    Dearest target: I have procured my next-to-last beer for your box. I was hoping I'd be able to find this one and, with a slight amount of digging, I did. I think you'll like it, its another want :slight_smile: I have one more beer that is releasing this weekend and your boxes will be going out on Saturday. There is one bottle in there that is completely random. It isn't local, it doesn't really fit your style, isn't really rated all that well (I mean, its BA score is a 91, so it certainly isn't crap). But some people in my local store randomly found it and found out it was actually distributed to NC and we all thought it was quite good for the style, so in it goes. If you don't like it, tough :slight_smile:

    Final stats:
    Total ounces: 410.8
    Average score: 94%
    Average score weighted by volume: 94.1%
    Average score of the top 144 oz: 97.0%
    Average score of the top 250 oz: 96.4%
    Wants hit: 11
    GABF Medal Winners: 4

    Locals:
    Total ounces: 170.7
    Average score: 92.8%

    "Locals" (my target likely knows what this means, should be fairly apparent when the boxes landed):
    Total ounces: 288.7
    Average score: 93.4%

    Yes, I'm almost as much a stat nerd as @Lehighace06 and @Mikexw...

    But YES!!!!! Holy shit can't wait. Didn't mean to be unappreciative there if it came off that way @_RL_

    I need to figure out how to do that.

    can you send me the tracking #? Your shipment and another have gone missing. I think an employee gave them back to fedex.

    Well, I am a few days late drinking this, but it still tastes damn good tonight while watching this game 6 and the Black Hawks!

    I know you are not going to be home so if it goes to your place I will just swing by and grab it! Maybe I'll bring a bottle to share....

    I was going to say exactly the same thing. Once they get there, you'll get an email and have five days (I believe) to pick them up. If possible, redirect them to a Fedex/Kinkos - those tend to have their storage area air conditioned.

    Sorry for shipping - I had totally forgotten you would be out of town. I'll send you the tracking numbers. Hopefully the beer is good enough to compensate for this snafu.

    No worries, I looked up how to do it, and its quite easy to have them redirected to my regular shipping store. Plus, i won't have any explaining to do to my wife when we get home.

    So just booked a trip to Cali. Gonna spend a long weekend in LA. Hopefully, my Preservation Society beers will be ready. Might be some interesting things available for the winter sixer. :wink:

    @I_BYE_MI_BEER I think I have failed on the treat but I'll have another (smaller) box headed to you come Monday. A product of a road trip to Oregon with a stop in Santa Rosa. Didn't pay much attention to wants but I'm sure you'll be happy (who doesn't want Santa Rosa beers)?

    I know I'm new here, but feel free to drop me a line if you want to grab a drink. I live right near LAX.

    I could do that for you. Gotta head down there to pick up some of my own stuff in a week or two.
