    Does anyone have any input on Bomb! from Prairie? I'm specifically trying to decide which of the bottles (one no wax, current batch; or orange wax, previous batch) I should keep if I'm going to trade one away.

    Anything is helpful, one batch was better than the other, or "fresher is better" (a la WCMH or BCBCS) vs "aged is better" (a la Mephistopheles or Stone IRS) ... I wish I had bought more than one waxed one/a second unwaxed (thank you to @wiingman for the unwaxed one I did get) but either way I think it's worth letting go of one for a Brother Soigne (or is it, if anyone would like to tell me it isn't I might listen)

    So a little business before I post the pron.....my targets box was not delivered today as they stated the recipient was not there/business was closed. They are attempting to deliver tomorrow. Let's keep fingers crossed!


    So came home and wife says, "Another box showed up today. I think it's beer!" You bet your sweet ass it's beer and then some!

    Forest & Main - Manu Negra
    Sweet glass to drink the above
    Flying Fish - Exit 16
    Yuengling - Lager(one of my favs that I don't get enough of). Silly distro laws
    Tired Hands - Hophands
    Another sweet glass to drink the above

    Cheers to my sender. Perhaps one day I can make a dent in your driveway (wish I knew who you were)

    Not sure which is better / worse, as each I have had does not disappoint. I have some extras as I have mules in OK so if you want I can ship you a few extras. Just drop me a line. I have orange wax, no wax, white tape.

    I guess I forgot the note I typed... I was hoping you'd enjoy the Yuengling, not only is it quintessential summer drinkin'
    around these parts, but I saw you had ticked the Porter, Black & Tan and Lord Chesterfield, so I thought I'd give you a chance to complete the set (not counting Light Lager...)

    The Manu Negra is a 900 bottle release of a sour saison, I enjoyed it and I hope you will too! Gotta love #properglassware.

    Lastly, I owe you an apology re: the TH tits. That one is one of mine that has been used a few times (and carefully hand-washed) ... While I was getting the growler I purchased a glass for you but they neglected to put it in the box, so without a chance to get back there I had the choice of skipping it or sending a gently used one, I hope you can forgive me. I also feel like a dumbass for sending HopHands instead of Fourth Level.... in retrospect this is quite a 'duh' but I hope you enjoy it just the same.

    Just a heads up--I'm thinking about a SWTFYW Trivia LIF for our first anniversary.
    A bunch of random trivia questions from the last year, I'd post it up on the 31st and
    let the guessing begin. Most right within 24 hours wins, tiebreaker to the earlier response.
    Who remembers page 117?

    I think I destroyed a clue to another member in there during my exhuming of the goods. I do believe that box came to me from @Houser, to add another layer to the SWTFYW-ception.

    And glad you liked the contents. It was so hard to stay within the rules...
