Pic from 1st box to see the total haul!

 

Just checked with FEDEX someone in near where #23 was king should be getting a box today

 

My box should be out by Monday at the latest. Although I am a bit late in sending, it is because *hint* I had to wait for a beer release festival this weekend to finalize what I wanted to send. So somebody will be getting the freshest of the fresh enamel stripping goodness.

 

Based on where you're from and what's coming out this weekend, could you be talking about a fresh growler of Hop Juice!

 

My box is going out on Monday, It would take me less than 16 hours to drive this box out there myself.

 

My box is on its way minus the glassware for two reasons.
1 i dropped it on the basement floor
2. it wouldnt have fit in the box (it will now, its just a pile)

the glassware will be replaced and sent out next week

 

Glad you liked it Dan! I'm really pissed the glassware didn't make it because it was intact when the shipment was returned. Just not getting any breaks from FedEx in this BIF (pun not intended).

Here is the intent:
Growler: Hardywood hoplar
List: KBS
Brewery: bourbon Cru (though thy just released it to the public after sending)
One week: Parabola
Regional: bitter valentine and Jai alai
Local: chocolate truffle stout

Others were extras based on wants! Hope you enjoy!

 

Ah no worries it happens. What ended up broke in the 1st shipment? I will enjoy had the Saison & Baton last night both were fantastic!!

 

Just a nugget nectar that I was unable to replace. It was daybed 3/20 and drinking fantastic before I sent my last Leo to you as an extra, unfortunately it didn't make it. Bottle works 13 replaced it though! Also got you extra baton as I hear it's a pretty good beer to age.

 

Dear my patient Target,

I will driving about an hour north of me tomorrow to get you a growler from a "New England" brewery and am hoping to find some of that brewery's hoppy gems in a store nearby. One way or another though, I'm shipping out on Monday. Since I shipped to your state before, I think you'll have your box by the weekend.

Regards,
GuisseppeFranco

 

Ah at least it was only 1 bottle lost. I am looking forward to Bottleworks 13 & yeah saw that on the Baton drank one and going to age the other 3. This box was amazing and you were right I have my DFH fix for quite a while!

My targets box should land sometime today!! Cant wait to see the post of the haul!!

 

What if I said that this ba's profession is underpaid, under appreciated, and misunderstood?

 

I have no idea who is sending my way, but my target is scheduled to recover his box Wednesday, maybe Tuesday if he is lucky. The brewery only release was tough cuz most of the ones I have access to are sours an I wanted to appeal to his tastebuds.

 

Wait by your door today you may find out.

 

Good thing for you Death By Hops was just a name...

 

A sweet box landed on my door while I was at my sons soccer game. We just got back from a downtown festival. I will post a picture and list Sunday. A nice variety and I am superpsyched about one evil bottle. Not sure what's in the growler but it will be cracked Sunday while I clean the pool. Thanks Dan (aces full)

 

Growler is Schlafly Reserve Imperial Stout '11 10% might want to have a friend help ya with that one. I wont spoil anything else just wait for your pics.

 

I have only tried two of the beers that you sent me, so that is what is awesome. I am excited about trying these.
