    Similarly, @swenny916 cracked my porch last week and I was in the weeds...more apologies for the delay on these liquid gems:

    [​IMG]

    Torn Label Old Believer RIS (fave style)
    4Hands Absence of Light PB Choc Milk Stout (another pants change, ugh)
    Toppling Goliath Mo Zee IPA (first TG beer ever!)
    Half Acre GoneAway IPA x2 (very tasty, these went fast!)

    Love the selections! Thank you very much @swenny916 !!

    Not pictured: the hella dope Half Acre and Toppling Goliath IPAs that I chugged on the train, because I am stupid and do not know how to properly take a photograph. Bad form on my behalf. Nonetheless, a killer box of Chicago from Coz!

    This here is a STUPID dope box of South Florida --- just what we need to survive the coming blizzard in NJ. Thanks, Whyteboy.

    Also if the other winners, @Mcooly and @theKidisStrong could tag those who they have yet to receive boxes from that would be great! I know that @alwaysplayin has received all of his boxes.

    Its coming up on 2 months since the superbowl, boxes should have all landed by now! or at the very least communication as to why they have not been.

    Thank you!

    Still waiting on @joeyice3 3(+) weeks since he has been active. Not too worried about my box but want to make sure he isn't included in other BiFs or trades. Does this warrant a bad trader review?
