    I have a feeling I'm gonna need to go to Home Depot for porch repair supplies...

    (that being said, I've been wrong before! :slight_smile:)

    Oh man, that's a solid haul. Probably my favorite in the thread so far.

    I've got @sandman3479, @johncosta60, and @KevSal as the last three on my list.

    Glad you liked, and hope you enjoy each of those beers. Just curious have you already had any of those before?

    Because there was no maximum, and I have been feeling the Christmas spirit the past few weeks, I went a little above and beyond. 3.5 times the minimum (just stouts). The top 144oz of stouts have an average BA rating of 95. All stouts total average BA rating of 88.5. You will have something to drink every week of the year. There are 3 items that are Bourbon Barrel aged. 5 items that were released in the past 2 weeks. 2 WANTS fulfilled (would have liked to do more, but only have access to so much). Oh, a few items with Mikkeller on the label, so it must be good stuff... :sunglasses:

    There may or may not be a 3rd box, still waiting confirmation from the North Pole to see if Target is on the Good or Bad list. :astonished::grinning:

    Cheers!

    Damn! Speaking of Good and Bad list, Sounds like you've been so good to someone, your target may have to send a thank you box in your direction when this is all over. I don't want to speak for him or anything, but I might know the guy...

    I thought you shipped all of the beer out of NC last BIF.
    I guess they must have restocked.
