    Do you think you could label which beer was which as per the requirements? I'm curious as to what's what for everyone in different parts of the country. I think it would be fun if we all did this when our targets post their hauls.

    Edit...Maybe it's obvious which beers are which to everyone else and in that case excuse my idiocy.

    Good Point Guisseppe, I was wondering what catergory each fit into as i was unwrapping my presents.
    Growler and Glass I think i can figure out.
    Honestly have never seen any of these before.

    Just call me a NOOB

    Sure. I had a little trouble with some of these since I, myself, didn't have much to fit into the KBS, BCBSC, etc category. But here is what I packed for each requirement:

    1 Brewery only release --- Cuvee de Tomme
    1 Exclusive beer --- Alesmith Decadence Barelywine
    1 Quick Moving --- Ballast Point Sea Monster Imperial Stout
    1 Locally Distributed --- Golden Road Point the Way IPA 6pack
    1 Regional Gem --- Bootleggers Black Phoenix Chipotle Coffee Stout
    1 Growler --- El Segundo Brewery White Dog WIPA

    Agreed that it should be interesting to see what fits where in the categories.

    Example, here in KC home of Boulevard, the limited boulevard releases last mere seconds. Chocolate ale had literally hundreds of people lined up for. But in other markets I'm told it lasts a little while.

    I can say I don't know much about beer or beer releases on either coasts, so I will be interested to watch these hauls roll in.

    In Orlando we have shit for LOCAL breweries but we have some good stuff within 100 miles or so. Im trying hard to be true to each category, but its pretty hard. I may just have to use the spirit of "local" and and move it to regional that my target cant get.

    I think the "spirit" is the key. If you put the thought and effort, it really doesn't matter if it's ten or 100 miles. I took my family to Disney last year and all the locals raved about some orange whip beer or something like that. Yecch. Now Cigar City.......now we are talkin

    Box will be going out Monday arriving near a big Midwest city. My target lives in one state, but may or may not be representing another state's beers with his box...

    Received a sweet box from Mista on Friday. Here are my guesses at the requirements although some surely fall into the extra category. Overall, a most excellent box from Mista for sure. A sincere thanks from Raleigh, NC. Will post picture soon.

    1 Brewery only release --- Surly Darkness 2011
    1 Exclusive beer --- Founders CBH
    1 Quick Moving --- Deschutes - The Abyss 2011
    1 Locally Distributed --- Surly Coffee Bender and Furious
    1 Regional Gem --- Central Waters BB Stout, BB Barleywine, New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red
    1 Growler --- Town Hall Masala Mama
    Glass - Town Hall

    My bad Mista, I forgot to include the Steel Toe Size 7 in the locally distributed category that I enjoyed last night. Great brew from a solid local brewery.

    Mista, you beat me to it. Keith sent me an email begging for someone who can work this complicated internet machine to post pictures. Nice work on the box!

    Thanks Joel! I guess now would be an appropriate time to point out that Mizzou never won a Big 12 conference championship in any sport.
