    (Part 2)

    The cans:

    These pictures were like looking into a mirror to see a reflection of a mirror that has a reflection of a mirror that .... (kind of like islands in lakes in islands in lakes in .... ). It just. keeps. going.

    The totality:

    Or .... not really. Because that's box one (and I'm still not 100% sure I got everything out; that box is a damn portal to Narnia).

    I was thinking, "Hmmm, it seems strange that a California box contained basically no IPAs, especially given my predilection to the style." I wasn't annoyed or upset, because the box was magnificent; it was just an amusing thing to note.

    Cheezus. The hops have landed:

    And just in case the chocolate wasn't enough, how about some badass looking coffee?

    I'm not even opening that bag until I move; I want to celebrate our new house with it. :slight_smile:
    (Speaking of: we just finished a tour, and we're making an offer! This is exciting as shit!!!)

    Cassidy, I am absolutely blown away. I just mailed a 35 lb box (one of two), and the beers inside are blushing, because they know they're inadequate compared to this absolute stunner of a delivery. Unreal.

    It's insufficient, but nonetheless: thank you.

    Stunning hit. Amusing and satisfying to see that Slice Blinding Sunset get so much love in this BIF (at least three targets hit so far, I think). One of my favorite WCIPAs this year.

    I’ll be shipping tomorrow, so will be there Tues or Wed. It’s not a terribly long ship, and the weathers going to be good.

    My boxessss, are predominately one style, with a smattering or other things of course. But, like my targets state, NC is not famous for its stouts or porters or barleywines.

    @Xul, which of these were you referring to as the best WCIPA in production today?

    I was guessing you've probably had Swami's before, but it's kinda classic out there. Enjoy Bx #1...Bigger hit is being prepared.

    As always it just cements why I don’t use the draft forums, these BIF boxes are absolutely insane. I've traded for stuff I wanted like most have, but... these blind boxes are like Xmas.

    I’m starting a petition to make Burial famous for its Stouts. That can be a start.

    Crazy, crazy amount of beer hitting today based on all the above posts. This group definitely brought its "A" game to this BIF.

    I'm enjoying this Drekker beer courtesy of @Victory_Sabre1973 while I continue to watch a map of a UPS driver driving all around @FBarber neighborhood without actually delivering anything to him. Not exaggerating when I say that for the last two hours the truck has been within half a mile of his house, and at one point two streets over. The lesson, don't believe the "Your drive is arriving soon. Follow on a live map" emails from UPS

    My target has received boxes #1 & 2, #3 is still in the wind somewhere, and #4 is scheduled for a tomorrow drop. I was undecided on a potential box 5, as there were a couple that I forgot, but I'm doing some "research", and @FrankenMiller will be getting that 5th box, probably ship early in the week.
