    I haven't tried any of these beers. I gave my Founders to a buddy that I've nicknamed bastard about 2 weeks ago, So happy it is back!

    Shorts Brews
    Lil' Wheezy heavily hopped Amber lager - what a combo!
    Evil Urges Belgian strong ale brewed with candi sugar
    Quasar Dank heavily hopped rye ale: again, anything heavily hopped sounds great!
    Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster Belgian style ipa - great label, grew up playing asteroids

    Others
    Oddside Ales: Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Maya Mocha - we need more of these small bottle formats in California. No hesitation to open this baby up.

    Founders Backwoods Bastard - woo hoo! It came back!

    Thank you! What a great surprise to receive MI locals!

    I was out shopping for beer earlier today, my fridge needed restocking, perfect timing.

    I surely hope it's heading to Kentucky. How was the ZD? Did it hold up well after its trip to Florida?

    It lost some carbonation but the taste and aroma were spot on. Cheers

    Is that a good "oh my god" or a bad "oh my god"?

    VBS - Awesome IPA, that is local. I was about to say "awesome local IPA" but I didn't want there to be any confusion whether I meant "awesome for a local" or just straight up "awesome"; this is the latter. Same offer as for Bean Dream if anyone wants to try it out.

    I'm glad you guys like the idea :slight_smile: I figure you can never have too many "traveling boxes"... I'll try to get it out soon, but it will depend on my ability to get to a specific bottle shop that happens to have a great selection of NOT old-as-dirt cans in their mix-a-six cooler, i just did a can-specific BIF and leaned heavily upon them for it. I also just completed a trade that is landing me some cans, so I expect to include one of each of those as well. And unlike the Sixterhood, which is a defined total quantity, this box WILL have room for extras and/or swag.

    Sadly enough I was just in Boston 2 months ago or so for a wedding. Had time to get in to Trillium, try Congress Street, and pick up some bottles of Lineage Wheat/Rye but no time to try out Jack's Abby. A shame, I know.
