    Can't wait to dig in either @KyleDavis, and looking forward to seeing what everyone's drinking. I suppose after midnight Wednesday also works...

    Received two boxes I'm late in posting up on beeradvocate. First is from @jschott75, sending me a wishlist box with chocolate rain.

    Can't wait to get into this chocolate rain, thanks so much! Jschott75 killed me with a bunch of extras too (chocolate rain was already incredibly generous, the others are just over the top).
    Skeletonwitch - Sounds awesome, and three floyds never disappoints.
    Rover truck - Haven't had much toppling goliath, this sounds great, I really like the style
    Belgian style quad - Recently had my first central waters beer and it was great, excited to get into this one
    Strawberry short's cake - I'd seen this posted around and wanted to try it, sounds great
    Farmer's reserve citrus - New brewery for me, sounds delicious

    Then I got hit by a delicious box from @beatjunkee, anytime I see something from Con I know I'm in for a treat, and this didn't disappoint.

    A slice of hefen - Don't end up drinking many Hefe's but I really like them
    Fugitive moments - I mentioned to Con that some of the beers from The Answer that he'd checked in sounded great and he sent me this tasty IPA, enjoyed it last night. Love mosaic, love galaxy, this was a great.
    On the wings of armageddon - Had it once before (from Con!) and it was a heavy hitter, looking forward to cracking it again.

    Received boxes from @Glustick and unfortunately one box was soaked...

    Upon further review it seems that Dracula did not make the trip safely.

    Smelled good or as the Mail lady said "something busted, it smells like soy sauce." LOL...
    Only treat 4 was soaked... I'll take the group shot when I get home... Also due to the warewolf getting soaked the number has vanished. Kyle which day is warewolf and which of extras should I drink on the other day?

    Tragedy! id suggest drinking Grand Crew Brew, the midnight sun beer. It's pretty solid but it would be a really good one to cellar as well. You can unwrap and drink in any order you please.

    I mean I can still see 1,3,5, and 6 so should I drink Werewolf on 2 or 4?

    Day 2 drink the wolfman, drink one of the extras on 4. If you choose to drink grand crew brew, you won't be disappointed :wink:

    Instead of drinking an extra that you already know what it is, I'd be willing to send you a replacement blind bottle if it will help ease the pain.

    Not sure if I'm too late for this or not but if it's still going I'll guess 2 girls 58 breweries

    Congrats!

    My roommate used #pgw, but I went with the slick new stem you sent.

    Got a huge box today, I first thought it was a bomb, then opened it up and it seemed more like a ransom note! I'll post up some photos in a couple hours of this ominous package. Still lost on who my sender was though... :slight_frown:

    Thanks @NickyPogs for this from the local anny bombing! This was a major want and did not disappoint. With the weather hitting in the 30's last night, thought it was time to crack this one open. Really smooth and tasty!
