    Enjoy, thought I'd throw some beers your way that you probably can't get in NJ.

    box 4 today.
    Confession; i chose the people to send me boxes randomly but when i saw MNBearsfan was from MN, the first thing i thought of was SURLYS. My little guy goes to the U there and on the occasion that i go there, i drink MN beers and I always sneak Surlys in my checked luggage, and my hunch was right

    4 cans of Surlys Over Rated west coast IPA. I think my wife just claimed them all.
    can of Surly Furious - a good standby Surly
    Surly Smoke lager - crazy
    Lift Bridge Silohouette Imperial Stout
    2008 Goose Island Bourbon county stout

    i am heading out to MN in June to drive home with my little guy and a bunch of surlys

    4 x LaCumbre Brewing Elevated IPA - 16oz's of 100 IBU's plus a very cool looking can
    Marble Brewery India Pale Ale
    Odells Lugine - pretty much everything from Odells is good so i am psyched to try this

    My box has landed, and I realized I didn't put anything in it to distinguish is as mine. So a box of mostly California brews landed in NC. The return address is from Sherman Oaks, Ca.

    Ho. Lee. Shit. :grimacing:
    Opened the box sent by FishPondManager and I am absolutely speechless! I couldn't believe what was inside. Alas, the haul:

    [​IMG]

    Avery Odio Equum (my favorite Avery sour so far!)
    Avery Volunt Plus Erat (so stoked to try the new one!)
    Crooked Stave St. Bretta (OMG are you kidding me?!?)
    Crooked Stave Origins (Jesus Christ)
    Crooked Stave Surette (Unbelievable)
    Odell IPA
    Odell St. Lupulin (I've never had a pale ale from Odell, so I'm super excited to try these two)
    Trinity Red Swingline (so looking forward to this one--4.1% IPA brewed with coriander and tangarine zest with Lacto and Brett added, aged on French oak barrels, and if that wasn't enough, then dry-hopped. Yum!)
    Crooked Stave tulip
    Various stickers from the best that CO has to offer

    Adam, I am soooooooooo grateful for this box! I hope that the FedEx label has your correct shipping info, b/c you will be getting something back from me in appreciation for this. I knew that you were a total steal when I chose you as my sender :wink: And I thoroughly enjoyed the note you included in the box and reading up on your day!

    Glad it arrived safely! I was stoked when flexabull sent the target info. Im happy I didn't dissapoint. I noticed you'd rated Odio highly so I had to send one. Red Swingline is stellar. I think you'll really enjoy that one. Your best attempt at a Milton Waddams impersonation must take place at some point after opening the bottle. Cheers!

    a sad day today, i just received a great box from SP23 but i realized this is my last box that i will receive. I have grown accustom to coming home once a week to find a box of great beer waiting for me. it is my plan to spend the summer studying fantasy football, NCAA basketball, fantasy tiddledywinks, so that i can win and continue to receive great boxes of beers from great BA'S.

    oh yeah, SP23 sent me a vertical of Stone Old Guardians 2007-2010. I do like my OG's at around three years old and last weekend i saw the new version on the shelf and i told myself that i should pick some up and age them for a few years but now, no aging, just drinking, Yahoooooo.

    Hope you like it. I was bummed because I was waiting for Parabola to land so I could send both, but there was a delay in my area and I didn't want to be too late on getting your box out.
