    I'm having a hard time following your updates... When you say 'your place of business' was closed at 7:15 - how does this relate to the box you are sending to your target? Why would you send a box intended for your target to 'your' place of business? Did this box being delivered to your job contain bottles intended for your target?

    I must be missing something. Since people aren't giving hints, I have your drama to focus on...
    Sorry to hear 'bout your shitty luck though...

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    He was saying the FEDEX guy said that he tried to deliver it but the office was closed. thats what he meant by lazy.

    I have had a UPS guy just flat out skip my delivery as I saw him driving down the street. Called UPS they called him and he dropped it off like an hour later. Same guy, just a dumbass.

    When Fedex was trying to return the box to me, it was out for delivery all day, then at 716p the update on the site was "Customer Not Availalbe or Business Closed" which is code for the driver wanted his day to end before he could deliver all the boxes on his truck

    Ahh...I gotcha. Didn't realize the box you were sending to your target was being returned to you. Reading comprehension failure at it's finest.

    So his lazy ass didn't deliver your package, despite you being available, then he became suspicious, and then refused to let you have the contents of your box back? Grade A scumbag.

    I tried but you know google couldn't find a picture of Drew Brees on a bicycle. Obvious hint is obvious.

    We got the rest of our shipment from Martin123012 and shughes67 over the weekend. Two monster boxes bombarded the porch! Here's what we got:

    [​IMG]

    Growler of Kane Brewing Co Head High IPA - New to us, this sounds amazing!
    The Bruery - Sour in the Rye - A want and never had for both of us!
    2x Heady - Always a favorite, can never have enough of this delicious nectar.
    FW Parabola '13 - Can't wait to open this one and do side-by-side with my 2011
    Tired Hands St. Oner IPA - Another new one to us, and another one that sounds incredible.

    Big thanks to Martin and Steve, you guys bombed us with great beer! There's no way we'd be able to drink all this in one sitting and not be comatose after, so we will have to share with some friends and family soon. Great mix of local beers we'd never get to try and well-known favorites.

    How long do you guys think the growlers will be good for, if refrigerated?

    Hint time I guess. Life happened, and I got a late start. Box is sitting at the UPS depot, but the truck has come and gone so it'll be picked up tomorrow.

    Fortunately for our targets, I think it will just be a 2-day trip.

    Just to pepper the angi of our targets, I did some quick math.... 9 holes, with 2 different beers for the BA/Base beer hole, so 10 different beers, Total BA score 950 or avg. of 95 points each. Only one beer was below 93 (89) but the Bro's gave it a 94, so take that for what it's worth.

    If you three putt, you have to chug a BA Stout right?

    Our second attempt at a box will be going out next Monday. I'm taking a beer related trip this weekend and want to share some of the spoils of said trip with our targets
