    Package #1 arrived from baconsausage today and HOLY HOPS it's an awesome one! This definitely made the jumping jacks in Palm Beach Tan worth it!

    Wow!! All excellent choices Tucker, we'll have to set up a trade sometime soon because these definitely won't last long in the fridge. THANK YOU!

    Tell me about it. I had to put them back in the box so I wouldn't be tempted to throw them in the fridge and open one before the work day is over.

    So we're hanging out Saturday right? :slight_smile: Man, a cold beer after a softball tournament, what could be better?

    Just kidding - enjoy those beers - you earned them!

    Package #2 arrived yesterday from libbey, just haven't made time to take a pic and post it yet. I'll try to take a pic tonight.

    The specific breweries and beer names are unnecessary. How many of the bottles did you put in your cellar?

    You don't know the answer from the Google doc?!?

    I'm honestly excited about all of these beers. Three of them I've had and love, and one (Hop Lab) I'm really pumped to try. Thank you Matt!

    PS - None of the beers received in TMToBA5 have been added to my cellar yet. :wink:

    The cardboard box for the parabola was in the box if you wanted it.

    Hop Lab is a tasty little number. Enjoy your beers Brees. Cheers.

    Abraxel - while the growler did leak a bit (about 3 inches from cap down was empty), it was drinking just fine last night. No oxidation or major carbonation issues to report. :grinning:

    I'm really sorry about that, but I'm glad to hear most of the beer was still there and in good shape! It's a damn good beer.

    Does anyone have any surefire growler packing tips? I've shipped a growler or two before without issue, and I made sure to really crank the cap on tight, but apparently that wasn't enough :slight_frown:
