    After what you sent me from the last one, you aren't someone I was worried about :wink:

    My sender is still hunting down some bottles, so I told him to take as much time as he needed.. I'm in no rush

    My box unfortunately is in route to be returned. I've been in contact with Mps the whole time and he is hella pissed. I'd share what he said about me but it's just too profane and out of control to post on this wholesome, family friendly website. @mps the stuff you said about my mother was really uncalled for.

    I tried to go all Fast and Furious on the Fed Ex truck to get the package but Vin Disel didn't return any of my phone calls.

    Cheers man! Sorry I could only hit two of your wants but hope you enjoy those. BBVD is one of my favorites!

    You'll definitely enjoy BBVD and Dreadnaught, two amazing beers! The two cans are also pretty awesome (and I haven't had the others) ... great box @mps!

    Couple things to highlight here...got another box in the mail this one from @SirPutzly :

    [​IMG]

    There were some causalities in the box (pictures of those have been held back due to the graphic nature of the breakage). Port Brewing Old Vis was a big want of mine, love me some Jai Alai and have never had Flower Power before so looking forward to that. Coffee Bender is one of my favs from Surley as I love all Coffee beers. Looking forward to trying my first offering from Spring House with the Pineapple Pale Ale. Also a big Victory fan and have never had Wild Devil so looking forward to trying this one as well. An awesome Tired Hands glass! Pumped for proper Tired Hands Glassware. Finally Peeper Ale which I love (along with anything hoppy from Maine)

    This may be one of the most satisfying BIFs I'll ever win...the outcome of the NBA finals not only netted me some awesome beer but also likely had a hand in returning the best NBA player back home :slight_smile:

    Cheers all!

    Man I'm around the corner from the brewery and I'm ISO that Wild Devil!

    Also, that's not Ithaca Flower Power, that's CBC Flower Child. Never had the one you've got but I'm sure it's good. I'm sure you'll get flower power at some point though, it's easily accessible in PA and these BIFs have a few of us. (or, I'd be more than happy to #pickitupforyoubro for paypal and a shipping label... I'm cut off from trades though :slight_frown:)

    Sorry man! Realize I mistyped that but I've had Flower Power plenty of times as we get it here. Just used to typing that once I started with the flower!

    This pictures were especially grissley. NSFBA. Two Tired HAnds growlers and a can obliterated. @mps being such a grateous BA was extremely understanding. Btw the Jai Ali wasn't from me. I don't want to take credit for another BAs generosity.

    Could have sworn that was in your box...maybe a gift from Fed Ex for smashing the growlers? I always imagine they have all this beer in their warehouse for the workers from our packages haha

    Haha doesn't bother me (wasn't even my box) ... I just didn't want you to form an impression of the wrong beer.

    Sorry to hear about all the carnage, especially the TH growlers! I'm gonna head over to @SirPutzly's house for a tutorial on packing beer so it doesn't break :wink:

    I double boxed and heavy duty bubble wrapped the holy hell out of the growlers. I guess I forgot to include step 5 of packing beer: Avoid having FedEx drop your package off the roof of their shipping facility.

    Wow that sucks about those growlers! @mps I'm curious as to your feelings and the general consensus of the Cleveland people of the king returning home? if I can recall correctly, u weren't too happy with him a month or so ago.
