    Hot damn this is good. Normally not a fan of this style but I dig the clean-ness of the Ipa with the Brett funk. Thanks Jon.

    Love the Tree House shirt. Really like their logo. Very nice Trillium glass and the Tree House growler is gonna look great on my wall of growlers. This is one wicked cool box (did I say that right?) Couldn't be more excited to break into these. Thanks again.

    Some really killer boxes today, keep the pron coming!

    So damn good! I went there with the intention of just getting the citra IPA, then I ordered a glass of this. I couldn't in any good conscience leave without a crowler of the brett.

    Great job took me an my wife at least 10 min. To unpack it (it's like early xmas for her) (and she doesn't drink)

    The crowlers are point Ybel dwarf galaxy & full breakfast. Never heard of them but already I like this one.

    Of course Chad sent along another cushion that's not in the pic. It may find its way into my lif after the holidays. And if anyone is wondering why no swag, I had requested that I'd give up all swag for a brewery hoodie which Chad was awesome enough to find me. Pic will come when it arrives

    Glad everything but the FB snifter made it there safe @core42. It was 18 oz snifter. Let me know if you want a replacement and I can easily get a new one out to you. Enjoy!
    P.s. I have no idea where that orvallis brewing supply sticker came from. Maybe it was in the box already.

    Hey –Yes I did!

    Wife "you got a box today"
    Me "amazon?"
    "No it's a big one, like beer maybe"
    "let me see, ooh surprise beer box"
    "we’re you expecting something"
    “not really, but maybe it’s the cushion’s LIF”
    “what?”
    “see”
    “oooooooooh, ahhhhhhhhh”

    Anyways, this was an awesome Monday surprise.

    It was a little funny unwrapping the same beer over and over, I was thinking you phoned in a 6 pack at first lol. I was WRONG!

    Got those beautiful red cushions!

    And lots of beer –
    Lawson’s Finest Liquids – Sip of Sunshine
    Lawson’s Finest Liquids – Super Session #2
    Lawson’s Finest Liquids – Double or Nothing
    Long Trail – SmaSH Project #2 – Maris Otter and Mosaic
    Sierra Nevada - Narwhal VERTICAL 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015
    PLUS Sierra Nevada - Barrel Aged Narwhal 2015 ¡!


    I like the Narwhal and that should be a fun evening of tastings. Maybe NYE and Sparty football?

    Mmm Lawsons! Always love some IPA/IIPA/Session IPAs. The double or nothing looks particularly interesting too.

    The Smash project should be tasty. I have been digging the Mosaic single hopped beers lately. I just tapped a homebrew keg of my All-Mosaic IPA (version 5!). I need to pick up a Founder’s Mosaic Promise and do a little comparison between the three I think.

    I will post up the next round of #CIF soon. Probably run through the 1st to let everyone do their holiday thing.

    Cheers and thanks @smanson56 for another great #CIF box!
