    Is that a good or bad version of the expression?

    Not sure if the label I put on the Victory growler stayed on, so in case not, brewed with Citra and Simcoe hops. Best Victory beer I've had(which naturally isn't saying much). But really took me by surprise. Enjoy the beers man!

    Thanks Brandon, this BIf was fun!

    i guess this is a good hint of what might be inside...

    ive almost got the first box complete. im waiting for a six pack to come out so the local favs will have to wait till the next box, this one may be the power house. once this one is shipped it should be atleast 5 days

    as promised when i signed up for this guy i need to start dropping more hints, even though it feels like im talking to myself haha.

    my target is a huge fan of a particular style which is a favorite of mine too, one of the reasons the target was picked. in box one contains 3 beers of this style; 1 barrel aged, one partially barrel aged and a local favorite of mine by and up and coming brewer. a fourth beer contains a bit of this style as well.

    box is scheduled to land on the 21st

    Hey I recognize that box! Was there a 09 temp in there too?

    I think that's a pretty solid representation of me and what I like from around my spot. Glad it made it safe and im happy you like it! I love porters too, tried to put them in their in different forms. Baril is a ba Baltic porter, I freaking love it! Bbxxi is probably my all time favorite porter and it's drinking prime right now. Shallow grave is a fantastic porter that doesn't get enough love (although I've only been drinking it on tap, hope the bottle follows suit) and t25 has a Baltic porter in the mix

    Box 2 will be out soon. It's gonna be mostly local stuff I drink on the reg. Might be a bit before it goes out as I'm pulling 16 hour shifts for the next two weeks.

    Sweet box Kev, good to see some porter love as they get overlooked so often.
