    I've been looking for that porter the last few times I've been up to NoVa...to no avail...one day!

    Welcome to the club! BBP comes out twice a year, aged in Virginia Gentlemen barrels (or so I hear) and you'd be the 3rd or 4th person I've given/traded/extra'd a bottle to that has immediately said "I WANT MORE!" Plentiful in Williamsburg (in its season), limited most everywhere else.

    Also, if you think those are good, Cafe Royale (BBA Coffee Stout, sometimes in the barrels used by BBP, sometimes new barrels) and Bitter Valentine (Galaxy Hopped DIPA) from Alewerks are also both phenomenal. I didn't have any, or I would have definitely included them in the BIF box, over most of the Hardywood beers.

    I am so happy you opened it soon, and that you loved it. If you want more, we can easily work out a trade I am sure.

    I can only hope the box which (hopefully) makes it to CLaBarre is in this good of shape.

    Glad it made it ok. Might want to have your wife open the square one and get a certain fake sue in the fridge. Though if you're concerned about her seeing a large number of beers, you may also want to wait...

    Thanks for the advice, but I think that might be pushing it, having her dig through your packing job. It was on the road for a few days, it can last another 24 hours! I hope...

    As for her seeing a huge amount of beers, I can't wait! :grinning:

    And last but not least, the Barley Wines. And if you know me, I love Barley Wines. Excited to try all of these for the first time. Especially Mirror Mirror!

    Now that RayOhioFelton received his box, I'm pretty sure I can do away with hints, but where's the fun in that?

    The losing record I previously mentioned was regarding the 2013 season. One of those teams has a pretty intense rivalry with one of my state's teams.

    What times of year does it come out? Because I'm definitely taking you up on that. It's really a phenomenal beer. I'd love to have a couple more bottles of it.

    Uh, BBP just came out. I think it has a summer release, and a winter release. It usually comes out whenever it is ready. I can bury you in BBP though, when it comes out. It may still be in a shop near me, I can check. Typically $9 a bottle. Hit me up on BM if you want and I'll check around!

    Started with the Weyerbacher Insanity, and was not disappointed.

    Black Butte Porter (oh how nice it will be to try the cleaner less slutty Butte)
    CCB Marshal Zhukov's (love it, so pumped to see this come out the box!)

    I can not get any of these beers in Ohio, only had 4 of them and two of those were different batches. Thanks for some new experiences.

    Packing for Vegas in the morning.

    Got a twelve bottle shipper now, think it is safe to check on Southwest and bring home bottles in or should I just wrap um and bag um?
