    Well, not really. My wife doesn't like IPAs, so those are all me - and I don't normally split the lagers, either. So really I'm just splitting the stouts, and even then, if I'm buying them, I buy enough that I don't need to split them - I'm really just splitting BIF/LIF stouts. :grinning:

    The eagle has landed!

    Although I'm out of state for the work week, my partner has confirmed that a box from my official sender, @beergoot , has arrived safe and sound. She assures me it is a large box.

    Pictures this weekend. For now, it's safe in the garage, which is still pretty cool (and I don't want her to have to lug it into the basement).

    Hell yes!

    Haha nothing of the sort, I’ve just gotten into a habit of of being SLACK! Plus Im a little too scatterbrained to focus on writing out notes, they don’t flow for me like some around here. That Fox Farm brown I did yesterday was sip, ponder, sip, type, sip, ponder some more, and so on… it was gone before I had finished even the few words I posted. Still, no excuses, practice practice… (darn) :stuck_out_tongue::stuck_out_tongue:

    I've been in Villanova most of the last two weeks and picked up a bunch of beer from Tired Hands (of which you've had a ton) and Conshohocken (which you hadn't). I realized after I had already sealed up your box that I completely forgot / ignored your style preferences (literally didn't take them into account at all....I just had extra beer that needed to go somewhere, and you were that somewhere). Anyway, the box was sealed and ready to go, and I was WAY too lazy to think about re-doing the whole thing.

    Even if they aren't in your style sweet spot...hey, it's still free beer! Hope you enjoy.

    I’m looking forward to trying each and every one of them. I just gotta decide which one to open for tomorrow night.

    Alriiighty then! My boxes came from @Roy_Hobbs . If you're playing the home game, 368oz of beer damaged a POBox in 98227. That PObox had a family!

    Tired Hands: Found a Scythe, Homespun Moon, Ourison, Static Image, and Extra Vanilla Milkshake IPA.

    Conshohocken: Backpack Beer, Ring The Bell, Life Coach, Puddlers Row, Philly Vice, and Alternating Currants.

    Berkshire: Shabadoo, Drayman's Porter, Easy Like.

    Hill Farmstead: Abner, and Everett.

    Pipeworks: Donut Soup.

    Foundation: Forge.

    Whetstone: Big Stoner.

    Fox Farm: Pip.

    Evil Twin: Bible Belt.

    Tree House: Very GGGreennn.

    Little Log Cabin: Mindfulness.

    That folks, is 23 cans. An (almost) overwhelming hit. Thanks so much Ross. I'm pretty sure those are all new brews, and there's a few new breweries as well.

    Thanks again!

    A literal Wall of Beer!

    Just getting warmed up. This will hopefully hold you over for a few days, and will be followed by plenty more beer. I hope the cans with some age on them (mostly the right side of the pic) aren't crap. I should have to pay a fine for not drinking that Abner fresh (don't look at the date, it's embarrassing). I know you're a dedicated ticker, so I took advantage of that fact to help me reduce the inventory a bit.

    I think the biggest 'chores' for me will be the Doughnut beer, and the Extra Vanilla Milkshake IPA. Everything else shouldn't be an issue. And, I've really liked the previous Fox Farm stuff I've had, so that will be no woories.

    Thanks again, this was an awesome shot!

    I have indeed been struck! No one knows how to pack a flat rate box like @BBThunderbolt!
    I was a bit worried since one of the corners of the box was clearly soaked and smelled like beer, but I honestly cannot figure out which can leaked, so we shall see ...
    [​IMG]
    That's right all of that in one box! Awesome selection of beers running the gamut. My favorites though were the ones with hand written notes:

    And the food items look amazing:

    Going to enjoy cooking with these.

    Thank you so much Terry!!

    For the record, seasoning's don't count as food. And, that Cannonball was the beer I had a couple weeks ago that wasn't very good, and I wondered on this thread if I should still send it. You were among those who encouraged me to do so.
