    The glass may or may not foreshadow part of your future

    Soooo @NickyPogs sent me two boxes of yule time revenge. Getting back at my liver for my bruery bombing of @lefty17 this summer. Pron coming soon got to put the kiddies to sleep.

    This might lead to a west vs midwest beer war that only the Betty ford clinic can win.

    As long as they are safe and no liquid is dripping or glass crunching, than I can breath easy.

    So here is the proof of the destruction from @campa86
    [​IMG]
    Fedex guy parked with the back towards my driveway & used a dolly...that should have been my first clue. After sliding the large box inside I took a break
    [​IMG]
    A shoe for reference...the two on the right are from Mike
    [​IMG]
    It's hard to tell but that is all 12 days lined up & they are all 2 deep with a note....seems like we have ourselves a BA'er straight from the SAW movies
    [​IMG]
    Color me both intrigued & a wee bit scared but challenge accepted!

    Quite right, and I just finished unboxing.... what the motherfuck?!

    Firstly, chocolate alligator walez... one will go into each of my and my wife's stockings assuming they fit.
    [​IMG]




    Then this............
    [​IMG]

    As you all might recall, I already got a full 12 Days, complete with a couple days of double bottles and even a "swap out" option. What this is I have no earthly idea.

    Best part: Star Wars wrapping paper. Awesome.






    Oh, and this also happened....
    [​IMG]

    Apparently if I drink the three smaller beers on the same day I get the fourth. Based on shape and my outspoken love of all things vertical, I have a pretty good hunch what the challenge is. If I'm right, thank you and fuck you @gjoker321!

    Well here we go, this shit just got real. @rspauldi absolutely rocked my world with 3 crazy boxes today!

    First thing I see when I open the first box is a super sweet Santa hat, my kids say it and took off with it before I could even snap a pic. Here is Tom modeling said hat:
    [​IMG]

    And here's the contents of box #1:
    [​IMG]

    A couple of wrapped beers, a Prairie Tulsa Rugby Ale (a want), Odell Myrcenary (another want), and two bottles of Saint Arnold Rootbeer. One of the RB bottles was immediately snapped up by my oldest, Brennen, as he had just run dry of his RB supply earlier this evening:
    [​IMG]


    Then it was time for box #2:
    [​IMG]
    A whole pile of wrapped beers in box #2, that's a lot of bottles but the larges box is yet to come......(to be continued)

    So I open up box #3 and what do I fine? 4 more boxes to open, damn @rspauldi, what a great packing job!
    [​IMG]

    Let's start with box 3.1, labeled as "Swag":
    [​IMG]

    Saint Arnold keg glass - Bren was already eyeing this up for his 2nd bottle of root beer.
    Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets - Hell yes, saw these is hauls before and now I have my own. Kids and wife have already have some and they love them.
    Jester King glass - Wow this a beauty, foreshadowing future #properglassware posts?!?!

    Next up is box 3.2, labeled as Day 0/Extras:
    [​IMG]

    Two Day Zero beers (!), two more wrapped extras, Revolution Eugene (another want), and Santa Fe Imperial Java Stout (yep, want).

    Still going, box 3.3 labeled as Days 6 & 10/Extras:
    [​IMG]

    Buffalo Bayou Lenin's Revenge (Hey, would you look at that, another want!), big wrapped beers for Days 6 & 10, Infamous Sweep the Leg (of course it's a want, love the Karate Kid as well)

    Almost there, box 3.4 is labeled as Day 7 and it's a fucking wrapped up box, holy balls!
    [​IMG]

    It's big. It's heavy. It has a note that says "hope you have friends" on it. I've already been checking with all of my local buddies to see who's available to help with this monster and make sure I live to see Day 8 and 2016! :confused::grimacing::confused::grimacing:

    At this point I'm not sure if I'm excited, scared, or what.....

    Here's the full frontal haul shot:
    [​IMG]

    Bloody hell that's a lot of beer, you are out of control Russ....I mean that in the nicest way possible!

    [​IMG]

    And here's the complete 13 Days of beer. If I survive this do I get a medal? How about at least a certificate of participation?

    I'm blown away here Russ, you are the best, can't wait to unwrap and enjoy all of these goodies!

    BTW - What's the procedure for the wrapped extras?

    Jesus, I feel so bad for @lefty17. I'm his sender. I sent out two 12 bottle shippers. Who knows what happened to one of them but it's currently 'unable to deliver - possession of shipment transferred to government warehouse'. So sorry Adam. In that box was a Cantillon Bio Gueuze, Grey Monday, BA DORIS, Yellow Breeches Kriek, BBA Vanilla Hellfighter and Bourbon Mexican Cake. I believe the extras were Free Will Ralphius, Kuhnhenn M word, Intangible Ales Jawn of the Dead, Zero Day BBA Grievance, Night Shift Habanera and Spring House Martians Kidnap Santa.

    I'm devastated and can't believe this happened. I'm currently working on a makeup box and am trying to make it comparable to those that are lost. You're not an easy target :slight_smile:

    Yeah yeah yeah, and In my lost box was 4x KBBS

    Holy shit, that's a hell of a box and what a shitty thing to loose. I may have a bottle to donate to the cause if you can't wrangle enough up, might make @Kyle2k10 jealous tho, let me know if you need assistance
