    I think your math is wrong. @Dragginballs76 sent that much in ninja boxes himself, I'm pretty sure, so you must be missing some. :stuck_out_tongue::rofl:

    I'll send you some, for a non sour guy it tastes like drinking sea water from the Dead Sea. But most guys love it, and you can give it a shot.

    Sorry I’ve been away from the thread, boys - long week at work and other stuff. I’ll rectify that the next few days with a bevy of beers from @TongoRad and @SammyJaxxxx. Tonight, this killer DIPA from Industrial Arts, a brewery I never even heard of before, but now love.

    Juice bomb deluxe, with dank grapefruit and mango flavors crushing my palate. More, please.

    My first beer from Magnify, courtesy of @SammyJaxxxx. I love maple syrup, and this excellent imperial stout has more maple flavor than Aunt Jemima. A pleasure to drink.

    Just so you know not to look for the USPS, provided nothing goes wrong and the beer I am waiting goes on week after next.

    FedEx Ground is: Economical - Our rates are among the most cost-effective for ground shipping. Comprehensive - We offer delivery to every address in the 48 contiguous U.S. states within 1 to 5 business days based on the distance to the destination (delivery to Alaska and Hawaii in 3 to 7 business days).

    So while I’m stuck at work for a few more hours apparently curiosity got the best of the Mrs.......she decided to open the box and send me a pic of the glorious contents.

    @Bum4ever this is an unbelievable bomb that you dropped on my porch! Don’t think this one is going unnoticed!



    Awesome touch with the red wine. I think the Mrs may be opening it already!

    I believe that. Did you count my LIF box to @akatz821 ? I think the haul photo may have been posted to Cans Cans or Rookies BIF - can't recall which. I forgot how much was in there, but... it was a 12 shipper.

    I think you mean 24,423.99, Josh. Just sayin'.

    Awesome box @Bum4ever - well done, sir!

    USPS: 2 days anywhere in America (including Hawaii and Alska) for $14. 7 day a week delivery. And, far less inquisitive employees. Especially if one uses the self-serve kiosk. :wink:

    Yeah but I owe him big time a large flat rate is not going to do it. I have also had 3 packages in the last 4 weeks from them that leaked and the lady seemed a little pissed this week as she brought me a bag with my box in it.

    Digging back into @strohme2 box for this imperial IPA from Short's Hellacious Rock. Really nice IPA great malt backbone very impressed how well the alcohol is hidden.

    Appearance 4.25 - Pours slightly cloudy golden color with big fluffy white head and sticky lacing all around the glass.

    Aroma 4 - Very mild tropical fruit mango and orange mostly with a grapefruit undertone. Slight malt aroma and floral hops.

    Taste 4 - Big hot of floral hops up front back with a great malt flavor. Nice citrus peel, grapefruit and overly ripe pineapple on the finish.

    Feel 4 - Medium bodied well carbonated with a slightly dry finish no sign of the alcohol.

    Overall 4.02 - Really well done imperial IPA great solid malt backbone with nice citrus.

    This delights me. Put me down for 31,111. If I somehow win I will have to forward.

    Nice hit @Bum4ever ! Rebel alliance MVP, for sure!

    Tell me more about this self-serve kiosk you speak of, I've never used USPS.

    I use USPS exclusively, and have for probably a couple hundred shipments.

    I'm a fan.

    Sure, it depends on how much one is shipping, and to where. But, 3 medium boxes total under $42.
