    Glad you liked the box, and it all arrived safely. The other glass is from a local craft beer bar's 1st anniversary party. It's one of my favorite glasses, so I figured I would send you my double. The barrel select is Mother Barrel. Cheers, and enjoy! And yes, thanks Merc for running this!

    One of the best session beers I've had in a while.

    Retrieved my wayward box from FedEx. In a package that was double boxed, with 6 750s around the outside of the interior box and a 4 12 ozs and a can in the middle, it is now missing a Consecration and a KBS. Nothing else damaged. The only thing I can think of is that the Consecration leaked and the KBS was a service charge for whoever found it. :angry: It was in a padded envelope though so it would have had to be a pretty serious leak. Hint #? - the Consecration was the only sour want I managed to find for my target. :angry::angry: I'll be driving past the store I found it at for work on Monday, so hopefully I can replace it and get this thing re-shipped Tuesday. Finding Consecration on the shelf around here is pretty rare though.

    I hope you like them! Let me know what you think of the JK stuff I don't think you've had any of that (or ticked those off) and the Ananke. :slight_smile:

    I had my package scheduled for pickup Friday - but then thought that letting it sit in fedex's possession for the weekend was probably a bad decision. Pickup re-scheduled to Monday.

    The Beers:
    New Belgium - Lips of Faith La Folie -- Big Want!!!
    Jolly Pumpkin - Maracaibo Especial - My first JP beer!
    Boulevard - Love Child #3 - WANT!
    Olde Hickory - Imperial Stout - Love OH. A friend introduced me to them earlier this year...really anxious to open this one!
    Central Waters - Peruvian Morning - Love this.
    Dieu Cu Ciel - Peche Mortel - Want
    New Glarus - Serendipity - WANT! My GF and i both love this. We actually just finished our last bottle this past weekend.
    Jester King - Boxers Revenge - I've never had any sours from JK!
    Anchorage - Galaxy White IPA - Want
    Mariage Parfait - Geuze - 2009 - Want! I've never had this but I've heard a lot of good things about it.

    Many thanks! There's a ton of new ticks here for me. I've only had the Peruvian Morning and Serendipity. I'm on a drinking "diet" right now (Only drinking on Fridays OR Saturdays)...but I want to crack this La Folie or White IPA really bad.

    Glad everything made it there safely! Hope you enjoy, seekabrew isn't too much help when it comes to PA it seems everything is limited distribution. That OH Stout is ridiculously good.

    I was in Raleigh earlier this year and a friend brought a Lindley Park to share..and sent me home with a EvHo and Seven Devils. I wish OH was much, much closer. Thanks again! We get distribution from a lot of breweries. Some only distribute to Philadelphia, others just distribute some of their regular lineup.
