    This was the first year I did it...and probably my last. It got very expensive and I think I am going to join the Crooked Stave Society next year.

    Somebody has beer. Hopefully PZALE gives it to the rightful owner:wink:

    My target lives in a state with mulitple professional sports teams they have at least one team in the NHL and/or NBA playoffs.

    I will probably be shipping towards the end of the month. Hoping to pick up 1 or 2 more sours then a few more extras.

    I'm starting to get nervous. Did everything arrive in one piece?

    Finally received this box Tuesday after it sitting at the post office for almost two weeks because someone failed to do their job.

    Thanks to my sender, whoever it may be. Not trying to be ungrateful, but to be honest, I was a bit disappointed about the sours. Fantastic box overall and if I was in the states there would be no disappointment. Besides the Terra Icognito (I can't wait to try this), the other three sours are shelf turds over here. Sorry, but I was looking forward to American sours.

    Sours:
    Hannsens Oude Kriek 750
    Lindemans Cuvee Rene 750
    Terra Incognito 750
    Rodenbach (Original) 330

    On the other hand, the extras were pretty awesome and made up for any disappointment with the sours. I can't get any of these over here and am always looking for more.
    Founders Breakfast Stout - perma want
    Backwoods Bastard - perma want
    DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus - never had, can't wait
    Victory Swing Session - looking forward to trying this
    Weyerbacher Insanity - absolutely love barleywines, awesome!
    21st Amendment Sneak Attack - interesting, never had a saison in a can
    Heady Topper -super perma want, you have no idea, love this stuff

    Thanks for the box. Please don't take it the wrong way, because you definitely put together a great haul. Cheers!

    You're very welcome. I had a hard time tracking down sours that you didn't already have or have access to, so I tried to make up for it with the Huna and Cherry Rye :grinning: It was pretty tough to part with those as they are two of the best stouts I've tasted this year, but after seeing the porch destruction you sent in the BIF I had to pay it forward. I think the beer karma worked well for me considering the bomb I got from Hindsight.
    Enjoy!!

    To my sender, I'll be out of town from 5/24-5/27 and again from 5/31-6/3 Please ensure the package does not arrive during either of those windows.

    Glad you're happy with everything. Unless I missed one, I think the only one you have reviewed is the KBS, which I figured you wouldn't be upset with getting one anyway. And yes its 2013. I hope you enjoy everything.

    So by a twist of fate My Target Now knows who they are. I just recieved a box from him today and holy crap. super pumped. His box along with Trade beers and extras will be dropped off tomorrow. looking like its going to be a long day for the FedEx man, cause this shit is heavy. Thanks for the trade and amazing Box Ufmj. Wanted to thank you publicly so everyone knows what a kick ass trader this guy is.

    I will never complain about more KBS! I've had the FV13, but only on-tap as I missed out on the bottles down here. Very excited.
