    Giving this a bump - about 18 more hours to guess on this if you haven't yet.

    I just went through all of my records and put together an actual list of everything I've brewed over the years so I have the final count to determine the winner! I need to put together a more formal brew journal rather than just relying on my dated recipe/instruction printouts...

    Wow, was it really? I had that a while ago and do NOT remember it having the feel of anything NEAR that.

    Reminded me a lot of Boulevard Love Child. Really busy but it all came together nicely. I'm a little desensitized to the booziness given I never really drink anything under 8% but I had no idea this was 12% until it was too late lol

    I want to start by thanking @bnelson997 for a truly great box that was well worth the wait.

    DIRTY HIPPIE, JUST OUTSTANDING IPA, AND CLASS V STOUT
    from Kern Brewing Company never heard of them but all three beers are highly rated. Can't wait to try.

    Firestone Walker.... Might be my all time favorite brewery.
    Two BarrelWorks bottles AGRESTIC and KRIEKY BONES both wants. Then an 18TH ANNIVERSARY ALE also a big want + that badass Barrelworks glass. KILLED IT!!!!

    MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING a BB aged stout from Tioga -Sequoia A first for me but sounds outstanding.
    And ALE Syndicate VINTAGE ALE 02 BB aged ales are always welcome, looking forward to this one.

    Modern Times FORTUNATE ISLAND w/ GRAPEFRUIT ZEST sounds amazing.
    The Bruery (bottleworksXII) Big want
    Pizza Port CHRONIC ALE Love me some Pizza Port beers

    You really didn't have to hire a photographer and take a photo shoot "on location"...

    Awesome box! Any more set to land today or are we done?

    Awesome box!
    With this said, awesome man cave!

    Another is set to arrive on Monday, so we're not done, but as far as I know none are landing today.
