    Truly sorry for the delay. I recently opened a bottle shop/taproom and it has been overwhelmingly busy. But that's a good thing. I hope everything was up to the standards set in this group. I wish I could of participated more but I overestimated my ability in balancing two jobs, three kids, and a wife. Things are finally mellowing out and appreciate everyones patience.

    On a side note down the line if your looking for anything from the Chicago region I'm open to send stuff money for money trade. Anything unique I can open in my shop goes a long way.

    That’s awesome, congrats man! Looked like you killed it with your box. What area is your bottle shop in it you don’t mind me asking? I’m not all that familiar with the area but I have family stretching from the NW suburbs to downtown Chicago.

    I lied (as life intervened a bit), but met the shipping deadline and got it out today. Sorry for the delay to my recipient.

    Did everyone make it by the shipping deadline (today)? No need to call out usernames or anything, just wondering how many we’re waiting on still. I haven’t been counting boxes

    I'm just stalking, but I'm pretty sure there are still 5 boxes that haven't had pics posted and delivery confirmed by their target. But I haven't been paying attention to when boxes were shipped, so hopefully all (or most) of the others are en route.

    I agree. I really enjoyed the BIF and will probably definitely be in next round.

    I shipped my box on Thursday and it is scheduled to land on Wednesday.

    My Target is in a different time zone, so it was "this afternoon " for him.

    Damn. I was really hoping there was a time machine owner in this group :neutral_face:

    I didn't say I don't own a time machine

    And it's potentially right here in jersey! I'd trade some brews for a spin in the machine

    Those Old Nation Cans are A+++, enjoy them!!! Can't tell you anything about the others, but the gummy cans look sick, hopefully they taste it too =)

    The Gummy cans I've had have been great. It's been a while since I've had one, though, and have heard they have the removable tops?

    If they didn't would you have to shotgun them?

    Ha I meant to say "fully" removable. Like the whole top comes off instead of just the little tab.
