    Your choice. I thought that Jhavs box was awesome, the double cans of Barleywine in a plastic sleeve was the deciding factor, that I can't see anything else tickling my fancy as much. Shrug.

    I just saw on FedEx's page a warning of disruption of service due to storms in Memphis, their central hub. Hopefully, nobody will be affected by that.

    I doubt that it will affect ground service. Everything that that ships overnight goes through Memphis. Your box might be on the same train as my box, going across the top of the country.

    LOLOL I'm dumb. I meant to tag my target... @TongoRad, but was looking at your avatar while doing so ha. I guess the question still applies, but for now...this stout vertical will be going to New Jersey...

    I thought it was odd yours was sent down to Portlandia while mine seems to have gone straight across the country from Spokane to Chicago. I assumed both would go by truck along I90.

    Chucking down my pie hole maybe? See the current WBAYDN for the carnage! Thanks again Dave, the Heady is fresh as can be and hitting all the notes this morning. :slight_smile:

    I was rather hoping he'd flipped his wig and had just started shooting stout verticals to everyone, and was excitedly awaiting mine.

    I believe they all go Intermodal. That is, box gets put in a trailer bound for, say, Chicago. Trailer gets driven to a railyard, where it's placed on a train car. Train can stop and pickup/drop off cars at various points. My boxes always go Bham-Burlington-Troutdale-wherever. Maybe the big Fedex ground facility on this side is there, and yours might be in Spokane? It'd be interesting to ask @sharpski if he's ever tracked his outbound boxes from Bend, and see if they go to Boise, or somewhere else.

    @beertunes If the 3rd place box is still not accounted for I can whip up a Midwest goodie box.

    No one else spoken for it, it's yours!!! It doesn't have to be big, the 2nd place is a 4-pack of Heady, so just a couple cans/bottles will suffice. get in touch with Smanson, and he'll keep ya notified on who to and when to ship. Thank you!

    Sitting in a chair looking out the front window with fingers crossed for a delivery.
