    If your up early on Thursday morning 8:30 at Hunger Mountain Coop you can get cases of Heady without much wait. Both Rockart and Lost Nation are between Waterbury and Hills Farmstead if you have the time. I'm actually headed in the opposite direction that weekend am going to stay Friday night near Harrisburg and try to get a couple hand shakes at Pizza Boy. Then on to the Pittsburg area for the rest of the weekend to see my daughter and her family.

    I'll be heading up to Boston on the 19th of this month and was wondering, if its worth taking up some TX goods with me to share?? I'll be hitting up Trillium, Treehouse and possibly Nightshift, and was wondering if y'all think they'd be alright with me taking some to leave with them??

    Not sure about Trillium and Treehouse but I have seen the guys at Nightshift accept a gift or too. The 19th the only day you'll be around I might be able hook up on Saturday the 21st at Nightshift as there is a big Beer and BBQ fest in Lexington that day I'll be going to.

    I'm not @Eziel :slight_smile: but Slack is a meeting collaboration sharing online site.. our company uses it for project management and all sorts of things.

    if i had to guess the use from people on here, I would bet a LOT more snark and .gifs

    No need to thank me, you were pretty much the runaway winner for best box based on the votes of your peers. Enjoy and great job!

    This was actually a very easy box to throw together; no need to worry about hunting down fresh IPAs! I lucked out and stumbled across the Cassian in IA (it hasn't even hit MN yet), and I picked up Old Believer in KC on a whim. I haven't had my bottle yet, but its supposed to be pretty solid.

    Cheers!

    @JNForsyth Thanks for the vote everyone, I'm just happy to be spreading around some good beer, and this was an unexpected treat!

    This was an awesome box, helped me realize how many beers I want that aren't on my wants list.

    Onto the good stuff:
    [​IMG]
    Atalanta - Sounds delicious, tart plum saison, yum
    Liminal moment - Great sounding IPA that I've wanted to try for a while
    Double citra - Same as above, can't wait to get into this one
    Lexicon devil - Looks great, totally new to me

    [​IMG]

    How we're all these not on my wants??
    30th anniversary ale - I've always wanted to try this one, really excited
    Bourbon barrel barleywine ale - Been dying to try some central waters, and I really enjoy barrel aged barleywines
    Dark lord - Want! I've been hoping to try this for a while now, so excited to have it
    Permasmile - Uh, how did I not have this as a want, my favorite type of fruited sour

    [​IMG]

    All together here, and with my new awesome handmade bottle opener! Thanks everyone, especially @JNForsyth and @smanson56!

    Also, wanted to put this out there. While on my trip through New England, I will be planning to purchase the maximum allocations my wife and I can get. With that said, Does anyone here have any wants from the places I listed? I can try and get some items for the group as well. Shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

    Possibly, we'll have to see when the time comes. My participation in the Locals and various other BIF's/LIF's take up a lot of my time and resources.
