    Late night Pr0nzzz. Box landed from @Elkevjoe today. Super awesome and he's not even my sender.

    Jackie O's Vanilla Bean and Coffee Dark Apparition: Want
    Hoof Hearted (seriously, who did it?) Everybody Wants Some Citra: The impetus for the box. Absolutely delicious. Who doesn't like Van Halen?!?!
    Surly Todd The Axe Man: Permawant
    Fat Head's Hop Juju: Definitely a want although not on my wants list. Drinking this currently
    The Brew Kettle Kitka Coconut Chocolate Milk Stout: Sounds delicious
    The Brew Kettle Tunguska Imperial Stout: Also sounds very good
    Willoughby Peanut Butter Cup Porter: Should have been a want. I've heard this is fantastic.
    The Brew Kettle White Rajah IPA: Looking forward to revisiting
    Hoof Hearted: Roller Blabe DIPA: Yes please

    Thank you so much man. I will be sending a return box soon.

    Hint #1 - I have never traded with someone in your state before.
    Hint #2 - I'm shipping to a different time zone.
    Hint #3 - We have checked the same beer at least once in February on Untapp'd.
    Hint #4 - Your state's minimum wage is higher than mine (Minnesota).
    Hint #5 - I've rated more beers as a 5 than you have.
    Hint #6 - I've rated more beers total than you.
    Hint #7 - Your state has more consonants than vowels.
    Hint #8 - I'm definitely more drunk than you right now.

    Wait, was Downton Abbey finale that good? Just kidding. Great work on your clues @Homebrew, clearly there is a system here and you gave us the key and it's damn tough to crack it, which makes it great and fun.

    Think numbers then you might be able to crack the message, there is no key, just randomness surrounding one of my favorite bands

    I came home today and found my Fedex delivery man laid out on my driveway with a broken back. He was screaming in pain from having lifted and carried the box @Greeny87 sent me. Somehow he got it onto my porch, and fortunately, the reinforcements held, but barely.

    Gentlemen- this is how you blow away your target!!

    First the Growlers and bombers:
    Growler Tired Hands Foliage- a DIPA. I haven't had any Tired Hands before, so I'm stoked to get this
    Growler (?? mystery) - no tag on it, but it is labeled Beer, so it is a want!
    Neshaminy Creek Imperial Chocolate Mudbank Milk Stout- The only NC I've had is County Line IPA and it was really good
    CCB Caffe' Americano- huge want, and one that I have tried to trade for before and unsuccessfully
    Tired Hands Ourison- a Saison, and again a new one for me
    Forest & Main Waiting For You- a Biere de garde that sounds like I can age a little

    [​IMG]
    Next the bottles:
    DFH 120 Minute IPA- a permawant; I love this beer. I've only had a couple sips at a bottle share once
    Weyerbacher Sunday morning Stout- also a permawant.
    Ayinger Celebrator Dopplebock- want! We get Ayinger in Ga, but I've never tracked this one down
    Avery Tweak- definite want; again really excited to get this! The ABV is too high to get down here!
    Thirsty Dog Wulver- ANOTHER WANT- dude- you killed this box.
    Funky Buddha Nib Smuggler- permawant.
    Dieu du Ciel Peche' Mortel- another WANT

    That's at least 5 beers from my "wants" list!

    [​IMG]
    And Swag!


    Thanks, Andrew! This is an amazing box!
    Cheers!!

    No worries dude! Glad it arrived safely. The other growler is 2SP - Dual Hop Drop. A double IPA from a new and killer brewery over in the PA area. Let me know if need help finding it on Untapped. I've checked it in before as well.

    The DF120m is a few years old, let me know what you think. I also wanted to add in HopJuJu but saw you checked it in just in time. Also couldn't get a Dock Street Rye IPA in time, but added the sticker in.

    Cheers.
