    I don't see any package right now, but I'm back from vacation so hopefully Santy Claus drops off something soon!

    (No one be upset by this please, since I gave instructions earlier for my sender not to send until around Christmas) :slight_smile:

    A box will be visiting a porch tommorow in a state with a football team playing against an Ivy League team in a sunny state.

    Sorry for the delay, but here is the masterpiece that I received on Monday...

    Excuse the pink helmet on my head, as I had been sipping on a few homebrewed barrel-aged RIS beforehand. The sweater also took top honors at my local brewpub's trivia night for Ugliest Sweater, so mission accomplished in that department!

    Non-beer items:

    So sorry about the delay my friend. They said it would arrive this past monday, which of course was wrong. Monkeynaught is by Straight to Ale, and is a really good IPA. Cold mountain is a really good winter brew by Highland that is extremely popular and Gaelic is their staple. Sweetwater Festive Ale is delicious, as is their IPA. IPA is really full of citrus hops. Enjoy! Hope you like the moon pies as well. I believe that is every kind that they make, and they are made right by my house.

    I was just kidding about the Monkeynaught, I really enjoy receiving beers I've never heard of before. Also have heard good things about the Sweetwater IPA, so I can't wait to crack that one open. As far as the Moon Pies go, I freakin love them! Best snack ever!

    There's me competing with my grandfather (who has worn that sweater for 14 years in a row). All my cousins, my sister, grandparents, and nephew. I was up for 36 hours straight in this photo so pardon the scrub pants!
