Big thanks to @jonbonfondle and @Elkevjoe for helping out. When I searched them out, they were on @Burrass wants, then disappeared after plans were in motion. Hopefully you still need them.
Never mind sender that is a different beer mail that I saw the Fed Ex notification for. A surprise to me that I was just informed of by someone not in this BIF. So yours is still a surprise!!!!
To my target: apparently my hints sucked this round, I see how I led you wrong, but don't worry, the beer won't suck. A final hint, it looks like you're from Germany, and quite hairy.
Alright, hopefully these show up OK. @corm44 just killed it! I've got some drinking to do. First, the small guys and swag! Weyerbacher - Sunday Mole Stout - Awesome beer in my favorite style. Happy to have another. Weyerbacher - Sunday Morning Stout - Want and new tick and I can't wait to try it. Mikkeller - Beer Geek Dessert - Another Want and new tick. Sounds tasty. Heady! - Huge Want; Can't wait to try my first Heady! Thanks so much! New England Brewing - 668 The Neighbor of the Beast - Sounds great and perhaps the funniest beer name I've ever seen. Really love the can art on this one! Maine - Lunch - Should have been a want. Really can't wait to try this one! Keegan Ales - Joe Mama's Milk and a super awesome T-shirt! Love the shirt and the beer sounds great. Next we have the Avery portion of my former wants list! Xolotl, Uncle Jacob's, Tweak, and Callipygian! All are big time wants and new ticks! Next, we'll move to the big ones. I've been a little jealous of all the Funky Buddha stuff the Florida guys seem to throw around here, but apparently corm44 throws this stuff around too! 4 Funky Buddha Wants - Last Snow, Butta Cup, Maple Bacon Coffee Porter, and Wide Awake It's Morning, and the wrapped beer as well. All are new ticks except Last Snow, but that was awhile ago and I've been hoping to try it again! But there's still more.... 5 of the biggest wants on my whole list! As I said earlier, I think the mexican spiced imperial stout is my favorite beer style, and these are 4 big ones! Central Waters - Space Ghost - New tick I can't wait to try it! Perennial - Abraxas! - This is the want that I got called out on sending to my target! This is probably my favorite beer and a mega permawant! I'm pumped to have this one since I sent my only '16 bottle to my target. Westbrook - Mexican Cake - Another permawant. If Abraxas is my favorite beer, this is a close second favorite! Cigar City - Huna!!! - This would be a new tick! I've wanted to try this beer for a long time. I've also long wanted to do a blind tasting of Abraxas, Cake, and Huna, and now I have a bottle of each to drink..........hmmmm! This could be fun! Cigar City - Caffe Americano - Another huge want and new tick! Can't wait to try it. And somehow I managed to fit everything into one picture. Thanks so much corm44! That's 21 total beers, 16 of which were wants! I guess this is how y'all treat the new guys! Hope I can get to all of these before the next round. Thanks for the awesome box!
Got a return fire box from @droopy1202, totally unnecessary, but man am I excited to try these beers. Both Freemont beers look awesome, I've been eyeing the brewery for a long time, and the cinnamon coffee b-bomb sounds so tasty. Funny enough I gave my brother in law a crowler of notorious and never got a chance to try it with him, excited to get to sample it! Also doing some work on my bif box from @Tifore LOL Tho was my favorite, all were great though.

Glad everything arrived safely but most importantly, that you sound pleased with the contents. Thank you for having a good sized Wants list and keeping it up to date. That made it pretty easy for me to pick out bottles for you box. Now get to drinking, you have a lot of work to do. Cheers!

Nice box my man!!! Pound those New Newbies porches! Some serious best box contenders this round, wow! That is a nice TX box! That beer sits in my TOP 10 all-time favorites for sure.... Awesome boxes going around, hope my target gets hit today.
Lol Tho was awesome and was my favorite too. Glad you enjoyed them man! After seeing other boxes landing, I feel severely outdone.
Wow, you guys are killing it. Some great boxes landing recently! Some of these veterans have no self control, don't feel intimidated or outdone by these monster boxes.
Got hit with about 319.8 fluid ounces by @Jackd33 ! Some wants, some permawants, some should-be wants, some new beer ticks, some new brewery ticks, and a nice teku glass from Mad Tree. Looking forward to trying all of them! Thanks man!!
