    Are the pics back? I didn't do anything yet, but I'm seeing them now.

    I see the two of the cans and bottles, but not the one of the boxes when they arrived. Wonder if others see them!

    A great week indeed @Yourahoser ! A new bar opened down the street today too and my wife is telling me to hurry up so we can go check it out. Here's a teaser pic until I get back- I'll post the haul later tonight. [​IMG]

    I opened my first one of theses a few nights back. Great beer. I may have added one of these in the box for my target. :slight_smile:

    Nope, just gray Do Not Enters. And I'm no longer at work where a firewall would be an issue.

    Looks like you're using your google account, which BA might not have access to; the reason a hosting site is required is because BA doesn't put the pics on their servers, so they'd have to have access to the source. Try a hosting site like imgur or photobucket.

    That's the ticket.

    You got lit up! Awesome box Scott!

    I'm going to have to get some Trillium in my life to see what the fuss is about.

    Here's the first very generous box from @RuckIt that I was completely amazed by[​IMG]

    Tree house In Perpetuity - IPA--Amazing cannot believe I finally get to try this!
    Night Shift Whirlpool - APA My first from them!
    NBC Gandhi-Bot - DIPA -- The legend is real! Huge Want!
    Tree House Julius - IPA Shared one can with the old label! We loved it!
    Lost Nation Mosaic - IPA -- Love some mosaic hops! Hope it is better than their gose..
    14th Star Brewing Tribute - DIPA New to me, but it's from VT right?!
    Full Sail Captains Daughter - DIPA Drank a can as a road pop last month!

    Thank you so much! We cannot wait to dive into these beers, and share them with our friends. We are driving to Denver tonight, and will post the rest as soon as possible! This was only one of the two boxes the next box is massive!

    Here's my LIF haul- such a great box from @Elkevjoe - thank you!!
    I took the photo on my bed just for you @Yourahoser

    [​IMG]

    Beer list:
    Surly
    - Todd the Axe Man IPA (Huge want- I loved everything Surly when I was in Minneapolis a few years ago. Have been trying to get my hands on more ever since!) I got excited and already drank this one...
    - Coffee Bender (see above. So stoked.)
    Westbrook Gose (this is the best gose I've ever had, I got it visiting my parents once in NY and am excited to have it again! It's also the only beer in this box that I've had, except maybe the Surlys).
    Hoof Hearted
    - South of Eleven Double IPA x2 (I hadn't heard of Hoof Hearted before this BIF. Best brewery name ever.)
    - Musk of the Minotaur IPA x2 (Hilarious. If the beer is half as good as the name and the art I'll be very happy)
    Jackie O's
    - Funky South Paw (this beer sounds awesome. Made with a banana/mango "rock star fruit" and then funked up? Count me in.)
    - Cherry Man (Porter aged in cabernet barrels with cherries added. Cherries are my favorite fruit to put in a beer. Looking forward to this one too!)
    - Rouge Pierre (Sour red ale aged in wine barrels with peaches and nectarines. Sounds great!)
    - Champion Ground (an imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels for 11 months and then mixed with fresh roasted coffee. Beer, bourbon, and coffee. 3 of my favorite things.)
    - Oro Negro (stout brewed with walnuts and conditioned cacao nibs, vanilla beans, oak, habanero, and cinnamon sticks. Wow.)
    The Brew Kettle White Rajah IPA (Sounds right up my alley!)
    Fat Head's Head Hunter IPA (can't wait to try this one too!)
    Great Lakes
    - Blackout Stout (Won gold at the world beer championships!)
    - Barrel-Aged Bourbon Stout (Sounds like a straight-up barrel aged imperial stout, sounds fantastic.)
    Swag:
    Jackie O's snifter (beautiful glass with gold rim. Love it!)
    Hoof Hearted Teku (Best glass I've ever seen. Also my first Teku!)
    Lovingly used Jackie O's coaster (I'll use it tonight!)
    Hoof Hearted and Jackie O's koozies (You can never have too many koozies, no matter what my wife may think.)
    Pleepleus sticker (I'll stick this somewhere at work to keep me company)

    Thanks again @Elkevjoe - this box hit it out of the park!

    I'll be posting a LIF soon, just have to figure out a good contest for you guys...

    The beer selection that you have in the northeast makes me want to live there. But then I realize that it snows. Then I don't feel so bad.

    Are those filled growlers?!?!?! Love Eureka with Citra. The perfect summer beer. Have some Trillium Pier which I hear is better.

    Every last one hah. Both are great for lighter beers, I give a slight nod to eureka with citra being the best of the bunch. The new doubleshot is fantastic as well
