    Just picked up another brew that was just released. While it's not on my targets wants list, I think they will be happy to have one. :slight_smile:

    The growler may be hardest thing for me to decide on, besides the order of opening.

    Any thought to doing 8+growler? I don't mind either way, but it seems that many people will be shipping a bit earlier than the first night of Hanukkah.

    I won't be (again, out of town until November 26th).

    I'd like to keep it at 8 bottles total (including the growler) I understand that people might be getting their boxes earlier than others. If the growler may not last until December 8th, let your target know and they can open it up before the 8th and then post. Maybe try to not do a style such as an IPA if you plan on shipping early?

    So I thought I could hit all 8 wants including a growler fill. Then I did some math and realized it would be about a $250 box not including shipping... Sorry guys I just cannot justify that.

    Thats an average of $31.25 a bottle. Where do you shop at? I am shipping some pricey bottles but that average is crazy.

    Somebody must really like The Bruery... :slight_smile:

    I know personally I'm happy just to see a nice want or two, then some good beers. A box of 8 expensive wants like that would really be completely unnecessary IMO...

    Yes, the Bruery was indeed included in that list! ;-)

    There will be some wants included for sure! Hopefully my targets is a level headed and understanding as you are!

    My target is in another BIF I am in - I think I may flip up my growler since I have 3 from my trip. Too bad the one I wanted to send and was most excited about isn't a fav of his...

    My targets box will be >$250 in ebay prices...lol

    How about one more teaser

    Please rank these.

    BB Pt5th (last years)
    BA Blackout Stout (last years)
    BCBS'12
    BCBS'11
    BCBS'10
    BCBS'09
    BCBS'08
    KBS'12
    KBS'11

    Top three please. I dunno, maybe you have a hole in your vertical. It's also interesting to see how people rate these too.

    I'm currently in negotiations to obtain two of my targets wants. Hoping i can secure them before Nov 26th when i plan on shipping out. Thanks giving might throw a monkey wrench in that plan though. Still clueless on the growler part.

    To my sender, if you happen to have a 2008 Abyss or can obtain one easily and can spare it i would greatly appreciate it. I'm missing that one in my vertical. I was planning on putting that in my dear santa letter as i am also in the Secret Santa BIF but thought just maybe i can get one for Hanukkah :wink:

    Cheers

    Oh man... BCBS '09 is drinking like a champ right now. I'm curious how the pt5 is tasting right now...haven't had it since it was fresh.

    Bomber or 12oz?

    12 oz. Never had the 22 before. I participated in a BCS tasting last winter and had the 07-11 blind. The '09 was my favorite. Damn smooth. I'd never turn down a chance for BB pt5. That's a great beer.

    Got the bottles figured out and just have to decide on a growler. The first box (sending the growler separately) will be heading out a week from today to someone celebrating the holiday season in more than one BIF.
