    Much thanks to a great haul from Brooklynbrews! However, I think you forgot to include the bottle of Kate the Great! haha... Just kidding.
    So I received
    1 64oz growler of Troegs Perpetual IPA (which I am destroying on National IPA Day!)
    1 64oz growler of Carton Boat (when I first read the label I thought it said Cartoon Boat!)
    I have not tried or heard of them so I am definitely looking forward to drinking this one
    1 bomber Founders Frangelic Mountain Brown (I love anything from Founders)
    1 bomber Portsmouth Dirty Blonde Ale
    1 Portsmouth Brewing Sticker
    1 Allagash Brewing Sticker
    1 awesome Portsmouth Brewing shirt which I am debuting tonight at the bar for National IPA day!
    Thanks again Brooklynbrews. You knocked this one out of the park!

    Ouch two leakers! And no extras just in case (not required). That is a tough box, but damn this hot weather.

    Lobo needs some love before next weekend!

    Looks like the pizza boy dropped the delivery!

    I don't know what happened here (and don't mean to offend anyone), but I hope something can be done to make this right.

    Sorry I wasn't trying to direct it at anyone specific. I meant it as a compliment to everyone from Minnesota in this BIF, it looked like you guys really sent out some great boxes- definitely gives the state a great rep.

    Box arrived safe and sound today. However my shipper is from New York and one growler is from Ohio and the other from Kansas City so I actually have no clue what is in the growlers.

    First, I was unaware that some states have laws regarding the re-use of other companies growlers, NY doesnt.
    Secondly, I have sent the info re: the specific beers in said growlers
    Beer #1 is Middle Ages Anniversary double Swallow Wit (a double Belgian Wit made with british yeasts that runs a sneaky 9%)
    Beer #2 Middle Ages Wailing Wench ( a full bodied hoppy strong Ale @ 8%)

    Oh no, I wasnt worked up. I was just "splainin" in a little more detail for you as well as others the two beers. And as far as the growler thing, I was just putting that out there. I wasnt offended in the least. This is beer man.
