first. I’ll be having some tonight to test again.

FYI, I got Lou’s pic in this morning and will be posting once I get through some morning meetings.

 

[jimyson]

Here we go!!

Picks will begin on Sunday at 2:00p eastern

Ah ha! I'll have to get into that over the weekend or next week before I jet off for Chile. There's a raspberry calling my name though, but that'll have to wait until later

Lol, I like how @EcuPirate07's beers are opened (far right). I stared at that picture far too long trying to figure out what's wrong with this pic.
