    My box arrived this morning.

    Ballast Point - Stemmed Tulip
    GI BCBS
    Pliny the Elder (Never had it before)
    Black Butte XXIV
    The Abyss 2012 (Want)
    BA BORIS Hopping Frog (Want)
    Kern Brewing Citra

    The bottle of Victory at Sea by Ballast Point was crushed giving my box the sweet smell of delicious beer, and shattered dreams.

    BTW, did the other "exits" and the Yards make it through alive? I think there were at least 3 other bottles in this batch. Thx.

    The batch i recieved was at 198oz ....... If there were any "extras " say like 4- Troegs/Exit's 12oz er's i am sure they would have made it safe and sound. :wink:

    Weird... I wrapped an exit 4 and an exit 16. Time to contact the detectives.

    I went through the entire house. They aren't here. There was also a bottle of Yards Poor Richard's in the box.. The total oz was ~240ish. Fed Ex tampering?

    I think quotation marks and a winky face may be clues to this mystery.

    with extras like that you also could have added a Troegenator Double Bock :wink: i will frisk the UPS guy next time he delivers because i know none of us would exceed the 200oz limit if they wanted to triumph in the BIF. just sayin

    LOL Forgot about the Troegenator. Got me. :flushed:
    Guess this is where the "Noob" in "One for the Noobs" comes in to play.

    Seriously, the bottle broke but the tulip survived? Bloody hell. Ill get that rectified for you. I thought I threw a note in there, but apparently not.
    I'm glad you updated your wants, because I was sort of at a loss what to send you. :slight_smile:

    Yeah, I was totally surprised that the tulip survived and the bottle didn't. Hit a ton of wants. Thanks a ton man!
