    I believe I received this box today. And if that's *just* box 1....sorry everyone else, I won the Stout BIF lottery.

    Inspired by the incredible shipment I received today, packing up box #2 for @MCain04 ...a svelte 145 ounces of goodness. Box 2 of 3.

    #VBS Thanks Chad. This is delicious, the perfect sweetness from the mango with the kick from the chillies. I don't think you could perfect this if you tried. And the wife likes it and she's just now getting into craft. BTW I just told her I'd be sending some $ when you're ready so she can know about some, and not the rest:wink:

    Did you use the actual fruit or juice?
    Cheers

    Thanks @whyteboy003, in my opinion that's probably about the weakest beer of the lot, so if you enjoyed this, you're in for a lot of treats!

    It's made with real mangos, and habanero peppers, and clocks in around 11%.

    Thought I'd share my experience since it's relevant. Two weeks ago I had a box make it to "on truck for delivery" for fedex, but was flagged for improper shipment and returned to me. I was thankful that I received the box intact with just a big red love note from Fedex, but I eventually did get charged for the shipment. I haven't asked for a refund since I'm not sure if i have a basis.

    The eventual recipient said that he had the same thing happen the week before, so maybe it's the driver. I hope you get your box back safe!

    Thanks! That's comforting to hear. Have you continued to use Fedex?

    #VBS What a great summer beer, prefect for the beach or out by the pool. Nice and light with a great pineapple/coconut nose. I think I prefer the mango but I'm a sucker for peppers.

    @jschott75 I will be unable to receive any boxes from 4/12-15 if you were planning to ship in that window. Cheers!

    @sandman3479 After a long investigation started by a suspicious noise coming from my cellar I have come to the conclusion that the Brewer's Brunch that I sent you might be infected and possibly a bottle bomb. Be careful!

    #VBS (what's the easiest way to add pictures here?)

    Decided to bust into this massive stout box with Short's Brewing Cup a Joe coffee cream stout. Delicious as all hell; I could drink this all day. Went from a surprise, should-have-been-a-want to now a real want list staple going forward. I'm thinking @core42 did me right on this haul.

    I signed up for a photobucket.com account (quick and painless). I also downloaded the app on my phone. I can take a picture with my phone and download it with a couple clicks. I then usually sign online to my photobucket account and copy the link to BA. Usually takes about 45 seconds from time picture is taken at most.

    Oh, FYI, when copying the link from Photobucket use the "IMG" link.

    @gjoker321 , is that the CC Brewpub Brewer's Brunch Stout 750ml bottle? Or the new 16oz growler?

    I have, at least until any more problems occur. I had to resend UPS and I was reminded why you always have an account (annoying questions/comments).
