    Good evening everyone-

    First off, a couple of things. The Pron is in no particular order, so I hope I get it right for who sent what. I don't think I'll get all the pRon tonight, so it may take another day or two, or three (I'm assuming there will be no more boxes and I've yet to open the box from the Lone Star state).

    I really want to thank everyone for the generous and rather overwhelming welcoming into the *family*. Since I hate to smile and don't like to take pictures, my daughter Bella's facial expression below was how I felt opening up all the boxes.

    this box came from @valrxman

    CCB- Café Americano (right in my wheel house)
    Mikkeller- Mexas Ranger (spices, almond milk, cocoa, chile, black beans, avocado leaves)...sounds good and I like Mikkeller
    High Water Brewing- Campfire stout...did someone say smores...oh yeah!!
    FBB- Blueberry Cobbler ale (x2)...cracked one tonight...me likey
    FBB- Sweet Potato Casserole (I'm a meat & potato guy, so this has to be good)
    DuClaw- Sweet Baby Jesus..who doesn't like chocolate & peanut butter in their beer
    3Floyd's- Zombie dust...cant go wrong here
    Hot chocolate to keep the family warm during the winter here in WI....awesome!!!
    wait...peanut butter Pop Tarts....hell yeah!
    and a couple of books for Bella (she grabbed them right away and loves them!!)

    I've been lucky to trade with Steve before this (generous) box, and he's as good as they come!! Thanks for putting a smile on my face and Bella's.

    edit: the snifter was in the box as well :slight_smile: (I love glassware)



    Cheers to you my friend!!!

    Continued.....

    This one is really good. Has some real Belgian qualities, reminds me a lot of 3F Oude Kriek. I haven't had a Barrelworks beer that wasn't way above average.

    Thank you @campa86!

    Impromptu LIF for serious Citra lovers. Guess how many miles I have flown so far this year. Closest guess wins, no PIR rules. The winner will have a growler heading his or her way...

    Finally home from Texas and had 2 LIF win boxes waiting for me. I got one opened up tonight & will get to the other tomorrow.
    First up is a box from @Kylo76
    [​IMG]
    At first I thought this was my turkey sixer box but realized they weren't wrapped.
    Beatitude - Been wanting to try a Beatitude & I love me some mango
    Citrus Gose - Been wanting to try Toolbox too, Kyle is in my head :grimacing:
    Joey Pepper - Very interested to see what this tastes like
    Fred from the Wood? - Seriously? Want
    Fruitlands - Want
    Agrestic - Want

    Wants all the way around! Thanks, Kyle

    This box came from one of the Jonas Bros.:wink: @jawas (Rob) ...unfortunately, since I'm ignorant and don't know everyone's user name on BA to their real name (yet)...I'm hoping Rob will learn me straight and announce his presence, so I can thank him for his generosity!. (fixed after the fact :slight_smile: )


    [​IMG]

    Wicked cool glass! and some yummy coconut brittle (what's left anyways)...ISO more please
    Allentown Brew Works- BB Insiduous Imperial Stout...cracked open tonight and was a tasty treat (new tick)
    Cape May Brewing- Coastal Evacuation (double IPA)
    Carton Brewing- Boat Session Ale (x2)
    Carton Brewing- 077XX east coast double IPA
    Narragansett Brewing- Allie's Donuts double chocolate porter (I LOVE DOUGHNUTS)
    FW- Velvet Merlin oatmeal stout (love my stouts)
    Allagash Brewing Co.- Farm to Face ale brewed w/peaches (this has to be good)
    Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing Co.- Morro Castle smoked porter
    Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing Co.-Funnel cake boardwalk ale
    Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing Co.-What the butler saw undressed wit (ale with spices)
    DC Brau- Penn Quarter Porter

    I really loved this box because all the beers are new ticks to me. Always wanted to try Carton beers and Allagash. This box rocked and my daughter loved the beers with the "cats" on them and refused to hand over Daddy's "juice". We had to bring the cans into the tub tonight for bath night (lol).

    Cheers to you Rob!! and I sincerely appreciate the box


    continued.....

    Was actually hoping it was a trick question and the answer was 0, and 111 would be closest.

    But, if you are saying I should go higher, then double that... 111,111.

    "you made beer friends with the right dude." - @PG2G

    Sorry for the mega delay, had a family outing today and finally put the rugrats to bed but yesterday came home to this beast of a box and my dog wanted to fight it. [​IMG]

    so i open this box that weighs more then thor's hammer and my heart starts racing like the Flash on meth.
    [​IMG]

    so the first three are 3f pear bear ( my wife wants to drink this but thinks the label is gross and two brews from transient, new to me but I trust @lefty17 to send me good stuff.
    [​IMG]

    next up on the parade of insanity is 2 bottle of R&D from NG including BBB which i want to battle verses my cascade boubonic to see which is the bourbon sour king. also a new to me bourbon pumpkin, which is I think the only thing we disagree on beer wish, I have to admit i like pumpkin beers (please dont send me a bunch of pumpkin beers, not that I dont want em its just my wife will beat me with a club if she catches me sending a bunch of revenge boxes out)
    [​IMG]

    now to some crazy brews the sure bet from pipeworks which is already gone (yum btw) need more fruited hoppy beer in my life. next is the bob ross did it (im going to put a happy little tree here and its our secret) a ba scotch ale that will be perfect for this harsh 70 degree winter we are getting now in LA. and next some 18th street imp Blud, this bottle looks mean, like its going to take my lunch money mean. Saving this spicy monster for a hard day at work.
    [​IMG]

    and saving the best for last...let me just say this @lefty17 u are the stuff of legends.

    no words they should have sent a poet.
    [​IMG]

    now its my mission to try and return fire on u with at least of fraction of your kindness.
