    Here is the 3rd and final(?) shipment from Pimpinmidget. There were a few North Carolina beers that he hadn't already sent me. I think I have them all now.
    [​IMG]
    Mother Earth Windowpane Series Blackberries.
    Olde Hickory Seven Devils--aged in Bourbon Barrels, yum
    Olde Hickory Death by Hops--has replaced "quietly in my sleep" as preferred method of dying.
    Olde Hickory Irish Walker--I picked up one of these last year on vacation in Asheville-mini vertical coming up!
    Foothills Seeing Double IPA
    Green Man The Dweller Imperial Stout--first I had nothing from Green Man, now I have 2 different to try.
    Zach--you killed it with both quantity and quality, thanks.
    I've got some serious drinking to get started on.

    Thanks to Zbeetle & Benzo for destroying my back while haul them inside. I am not going to write WANT by any of these because even if I didn't know I wanted it, I should have.

    Let's start with Zbeetle's box
    [​IMG]

    I am not sure I really have to list any of these:
    • Lost Abbey Mayan Apocalypse Judgement Day
    • Russian River Consecration
    • Iron Fist Velvet Glove
    • Lost abbey Cuvee de Tomme
    [​IMG]
    onto some of those bigger bottles:
    • Hillcrest Perle Necklace
    • Cismontane Coulter
    • Alpine Bourbon Barrel Odin's Raven (!!!)
    • Aztec Cacao Choc. Porter
    Oh...he isn't done just yet
    [​IMG]
    • Boulevard Love Child #3
    • Firestone Parabola
    • Rough Draft Emboozlement Tripel
    • Aftershock Espresso Stout
    I am not sure how that was all in one box and I still have one more to open from DrBenzo. Speaking of which...let's dig into his:
    [​IMG]
    • Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
    • RR Pliny the Elder
    • Fifty Fifty Eclipse (!!!) I am not sure which one if anyone can help
    • AleSmith Speedway Stout
    [​IMG]
    The Alpine Trip:
    • Nelson
    • Pure Hoppiness
    • Duet
    [​IMG]
    • Lost Abbey Angel's Share
    • Almanac Biere de Chocolat
    • Lost Abbey Framboise de Amorosa
    and Yes...one more photo
    [​IMG]
    • Cascade Strawberry
    • Boulevard Saison Brett
    I am truly in awe by these boxes.
    Thanks a ton...I can't wait to dig in!

    This is going to be so hard. I was out the door going to work....on call at hospital tonight....so I have an unopened box from drbenzo sitting on my couch. Killing me knowing that I will have to wait until tomorrow morning to pop that bad boy open.

    Come on, I'm going to have to get estimated for a beer cellar addition.

    i was disappointed that the boxes did not have a minivan...but I fear I would have only traded it away for more beer

    I forgot to mention, in every box from Pimpin, there has been a box of chewy candy. Mike & Ikes, Hot Tamales, etc. I'm hooked on the Hot Tamales, bought two boxes since the one he sent. I'm eating them up like, well, like candy I suppose.

    You people are sick. Sick, sick, sick!

    Seriously, though: this looks like a tremendous haul.

    Haha. I hadn't had hot tamales in years, but I'm hooked again too thanks to pimpinmidget!!! My wife says another box arrived today. Can't believe the pimpinmidget has struck again.

    Oh really? I'll have to dig through the box. It's like a giant pool of surprises. The packaging is legit but with the shredded paper SWMBO and I had a good time fishing out bottles. I'll get and industrial size strainer or a bag to pull the stuff out and keep digging.
