    Have the individuals who have not yet shipped been identified? Are any of them repeat offenders? If so maybe they are left off of next month, if we get to a May round.

    Found a package on the front porch yesterday - although I'm not sure who sent it.

    Growler of Brooklyn Mary's Maple Porter
    12 oz Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold
    12 oz Captain Lawrence Captain's Kolsch
    12 oz Sixpoint Sweet Action
    12 oz Keegan Ales Hurricane Kitty
    1 Captain Lawrence pint glass

    Very excited to dig in and see what's what. I was actually just thinking the other day that I need to start trying more porters. Thanks to whomever for the much appreciated box!

    This was mines. Curious to hear how the Brooklyn Maple is, I drool over every special release they have, just had the Companion last week and loved it on draft. I had been trying to get a Galaxy Pale ale from New England Brewing, but Brooklyn usually does well with their Brewmaster series and this was the first I had seen it in public.

    OK, it is about 2 weeks after the deadline. Am I ever going to get beer?

    Got my box this past Saturday from awalk1227 (Athens GA). Included were two mini growlers - Gangway IPA from Red Hare Brewing and an intersting sounding Quad from Wild Heaven called "Eschaton" that was aged on Pinot Noir oak chips. Also in the box was a cool Wild Heaven goblet, a nice addition to my glassware collection! Thanks.

    Glad to see that you received your package. Now if I get mine in the near future this thing can be done with until the weather cools down.

    How many people are still waiting for a package to arrive. The first growler landed at it's new home on March 27th which was 45 days ago, and I still haven't received anything. I know that things come up, but why can't the person who's having problems shipping just send a message explaining why he can't ship out.

    This is really pissing me off!!!!

    If I've counted right, it's you and me and two others, including our leader. I'm less concerned about my box (I trust it'll get here eventually) and more irritated that the unusual number of late boxes this round seems to have canceled the May round and killed enthusiasm for this BIF.

    Gman/Guy, can we get an update on the stragglers (by name if necessary to help move them along) and a status on a next round, if any? I had bought a couple new growlers recently in anticipation of a May round but I have a feeling I'll just be drinking them this weekend.

    Are you going to the Berliner Bash next weekend? If so we might be able to hook up and share a couple of growler's on either Friday night or Saturday. Hit me up if interested.

    I definitely am planning on being there. Hit me up if you're coming down the night before and we'll get something together.

    ...aaaaaand on a somewhat related note -- woke up this morning and saw a box on my doorstep. Happy to report that it contained my April GIF box from dashirey. Contents:
    • 64oz growler of St. Boniface Libation DIPA
    • 64oz growler of St. Boniface 3 lb IPA
    • St. Boniface pint glass
    TWO growlers -- way to make up for the lost time, dude! Thanks Dain, can't wait to crack these open tonight! Looks like I'll even be able to add another new beer, since 3lb isn't listed yet.

    I also came home to a box of beers from Shane, no BA handle found. The box contained:

    32oz. Johansson's Porter
    32oz. Oliver's My Monkey's Gone to Heaven BB Barley Wine
    22oz. DuClaw's Soul Jack
    22oz. Stillwater Folklore
    Oliver's Pint Glass

    Really excited to finally receive my package for the April Growler at the Moon. I will be drinking the Johansson's Porter tonight.

    Thanks Shane for the great package.

    I'm so sorry for the lateness! I was hoping the second growler made up for it. Enjoy!

    I received my box as well. Killer box I must say. Post haul later. We are done for now and will start back up in September. Smaller group for sure. This last round was painful!

    Any chance we're going to get this one rolling again?

    Is it being run behind the scenes?Who's running it? I really enjoyed this one and have been patiently waiting for this to get rolling again.
