Now before I post this last pic. I need to explain, that it took every once of strengh in me not to open up every bottle you seen so far and not start Chris Boshing with them once I saw these last two.





Check These out.


2011- GI BCBS- Never had 11 so pumped to try it.
2012- KBS- Pure WIN. Pure WIN. I been dying to try one for over a year, but they are hard to come by.


A big THANK YOU to Calcnerd. I mean that. Thank You.

 

Not Liking- LOVING EVERYTHING. Man you killed it. Super box.

 

Right on! Great box!

 

Young's Double Chocolate is what got me into craft beer. Love that stuff. And that Labyrinth is awesome. Nice job calcnerd!

 

Insane box. Seriously, if Calcnerd is ever in Delco, mi cerveza es su cerveza.

 

Glad everything got there in one piece. I was a little bit nervous b/c of the weight so I packed the crap out of it. Enjoy the brews!

If I manage to get a case of KBS again this year I'll send a 13 your way
I meant to throw in a 12 BCBS to go with it, but didn't have room.

 

Dropped my box off today. Think it was like 600 pounds or something like that

 

And where might this behemoth be heading?

 

To the state that I went to Preschool in before moving to Washington

 

Due to my house remodel taking a day longer than I expected, and I don't trust FedEx over the weekend, I will sending my box out on Monday. It will be going to a state touched by Sandy.

 

About to post the damage. Might want to put some sunglasses on before you look at these pictures or you could be blinded by greatness.

 

They got there early today -- I hadn't even checked the tracking numbers yet since arriving at work!

 

This monster arrived on my doorstop.


Box 1 - Holy shit! I would've already been more than happy with just these!

Dogfish Head Miles Davis Bitches Brew (Want)
Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break (Want)
Pipeworks Coffee Break Abduction (Never heard of this one, but LOVE coffee beers so seems perfect)
Deschutes The Abyss 2012 (WANT!!! I have a 2011 so I'm excited to have this to try it with)
Hoppin' Frog BA Boris (Want)
GI Big John (Huge Want!)

Wait, there's more?

Zombie Dust (want, and a very nice touch might I add)
Great Lakes Blackout (want!)
Plead the Fifth (want)
Bells Java Stout x2 (this one is new to me, but again, love coffee beers)
Deschutes Obsidian Stout x2 (I think I had this listed as a want but for some reason it no longer is. Regardless, its a want)
New Glarus Spotted Cow (I don't know this one but it sounds right up my alley)
Central Waters Satin Solstice (Another one that's new to me. Sounds great!)

And more...

Central Waters Reserve Cherry Stout (want!)
Central Waters Reserve Barleywine (want, starting to wear out the W A N and T keys on my laptop)
Central Waters Reserve Stout (should be a want)
Central Waters Peruvian Morning (WANT)
18th Street Sinister (love double IPAs and this one sounds great + cool label!)
GI Night Stalker (another big ol' want)

Jake absolutely killed this one! 14 wants?! And a fun side note, the Big John (one of my biggest wants) was bottled on my birthday!

 

And lets not forget the awesome Three Floyds glass!

 

The Coffee aduction is susposed to be one the best coffee stouts out there right now. From what i hear.

 

All of these boxes so far have been fantastic.

 

Awesome -- I'm glad everything got there fine and you dig what's in there! You had the Bell's Java Stout and the Obsidian Stout on your wants list earlier in the BIF, and by the time they disappeared from your wants I figured I already had them and they're good stouts, so they went it the boxes.

The Coffee Break Abduction and 18th Street Sinister are two great Chicago beers that I love -- I saw that you were into DIPAs, so I included the Sinister. That's from 18th Street's first ever batch, contract brewed at Spiteful.

These boxes were a lot of fun to put together!

 

I'm going home for a family gathering tomorrow so I'll be enjoying the Sinister with my brother who's also a fan of DIPAs. It sounds great!
