    Hey target. The box is supposed to be delivered today but it's still listed as being at the sorting facility. Hopefully it actually shows up.

    I have today off and am waiting for the post office to open now...

    I didn't notice that the Portages was a BA until after I posted - have had the non-BA which was quite good. Looking forward to working my way through the full box! Thanks again

    So glad that made it. Happy Boxing Day. Hope you enjoy that coffee. My favourite local roaster, they roast 5 blocks away from me. Worka Sekero has a really nice tartness to it and it was roasted less than 2 weeks ago. Glad I could nail some wants!

    I thought the birds on the coffee art, as well as the record player for your occupation, would be fitting as well.

    I'm not sure if that Persephone is bottle dated but it's ~3 weeks old, would probably get into that and the Sartori first. Had a Sartori last night and it's drinking amazingly. Better than fresh, TBH.

    Just realized the Imperial Porter was Bourbon Barrel Aged.
    It has a date from 2003 on it but also says 10 year Anniversary so I assume it's 2013?

    It was released late 2013/early 2014, I can't quite remember exactly when.

    Skipped out of work early. No sooner than I arrive at home does the buzzer ring and a haggard looking postal worker hand me a 12 bottle shipper. "Looks like someone sent you a Kitchenaid mixer" he says. "How'd you guess?" I respond.

    Thank you @Boozecamel for a phenomenal box. 13 beers that are wholly new to me. Everything either a want, or a should-be-want!

    Anderson Valley The Kimmie, The Yink and The Holy Gose Ale (Just in time for the end of second summer!)
    Dogfish Head Immort Ale (Awesome)
    Firestone 2014 Stickee Monkey Central Coast Quad (You have to be kidding me!)
    Driftwood Naughty Hildegard ESB (Been wanting to try Driftwood for some time now)
    Driftwood Belle Royale Sour Cherry Wild Ale (See above!)
    Deschutes 2013 The Abyss (!!!)
    Hair of the Dog Adam Hearty Old World Ale (!!!)
    Lighthouse Numbskull IIPA (Sounds interesting)
    Driftwood Sartori Harvest IPA (Stoked!)
    Persephone Double IPA (Ditto!)
    Central City Red Racer IIPA (Love the IPA, can't wait to try this one)
    Elysian Dayglow IPA (Awesome)
    Lagunitas Imperial Red Ale (Love all the Lagunitas I've tried to date).

    Again, thanks boozecamel. You certainly went above and beyond and have made a fellow BA very, very happy. Cheers!
