    Glad to see everything made it intact. That smores isn't very smorey but one of the better GA hazy beers of late. Cheers!

    That is an excellent box @jhavs you never fail to send the absolute best beers. You broke my BIF cherry in a great way back in the day.

    So after reviewing today’s haul pics, then opening my boxes from @r0rschach I think this round may officially be turning towards insanity! Which is awesome!
    I had to hire some help to haul these boxes in and help me unpack all these brews.

    Lined them all up, extremely difficult to fit everything in one kill shot pic.

    Some close ups so you can make out this wide array! First two are crazy! Giant and stoneware?

    And then..,
    [​IMG]
    More still
    [​IMG]
    And some cans!
    [​IMG]
    More cans! Food and mystery can too!

    Now for some swag

    Forgot to mention in my previous post:

    The packages that have hit today look out of this world. Everyone has just knocked it out of the park.

    It really moves me.

    You are all amazing.

    Cheers, sir! Box #2 should be landing tomorrow!

    And given the wild bombardment going on all over this BIF... I think it may have inspired a box #3. Gotta stay competitive. :grin: Enjoy!

    Business box arrives Saturday hopefully. It still hasn't left post office and I'm getting nervous

    That's beyond expectation. I'm a man of peace. But when provoked I strike back.

    I had a new one from USPS this week.
    I dropped off a few boxes this week. New guy at the post office has been scanning them in as delivered instead of leaving so tracking shows the box was delivered the same day where i dropped it off. This didn't happen once. it has happened 5 times this week with stuff dropped off on three different days.
    So far everything has gotten where it is going on time, but I am completely unable to track it.
