    Don't know what's going on but FedEx still shows box hasn't landed.

    Hope everything arrives safely and I think I forgot to add some cans that I found in my office. If so I'll be sending another box. Nothing special just something I wanted you to try..
    Cheers!

    Opened up the first mystery beer from @andreizm.

    I can tell from the color, smell, taste, it's a BA barleywine. Now just need to figure out what it is. I can't think of very many that come in larger format bottles.

    Looks like @Homebrew thought I needed an extra project around the house because he smashed my porch......and a bottle in the process. I think the almighty was looking it out for me once I found this

    It was supposed to be a surprise beer. I dodged a bullet possibly. I will post more pr0n later.


    Everything else was perfect! I have no idea how that one bottle busted...all that extra bagging of everything else was great. No mess at all. The inner box soaked up all the juice! Thank you so much for this. Just wait and see you guys... O_O

    I'm just wondering why it still hasn't been delivered. Starting to get worried. You hush your pretty little mouth. It was 4 can beers that I also wanted to send out but I found some under my desk and can't remember if I sent or not.

    I don't mind being told what to do.

    IPA not thinking it's an IIPA. The bottle shape makes me think Pliny, but you're east coast so that makes no sense. It must be from Kent Falls since you sent me this awesome shirt.

    Sucks that one got broken, at least everything else made it. Enjoy pal, and by the way I gave fair warning to reinforce your porch

    Touchdown in CA ~45 min ago. Our FedEx drivers are slower than yours. Awesome box man, doing pics and write-up now!

    UPDATED: FedEx guy broke his back carrying your box to the doors and fell in the bushes for few hours until we found him, hence this late delivery

    Ha ha nice. As far as the challenge beers bigger bottle is a non local to me or you want of yours. The smaller one is local to here and left bottle cap exposed as to not excite you on a possible jk bottle. Hope you like. Really wanted to get you an atrial but work didn't allow it.

    Pr0n time of the awesome box from @JoeyIce3. FedEx guy back home with a herniated disc:
    [​IMG]
    Texas Ale Project 100mm Angels Singing - new brewery to me, 9.2% DIPA, bring it on
    Real Ale Brewing Gose - diggin' the style lately and tried all varieties around here so this is awesome
    Saint Arnold Art Car IPA - word is this beer is juicy, looking forward to this
    Oasis Texas Brewing Meta Modern Session IPA, new brewery to me, citra & mosaic
    Martin House The Salty Lady - another shot at a new gose plus a great name
    Live Oak HefeWeizen x2 - long time want, very excited to finally try and get 2 cans!

    [​IMG]
    Lakewood glassware - this is by far the most happening glass I have now, dig the art
    Lakewood Mole Temptress - milk stout with chili peppers and cinnamon, which I like and with proper glassware
    Deep Ellum Wealth and Taste - BA golden strong ale monster at 9.5%
    Boulevard Saison Brett - big want, and a world class beer that has eluded me for a while
    Lone Pint Yellow Rose - one of my oldest and biggest wants, extremely excited to finally have a chance to try it!
    Oddwood Ales Saison - relatively recent Texas brewery and a new tick

    [​IMG]
    2 mystery beers, bigger format, to be revealed & VBS'd later.
    Temptress glassware again because it's proper for:
    Lakewood Temptress - baseline milk stout of the Mole version in the prior pic
    Funkwerks Tropic King - tropical saison, sounds fun/unique for the style

    Family shot:
    [​IMG]

    My 5 year old was watching me unpack with interest then summarized: "wow, that is a lot of beer!". Indeed it is. Many thanks for this excellent box and all the ticks and wants! Great variety of Texas beers (10 different TX breweries plus one mystery per your hint), you have done your state proud @JoeyIce3!

    Nice!! Expect a 2nd box as I see I did leave those out. You'll see why when you receive them. 4 pk sounds weird so expect another 2:grinning:

    Damn! Nice box @narddawg314! I wish Trillium had started canning when I was there last month, missed it by a few weeks. I would've come back with a lot more!

    So we're about 2 weeks out from the end of the shipping window. So make final preparations and get those boxes out.

    I know I'm guilty of dragging this round but the good thing is I've been able to keep collecting beer for my target.
