    Heads up @BigRedDog , got a 19lb. box of local goodness heading your way, I'll message you a tracking # shortly.

    Box contains 8 beers (7 individual, one is so good I sent 2) with an average BA rating of 93 (4.20) and two pieces of swag.

    Good work @gopens44 ! @Homebrew , I hope you enjoy them!

    Just checked Fedex again, my box to @strohme2 shows on the truck for delivery. I think I'm almost as excited as I hope he is! BTW, if you can't read the handwriting on the masking tape, let me know, and I'll tell you what it says.

    Is it Italian? Is it French? No, it's made in China. What could it be??

    How about 200 ozs. of of American made happy juice.

    No offense to all the fine work by you other generous BAs, but it looks like @Homebrew has taken the lead. The howler, the 3 big bottles, and a t shirt would have been plenty. But no. He just casually throws in 5 more bottles, 2 more cans, and a snifter. There are so many I am excited to try that I don't know where to start, but having some left for next weeks NBS doesn't look to be an issue. This guy has taken my self control issue out of the equation. Thanks again man. Cheers all!

    Just woke up to a GIANT box on my kitchen table from @beertunes !! The Fed Ex man threw out his back carrying it up to the porch. Actually I think its more tape than cardboard box!

    I did not see any writing on tape. I'm in the process of opening as we speak. Stay tuned, I'm exite!!

    As I mentioned above, that's the same box that @Shroud0fdoom sent to me. The inner box is the same, as is a lot of Shrouds newspapers he used for cushioning. I don't how many times that box has been used, including it's original task of shipping hose, but it has served well, and is deserving of it's future reward of being recycled.:stuck_out_tongue:

    And, wait until you see what comes out of it, it'll be like a clown car!

    Awesome job @beertunes !!! All of these boxes so far there's been at least one beer I've heard of that makes me go :grimacing: along with a bunch of awesomeness I've never heard of. This, however does not contain any of those bottles and that's impressive to me. To be able to come up with a large box of beer that probably doesn't have a single thing that most of us east coasters have heard of is great, kudos to you my man.....now about that Troegs stuff we talked about before.......:wink:

    Well, ya said ya liked stickers! Whenever I go to a beer fest, brewers night, or some such event, I always grab some extra stickers, coasters, swag of whatever types they have, and I have a box full of the stuff. Plus, I'm happy you were able to read the Sharpie on Tape on those mini-growlers. I figured you probably got a couple buddies, so I sent the whole sixer of Bastard Kat so you can share. BTW, in an above post I mentioned how I didn't quite grasp the whole oz limits. Clearly. There's 307oz of beer there! Enjoy!, See ya on NBS!

    Every drop of that beer is from Bellingham (well, technically, Menace's brewery is in Ferndale, but they run a bar (The Local) in town, and are looking to move the brewery into Bham), and, because I was so far over the limit, he didn't get anything from Aslan or North Fork. Fourth Corner represents!!!

    Yeah, buddy! Great job, @Homebrew! Also of note: there is precisely zero in common between Homebrew's sent box and mine, despite living about 30 minutes away. :grimacing:
