    Two boxes scheduled to hit on Friday to my target.

    I'm curious to see more wrapping jobs. Mine were terrible.

    Boxes are on their way and are scheduled to arrive on Friday.

    Can't wait to see all the pron shots later this week. Should also start seeing more #VBS shots as more people start digging into the stocking stuffers. This thread is going to be glorious.

    My wife's dad texted to inform that this package arrived at their house in Indiana yesterday (I'll be there December 22 - 30). He's already ribbing me with questions like "Should I drink it before it goes bad?" Clearly, he's not to be trusted to unbox it for me.

    12-Days box going out today. @Mipper - Here are some special instructions for you:
    • Day #1 (Christmas) is a growler that should be refrigerated as soon as possible when it arrives (Friday?). All other days may be treated like any other "Days of" BIF beers, refrigerated whenever you like.
    • There is a music CD included, taped to the top of the styrofoam shipper. It is labeled with similar instructions to those below. Do not listen to this CD prior to the instructed time.
    • On Christmas, DO NOT unwrap the bottle. I specifically left the top unwrapped so you can pour it blind. The growler tag is under the wrapping paper if you want to keep it for posterity once you've drank the bottle.
    • Before you pour the beer, place the CD in an apparatus that will allow you to play it. If you use a computer, you may need to ask for assistance. Not because you're old and I'm afraid you might not know how to work a computer, but rather I'm worried that some CD's will automatically load Artist/Album/Song information when inserted, and I want to keep all this info a surprise. Also, try to avoid using an apparatus that plays automatically when a CD is inserted. You'll be listening to Track 11, not Track 1 - BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE INSTRUCTIONS!!!
    • Crack open the growler and pour yourself a nice big glass. I recommend a snifter of your choice (not included, sorry). If there are other fans of delicious beer around, please feel free to utilize the Trillium tasters provided in the Extras box.
    • Finally, take a sip. Contemplate life. Hit "Play" on Track #11 (content hint?). Let the magic of the beer and music wash over you as your taste buds and ear drums simultaneously orgasm.

    Merry Christmas Eric!

    It'll be a (12 days of) Christmas miracle if my boxes arrive on Saturday like fedex is claiming they will. Hope my wrapping paper isn't mangled. I didn't put a Bow on it cause I didn't want it to get knocked off in transit but maybe I should've?

    While my target may be on to me, I'm still in the dark. I'm down to 8 possible senders if I did my research correctly.

    Well I'm in Vt right now but my SO just sent me a text that there was a big box on the porch. So I'm assuming that someone might know something about it. I'm about 3 hours from home now and at least 1 more beer stop on the way home

    Days 9-12

    And more extras!
    DFH Pennsylvania Tuxedo - sounds like winter in a glass with those spruce tips
    Voodoo Big Black Voodoo Daddy - new tick and sounds really tasty
    Trillium Old Soul - new tick again; really dig barley wines; any idea roughly how old this one is?
    Lost Abbey 10 Commandments - keep the new ticks rolling; sounds delicious and good to share with friends
    Bell's 30th - excellent stout; getting drank tonight
    New Holland Dragon's Reserve w/ toasted chilies - MOAR NEW TICKS! having family over for chili on Sunday, so here's my beer for dinner
    Voodoo #BOC - in a community constantly chasing barrel-aged anything with 7 different adjuncts, I love some high quality "regular" beers.
    Voodoo snifter for some #pgw

    Thanks again, Rob. Christmas can't get here soon enough.

    I think that Old Soul is about a year old.
