Waiting for more unboxing pics...

 

Can someone remind me how to post a pic?

 

Actually it was probably the aftershock of your high pitched scream and subsequent tumble (with an epic beer save though).

 

Put picture on photobucket or imgur, click on the picture icon in the reply box on BA and copy the link. Hopefully it should work.

 

OK, that was a really scary spider!!! It had all of its beedy little eys focused on me, I could tell it had a personal vendeta against me!!

 

Received a box at work today from kjyost, can't wait to get home to open it!

 

Just checked my tracking and was going to post about a birdie landing! Good stuff. I hope you enjoy a 100% Manitoba made box No Farmery beer for you!

 

Wow, what a haul All new beers to me, including a couple of longtime wants. Love me some home brew, what exactly are they? All in all I'm super excited to receive a very generous box!

Will post a pic later!

 

K let's see if this works...




Almost all new beers and nice swag too. Thanks Taylor.

 

The dark Grolsch is a 15% oak aged RIS. The clear Innis & Gunn is a Sour brown. The other one is a Samson bottle conditioned with Brett. Glad you appreciate it.

 

I came home to find a big ass box outside my door from Phyl21ca, cheers Philippe!!!!
The wife has our camera at her work to take photos of her floral arrangements for her portfolio so I'll try to convince her to bring it back so in the mean time....
-North Coast Old Stock Ale (want) from 2003?!?!?!?! holy crap!!!
-Mikkeller George Calvados Barrel Aged!!!, very excited for this one, I carried 2 bottles and 2 beer glasses of regular George for 4 days of trekking through the Andes to drink with a buddy at the Sun Gate above Machu Picchu a couple years back. One of the more memorable beers I've ever had, seeing this just opened a flood gate of awesome memories.
