    Got home to find a package from HoppyKilaMonster waiting on my porch.

    The haul
    [​IMG]


    Weyerbacher Tulip
    Spring House Big Gruesome (permawant)
    Weyerbacher Riserva (been wanting to try this one again)
    Weyerbacher Sour Black (new one for me)
    Cantillon Saint Gilloise
    Cantillon 100% Bio Lambic (duh Cantillon=good)
    De Cam Oude Geuze (underrated brewery in my eyes)
    Cantillon glass (sweet!)

    Great package. Thanks a lot! Now to hide Cantillon paraphernalia before the girlfriend gets home and claims it for herself.

    Came home today to find a box waiting on my porch.

    Tilquin Gueuze
    Boulevard Love Child #3
    Prairie Gold
    Prairie Somewhere
    JP La Roja
    Rivertown Old Sour Cherry Porter (Gotta admit, It kind of scares me)
    Unknown, but an awesome wax dip job!

    Spicy Buffalo Pretzels were in the bottom of the box, either on purpose or accident, but either way, I'm eating them!

    Pretzels were on purpose although meant to be on top, not bottom. Guess I got the box turned upside down when applying the label. They are like crack, so be careful.

    Blue waxed bottle is my homebrew blueberry lambic.

    My weakness is awesome pretzels, so needless to say, I'm sure they will be gone tonight! As far as the blueberry lambic, I might be BMing you for some tips, I'm actually getting ready to try my hand at lambics as well.

    JMarsh sent me a sour homebrew last time and it was pretty solid.

    ISO: Blueberry Lambic.

    Final Hint: I'm shipping to a state I've previously shipped to.

    Someone should be receiving some swag tomorrow. Beer box will ship late next week. I was waiting for a trade to come in for the final bottle.

    So...my dog starts barking at knocking on the door. I'm like "Damn Solicitors!" I open the door to the FedEx guy, and then think "What did my lady order now!?". He says, "Mr.Trujillo". I got TWO boxes!!!

    And here they are:

    My box has just flown. I was hoping for Viking Metal to be out but it's a no show. I hope the guy in New York doesn't mind Ananke :wink:

    Still have not figured my sender out. Many good boxes thus far. If my box lands after this next week it's going to be some time before I can post the Haul. I will be out of the country drinking nothing but Rum since the water is iffy. Gotta hydrate some how. There will be someone at the address given it just won't be this guy.
