    Well, I got home to a huge box today and I just figured it was from this BIF.

    Wrong it was from the first CIF, I've done. You know Cheese It Forward

    Glad it made it safely! The glass is in the mail, along with a glass that I owe from another BIF who may or may not be in this BIF also.

    The Growler is Dirty Kanza RyePA and below is the description from the brewery. Had it on tap and I thought it was very tasty and quite different

    "This beer is one part Brown Ale, one part Rye, one part IPA and 100% Free State. It honors the Dirty Kanza 200 (an endurance bicycle race through the gravel and dirt roads of the Flint Hills) and its independent and spirited riders. Amarillo and Simcoe hops add zest and citrus overtones to the bready and chocolatey base notes of this balanced ale. Despite its dark tones, the citrusy hop notes and dry finish add up to a thirst quenching beer.
    O.G. - 13.9/1055"

    EDIT: After some research (and finding BHS written on the cap of the growler) I'm going to guess it's the Blackheart Stout from Middle Ages. Sounds delicious to me!
