    Dear Target - by now you know who are you. Your box #1 shall arrive to you at some point today box #2 will be arriving tuesday!

    I dont know the specs on box 1 but I was able to hit 9 wants and prob 250 oz with some random local stuff I was enjoying as I boxed you up. I sent out my favorite swag from my favorite local brewery that goes hand in hand w one of their beers i mailed out to you (the swag's my favorite part of the box and I have traded 6 of these to 3 different people - believe it or not they asked me for it)

    Box two - is about 90-100oz with an avg BA rating of 94.33, 100 being the highest and 1 more want to check off your list.

    I sent box two after seeing i underperformed in quantity and thought why the hell not! Hope you enjoy!

    You guys are all rocking it!

    Very impressed with the boxes thus far....

    Now if I could only figure out who I am supposed to be shipping to!!! (Seriously I really dont know at the moment.) My computer got messed up and my docs reverted to an older version so I don't have the right info!!!

    Maybe we can all email you our target, and status of box. That way you could identify the missing target.

    CLaBarre, you are AWESOME! This was my first BIF and I wasn't really sure what to expect going in - I can't WAIT to participate in some more!

    Pics of the haul:

    [​IMG]

    Nebraska Black Betty Reserve Series (This is right up my alley!)
    Upstream Woodford Reserve Barrel Aged Scotch Ale (Can't wait to split this with some friends - we love scotch ales)
    Surly Smoke (never had any Surly before, stoked to try this!)
    Boulevard Saison Brett (Crooked Stave turned me on to delicious saisons so I can't WAIT to try this!)
    Boulevard Coffee Ale (this sounds delicious!)
    Three Floyds Dark Lord 2012 (huge want - finally get to try this one!)
    Brau Brothers Rye Wyne Ale 2011 (I had heard of Brau Brothers before but I have never had anything - sounds awesome!)

    [​IMG]

    Pretty Things Our Finest Regards (This should have been on my wants list!)
    Three Floyds Apocalypse Cow (Always an excellent beer!)
    Madhouse Brewing Templeton Rye Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (never had, but this sounds great)
    Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA (awesome!)

    [​IMG]

    Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Barleywine (this has been on my radar for a while!)
    Deschutes Obsidian Stout (I've never had the pleasure of enjoying this one before)
    Tallgrass Ethos IPA (I had never heard of them before seeing this can, but it's definitely a style want!)
    Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat Oatmeal Cream Stout (my god...this sounds amazing)

    [​IMG]

    JB's Fat Boy Rub (Awesome extra!)
    Confluence Brewing Pint Glass (sweet!)
    New Glarus Moon Man Pale Ale (love pale ales)

    I've only ever had ONE of these before so I am really excited to tear into them - opened up the Pumpkick last night! You nailed some wants and hit up some of my favorite styles with these boxes - thank you so much!

    To my target, I'll be sending out a bonus box next week since I couldn't score any swag to include this week - get ready!

    MORE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Glad you like the box. I think you will really like some of those you haven't heard of like the Ethos. Moon man is great too. Confluence is an iowa up and comer.

    Need some Advice: Does it help if I sit by the window, stare out at the road, and hope that every passing vehicle is the FedEx man?

    Because so far this morning it's not working

    If you drink enough, every passing vehicle might look like the FedEx man :wink:

    Have you tried 515 Brewing Hopititus B? Super tasty. They may still have it on tap tonight. I know I am going back to try to get another before I go!

    It doesn't help, but since you're really not going to get anything else done until that box gets there you might as well keep it up.

    We've never met, but somehow you know me well. Definitely no work getting done until (and let's face it, after) that Box arrives.
