    Awesome, so glad everything made it safely. The Troegs Scratch is this years Impending Descent, my favorite beer of theirs.

    Yes it is, they recently changed their main label to that guitar pick thing but I still had a Teku with the old logo so I had to send it off.

    Another #VBS. Maybe I'll just do one Texas beer per night. This one is awesome. Even my wife said how good it smelled when I opened it. And it's super tart for an ipa. It's great.

    Glad you guys have been enjoying the Spirit Animal. I've kept a steady six pack in my fridge of it for like 2 months now.

    EZ is a weird sorcerer I guess! Ha, I forgot to label the growler with a tag! That my friend is Bodhi, a Columbus favorite and a tasty treat. Hope the growler held up well. The Last Snow should have been wrapped in newspaper with "challenge beer" written on it, no worries if there is no snow yet, just wanted you to enjoy it, looked like a new tick for you. I threw in the sticker because I had an extra and love that artwork! Enjoy!!

    My first #VBS, enjoying a blind pig for the first time in years, with proper glassware!

    Had a pretty rough day, when I got home I realized someone had broken in and robbed me. Lost a few valuables but nothing irreplaceable, thankfully they didn't touch the beer and this really hit the spot after dealing with it all.

    Totally missed any writing on the newspaper while unwrapping things. But have no fear I'll honor the challenge as soon as we get some snow but it does sound like anytime soon they are saying it may be back in the 50's next week here.
    And the Bodhi is great!
    And as for the continuing of the GIF I think waiting until after X-Mas is the best thing will all shipping stuff going on right now. I'll start sign up's after this weekend.

    I'm glad you liked it! I saw on your untappd that you had tried PseudoSue and Golden Nugget, but I was able to tell from the pictures that they were the 12 oz bottles, which are all contract brewed by BrewHub in Florida. While they are still good beers, they are still trying to match the quality of the stuff brewed in Decorah, which they put in the 22 oz bottles. That is why I was comfortable including the PseudoSue, even though you had already ticked it, as well as being on a lot of people's perma-want list.

    I haven't had this year's non-BA Darkness, so I will defer to @sembo on when to pop that. I would definitely try to get to hoppy stuff first.

    I hope you enjoy them!

    Came home to a giant box last night from @SRBush1974

    VERY well packed and my first box-in-a-box experience. I was super excited pulling out all the stems and cans from this box!!

    KANE bottle opener
    KANE and Carton stickers
    Carton fat-stemmed glass
    KANE nice big ole tulip!!
    Other Half All Green Everything stemmed glass!

    The BEER:
    DFH - 120 Minute - the only beer in the box I've had before, a welcome bottle in my house. 2014 bottle too
    Grimm - Cloud busting - fun art, sounds tasty
    Carton - BOAT - mmm
    Carton - SS Yirgacheff - thought this was a coffee beer based on the name, but the can label only says Imperial Pale Ale? Upon further reading - Coffee!!
    Carton - Epitome - high abv black ale, yes please
    Kane - Hop Lab IIIPA growler - so many i's. Galaxy, Mosaic, Amarillo & Simcoe -excited for this!!!
    Other Half - All Green Everything - Want!
    Other Half - Baby Diamonds - popped one last night! Gets me warmed up for some AGE. Very tasty!
    Westbrook. - Gose - never had, needed to try this!

    This box was awesome. Can party! Really nice to get a few more stems (and with some variety). PGW time

    Thanks so much to @SRBush1974 for the goods. You nailed it. Really nice early Christmas opening this up.

    Now I need to work on my photo game for some of the vbs.
