Eli pays his debts
So we won a little beer blogger fantasy football league last year. No big deal [subtext: BIG DEAL]. As winners, we were promised a local 6-pack of microbrew. Most of the participants [subtext: LOSERS] paid their dues promptly. Some of them, including Eli “The Delinquent Beer Man” Shayotovich, did not. Eli blogs over at Confessions of a Beer Geek and is also half of Beer Tap TV.
So imagine my surprise when I received this in the mail last week:
Whoa, did Eli come through or WHAT?! It was almost worth the wait. Here’s what was in the box:
- Modus Hoperandi from Ska Brewing
- Steel Toe Milk Stout from Ska Brewing
- Pliny the Elder from Russian River
- Blind Pig from Russian River
Eli, we can now safely say that we look forward to playing with you [subtext: CRUSHING YOU] again next year. Thanks for the beer, we haven’t been able to try any of this stuff yet!
Hahaha! Right on guys… hope you enjoy! Let me know what ya’ll think of the brews once you’ve tried them. ;)
Wow, not only did he pay, but he paid IN STYLE!
Pliny & Blind Pig? Count me in for next year’s competition :-)
I haven’t had Modus Operandi though, so you guys will have to do a review on that…
Brad, unfortunately to be considered one must blog more than once every year. Sorry.
Pliny is always worth the wait. Truly a magnificent beer…enjoy
Jonathan…
Yeah, it would probably help if I brewed more frequently too.
But I blog PLENTY — just not at my personal blog. And not about beer…
Not that this is helping my argument any, but I certainly haven’t stopped blogging :-)
Brad, this is what I hear you saying: “BLAH BLAH BLAH NOT ABOUT BEER”
