    I am grand master, OK just two scrum teams. I don't follow it exactly, tool rigid for me. Daily standups only at the beginning. Now, the team runs well on just a scrum and occasional meeting. Anyway, why are we talking about this instead beer?

    I live in Northwest Indiana or Id meet up but that is also the weekend I leave for my honeymoon so Id be out anyways. If you make it to Northwest Indiana Three Floyds (of course but I personally dont like them due to their attitude) 18th Street of course as well and I would highly recommend Four Fathers its newer but give them a few years and they will be big I bet.

    DAMN!!!

    that is all

    OK -- the Sixterhood (actually Seventerhood in this case) from @JNForsyth has landed, and we've got:

    [​IMG]

    Community BA Legion - I like RIS's, had regular Legion recently and really liked it, and I'm sure I'll love the BA version (and it was a want)

    Thirsty Dog Wulver - I'm not alway a big fan of Scotch Ales, but I definitely enjoy good ones (like Backwoods Bastard). And based on the ridiculous ratings, this one qualifies!

    Hoppin' Frog Barrel Aged B.O.R.I.S. Imperial Oatmeal Stout - I like IOS's (is that a real acronym?), and like regular B.O.R.I.S., so I'm sure this will be awesome -- another want

    Heavy Seas Blackbeard's Breakfast Porter - I actually have one of these cellared -- last weekend I asked my "buddy" at the local bottle shop for recommendations, and he suggested this. I obviously think it sounds interesting. But it's always possible one of these will be forwarded (or at least shared).

    Almanac Valley of the Hearts Delight - I usually like Almanac sours, this one's apricot !?!? - I have a feeling this may be gone by the end of the weekend (probably shared).

    Union Craft Double Duckpin - this was a HUGE want - I'm still an IPA lover at heart, and somehow never tried this -- it's in the fridge, and will probably be consumed as soon as I get home tomorrow.

    Union Craft Old Pro - another one that's already in the fridge - it's apparently finally turned to summer, which is definitely Gose weather.

    Thanks a ton Jeremy -- nice job hitting wants and a really impressive variety of styles!

    That BA Legion is vastly underrated IMO...

    Great box in both substance and variety!

    Glad you like it, sorry about the Blackbeard, feel free to pass it on or share it. Went to the store 30 minutes with something specific in mind ( a solid local DIPA do nothing crazy) and all their stuff was pulle off the shelves in York County apparently. Had to make a quick substitution and I saw you haven't had that one yet, sorry!

    No need to apologize -- if I hadn't stumbled across it last week, I would be thrilled with it. But worst case I BIF it... you sent a seriously awesome box overall.

    #VCS. While this is admittedly a little older of a can, I still assume I'm getting a somewhat accurate depiction of this beer (considering I'm guessing the grapefruit is the focus -- and not the IPA part). I think it's ok, a bit overrated, but not bad by any means. I had a sip of a friends pour a month or so ago but didn't check it in/make judgement since it was literally a sip and wanted to wait for a bigger pour, and I thought pretty much the same thing then
