    I just logged in to make sure everything arrived safely. A few tips:
    Drink the Ale la Reverend ASAP. Session ale brewed to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Short's wedding anny. Purchased (along with the shirt) at Short's brewpub a week ago today. I absolutely love this beer.
    Sanders fudge rules
    The de Viento is a Saison brewed with coffee. Let me know what you think.
    You probably won't like this pumpkin beer either, but I thought I'd try (FWIW, I'm like you in that I don't like pumpkin beers).
    That wheat wine was the biggest "wow" I've had on a beer in a long time. Didn't think I'd like it, but ended up really enjoying it.

    Cheers.

    All of the IPA's are going down this weekend and I'm super intrigued by the de Viento the more I read about it.

    and for the record I love all beer I just love pumpkin beers less than others:wink:.

    Tomorrow I will be stopping at a brewery that recently celebrated its first anniversary to pick some swag to complete my box. Shipping Monday, the box should arrive mid-week in a city that has just as many vowels in its spelling as consonants.

    From CCB we have - Big Sound, Cucumber Saison, Good Gourd, MZ, Batch 69, Jai Alai, and Bolita

    From Saint Somewhere - Pays Du Soleil

    Swamp Head Brewery - Saison Du Swamp

    Intuition Ale Works - West Coast IPA and People's Pale Ale.

    As for the swag and non beer related items : Intuition Ale Works Long sleeve T which is awesome, right before winter. Wook's Gluten Free beef Jerkey pepper and hickory flavored, and a jar of C&D Delights Strawberry Jalapeno flavored JAM.


    This was such an amazing box and i Can't thank you enough Nathan. As for the name on the board, I'M not positive who it is, but im going to throw out a guess and say it was Hands22 just because of his location, and his hints. Super excited to try all of these beers as i haven't had a single thing i received. Thanks again guys, and special thanks to Cuzco for putting all of this together.

    Yea, that was me! I always forget to put my BA name in the box somewhere. I didn't think to check the tracking number yesterday since ups said it wouldn't be there until Monday!

    Glad everything made it safely. The strawberry jalapeño jam is heavy on the jalapeño so watch out. Oh, and that's jai alai on aged on white oak spirals... Even better than regular jai alai! Enjoy :slight_smile:

    To my target: I am sad to report that some of my favorite local fresh hop beers were not ready for your box this week. I have hopefully made up for this glaring fault by lavishly loading up your box with a whole bunch of local gems. I pack tonight and ship tomorrow.

    Another hint: We are both participating in two other BIF/LIF's at this time but one of them is wrapping up shortly.

    My targets box should be shipping out a week from today. I'm been in the process of buying my first house over the last few weeks which hasn't afforded me the free time to pick up the last piece of the puzzle. I should have a couple weeks of free time coming up as I await closing, finally.

    Box is hitting the road today. Full of some of Southern California's finest minus the Enjoy By IPA that I referenced earlier. No wants in the box, but many future wants.

    My box was just picked up from my home and is on its way. Traveling to the northeast. The name of the city is also the last name of a current NFL qb who was also the qb at the college that I graduated from.

    Ugh. I just found out that the key growler for my target's box will not be available until late in the week. Patience is a virtue!

    Was going to ship in a few hours, but the bag containing 3 bombers decided to rip and break in my garage. So... either tomorrow, or next monday. So bummed.

    My target's box is in the hands of the fine folks at Fedex. It will be heading West to the capital city of a state. My target may have visited a monument dedicated to the ship whose sinking led to the greatest single loss of life at sea in the history of the U.S. Navy.

    My targets box is also in the hands of Fedex, headed to the northeast with beers from 5 central Texas breweries.

    I am super impressed with the shipping speed and awesomeness of this BIF thus far. I better get my act together and get my box out!

    I will be picking up the last piece of swag tomorrow and will have the boxes dropped off. my target's state and my own share similar nicknames after a certain cooking utensil.

    Sounds like FL to me! If I'm your target you could just give me the box since I'm in OKC right now :slight_smile:

    You are not my target but you could definitely save me on some shipping :wink: What are you doint in OKC? BM me if you brought anything for in person trades. I have plenty of vintage OK 1 offs.
