    A quick check of the shipping maps reminded me that if my box is to get there before Christmas, it needs to go out today. So it will! Headed east, to a town on a river.

    Also, my sweater might have to go out in a separate package in order for everything to make it there by Monday.

    Some call my city a town, which also resides on a river...three to be exact

    Two boxes have been picked up by FedEx and are headed west. Many visitors to my target's city visit a place that might lead you to believe you're going to see a UFC fight, but you would be wrong.

    My target's box was received this morning. Everything was intact. FedEx had me in a panic mode for no reason.

    6 bomber/750s and 4 cans are en route to a great lake state!

    Box is headed on its journey! It should land Monday just in time for the holiday!

    Hope this is me, but I won't be home for a few hours as I am enjoying Grand Rapids latest edition to beer at the re-opened Grand Rapids Brewing Company for my birthday. If its me at least I'll have some frosty brews to enjoy when I get home. :slight_smile:

    Happy birthday! If there is a box waiting for you, it's not from me. So go ahead and stay put and enjoy the company of your peeps.

    No box on my porch....should be one or two on my targets in a few days though. Pretty much every brew in the box is regional, minus one which is from WI. Sweater is awesome, I kind of want one myself, and the others are a local favorite made right here in Chattanooga, about a half of a mile from my house.

    Indeed someone did! I was totally blown away. Two huge boxes, with an incredible quantity and variety of beer, and a sweater that might take top honors for ugliest in this BIF. I'll post details and photos in a little bit. But for now, thanks for the amazing boxes!!!

    Thankfully said devastation happened and FedEx didn't put the ban hammer on my shipping privileges!

    To all of you that have not received there box(es) yet, do not fret as there is a box that was shipped yesterday. It is heading East to a state that borders a state that borders my state. This will be the last hint that I give.

    Merry Christmas

    Okay, here we go. First the pics:

    Next, the bottles. I'm a huge fan of saisons, and it's clear that match1112 picked up on that, as this box is loaded with them!
    Perennial Abraxas (just heard of this recently, and very excited about it!)
    Perennial Saison de Lis (saison #1)
    Stillwater Stateside Saison (want! saison #2)
    Goose Island Madame Rose (want! love the other two sisters, haven't had this one!)
    Goose Island BCBS x4 (can never have enough of this outstanding beer)
    Anchorage Love Buzz Saison (want! missed this when it came out, and excited to try it! saison #3)
    Destihl growler (contents? and look at that beautiful glass)
    Rolling Meadows Abe's Ale
    Rolling Meadows Lincoln's Lager
    Rolling Meadows Springfield Wheat
    Brouwerij West Saison Extra (saison #4)
    De Glazen Toren Saison D'Erpe-Mere (want! saison #5!!)

    Finally, the swag:
    An absolutely hideous sweater. Santa cats, presents, bells, tinsel, a bow, potholders, battery-powered Christmas lights, and an actual Christmas tree. Words cannot do it justice. Oh, and I just spotted DJ cat on the turntables. Wow.
    Destihl Saint Dekkera glass
    Beer Nuts gift box

    Thanks again for the amazing boxes. I am floored. I can only hope that my target is as happy with his box as I am with these.
