    Glad eything got there safe! The growler is actually big gruesome, their penut butter choclate stout. The planet bean wasnt on tap at the time. And i wanted to get you a growler (glass) from there but they use clear glass and im anti clear glass growlers. The brewworks insidious is the bourbon barrel aged insidious. glad you like everything else! and i honestly dont remember throwing in the velvet merlin, its obviously not local to me but i was drinking a few of them that day so maybe i did. Anyway cheers, enjoy the brews! -Bill oh yeah and that iron hill imerial stout is pretty fricking awesome!

    My box was damaged in transit. I received everything that survived, and it was only a pint glass. I'll get another box together and get it out early next week. Sorry for the delay.

    Well, it looks like the box I sent won't get to it's destination until Monday even though I shipped this past Monday. I hope my target finds it to be worth the wait.

    Is it taking so long because box is traveling all the way to the left coast?

    Lovely Town Hall brewing tulip
    Growler of Masala Mama (very excited about this)
    Steel Toe Size 7 (heard great things)
    GI Night Stalker (want)
    Hopslam x2 (always a want)
    Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald (so good-permawant)
    John Henry 3 Lick Spiker Ale (love a good strong ale, excited to try this)
    Surly Furious x2 (want)
    Surly Coffee Bender x2 (want)

    I was actually contemplating putting up an ISO for the last two Surlys yesterday, I've been wanting to try both of those for a long time now. 3hops absolutely killed it with this box. Thank you so much, I'm excited to drink literally everything in this box, and the tulip is gorgeous. I have a feeling I have a new favorite drinking vessel. Ive got some serious Easter drinking to do!

    Glad you like it! The DRIPA is delicious, but I was hesitant the first time I tried it, too -- I mean, who'd make a DIPA with rice? Fortunately, Kuhnhenn makes crazy ideas work :slight_smile:

    Another box is on the way as we speak. To the recipient, let me know when it lands and I can tell you what Duclaw beer the growler is is full of.
