    You and I have that in common. I didn't number any of the wrapped days so chose as you want. The Crowlers are from a new brewery here called Corporate Ladder They've been putting out some solid beers. Hope you enjoy.
    Cjeers!

    So my box arrived from @tsgooch79 today -- I had figured he was my sender, based on some really good clues that pointed towards me without completely giving it away. And here's what was inside...

    [​IMG]

    The six cans include some interesting ones, all new ticks

    Three Taverns Morning Smack - this is a "Maple, Bacon, Banana Coffee Milk Stout"
    Bearded Iris Mood Ring w/Strawberries
    Southern Grist Mango Salt on the Rim
    Southern Grist DDH Noise Pollution
    Monday Night fistful of cake - an "Opera Cake-Style Coffee Vanilla Imperial Stout"
    and finally, a West 6th / Country Boy collaboration - S'more Country Western Volume 7 - "Imperial Stout with Cacao, Vanilla, & Graham"

    And the six wrapped ones came complete with drinking instructions (basically in the order they're lined up) and the wonderful info that they're all new to me and all barrel-aged.

    I haven't unwrapped the glass yet on the assumption that I'm supposed to save that for the two days with bottles that much, but I guess Travis can confirm that for me.

    Thanks Travis -- this looks amazing, they'll start getting consumed tonight, and I'm looking forward to the reveals!!

    Dear target (do you know who you are)-

    I want to apologize for your package not arriving til Saturday (hopefully). The stupid second rate FedEx dropoff location assured me it would go out yesterday but it looks like it didn’t leave there til today. I’m sorry!

    Dear sunder (i.e., @vitaminvert)-

    I will be out of town starting tomorrow around 11am until Sunday afternoon. I hope that worn't be a problem. I haven't received any notification emails yet, but I hope to be able to intercept the package. Cheers!

    So far I'm perfect this round on predictions and deliveries (although at least one box landed that I had no clue about). But... I don't know how I got there, but I have a different sender for you...??? I would guess you're right (I'm not as diligent about this stuff as I used to be), but if not maybe that explains why you haven't gotten a notification...

    BTW -- the first bottle I pulled out was one with donut wrapping paper. And I actually thought that was the label, and turned the bottle around looking for a name before I figured out what you did. I need to remember that for next time I do a "wrapped bottle" round, since my target is gonna pull out some much uglier 6 days bottles this time.
