    Are we supposed to guess the style of beer or the actual beer?

    Got my round 4 box from @narddawg314 today. Quite a few new Missouri ticks for me, can't wait to get into them. First, the small ones:

    [​IMG]

    Central Waters Cassian Sunset – been wanting to try that ever since it came out
    Crooked Stave Vieille – big fan of this brewery, Vieille is always good
    Wrapped can – mystery
    Another wrapped can – another mystery
    4Hands Preserved Lemon Gose – I love preserved lemons, so this should be great

    Now the big ones:

    [​IMG]

    4Hands Rose Weirdo – Imperial IPA was fermented with Honey, Pineapple, and Blood Oranges. Sign me up.
    Perennial Glitter & Gold – haven't had this one before
    2nd Shift Katy – Love Brett beers, this should be great
    Crane Brewing Orange Gose – looking forward to drinking this at a park
    Grimm Maple BA Double Negative – I had a bottle, but sent it out to someone, so now I can drink it
    Excel Stay Gold – nice artwork, looking forward to it

    Thank you, great box!

    I saw you got another Katy! I'm glad I mixed it up a bit and didn't go all STL. Could have been a similar box to that locals haul you got today!

    That Stay Gold is a home run. Hope you enjoy :slight_smile:

    Con strikes again! He sent back a growler I'd sent him filled with a local ipa and included some cans.

    Couldn't be more excited to crack these open, I have been dying to try a Westbrook Gose (one of my favorite styles) and the Live Oak Hefe! Already drinking the green room and it's really solid. Watch out, I think you needed this box back!

    Making slow progress on finding out what beer I received from @jschott75

    So far I had only two minutes to talk to my husband while he opened the beer, all I really heard were things like:

    "F this is a lot of beer, god damn this is a lot of beer!!"

    Woo-hoo!!! More soon!

    Pretty much every beer I drink is shared with my girlfriend, so I make sure for big trades and BIFs that she is there to help me open up all the goodies. Then we get to argue about what to drink first. Sours and saisons for me, stouts for her.
