    I am. And you’ll get your recount.

    Both. I need a date to actually end the calculation. I thought Dec 1st was logical but could push it back if need be.

    Indeed it is.

    I will need a volunteer (not participating in the LIF) to check over my numbers. Just so there is no doubt in the accuracy of the results.

    Maybe @Mipper or @y2kawakami , assuming that they aren't messing with us, and actually helping to wreck porches.

    It looks like we learned first hand that everything really is bigger in Texas...

    No need for an apology my good man! That 1st box you sent damn near crushed me!

    It still brings a tear to my eye.....

    Received a couple boxes from FL thia morning. Bad news/good news, they both sustained damage and leaked through, but they shrink wrapped them and sent on. Will update when I sort through it.

    Well well well.. look what came in from Rhode Island yesterday. Courtesy of the incredible @tasterschoice62 ! Have seen lots of these beers on WBAYDN threads and have always been jealous of the NE beer scene. Looks like I got my own slice of it down here in Texas! One rogue soldier lost his life on the journey here.. guess I’ll just have to choose one of my other 18 options!

    I am always amazed by the generosity of everyone on BA. Been blown away with every trade.

    See all you little shits Sunday for NBS!

    Good old USPS...still get the packages where they are aimed. Not like those FedEx jerks stealing beers and shipping back to sender!

    Got some good Texas loot right there! That Martin House Kokytus May be the biggest sleeper in that box.. blew me away.
    As for the Turning Point.. one of Texas’ best new breweries this year. Incredible NEIPAs.. my new favorite brewery here.

    Very nice @Blackop555 - great job of hitting new ticks. Great selection of beers there!

    Fantastic box! This is amazing. Fen Tao is probably my new #1 sour (if not, it's top 3) - it is a life-changing experience. Drink it fresh, Brian, don't wait on it. Per a friend in Austin (my Jester King hook-up), the fruit tends to fall off and it becomes just a straight-up sour with age. Enjoy it while the peaches are in full force!

    Also, I love that glass!

    Amazing box @r0rschach - tremendously generous and well thought out!

    I just told @FFFjunkie about Arclight and their Soursmith stuff. It’s truly incredible. Their Black Raspberry sour may be the best American sour I have ever had. And that is not lightly stated.

    I’m surprised I haven’t seen any slung about in this madness.

    LBO......

    I've tried to trade some Hill Farmstead for Arclight sours a few times, have not had any luck making a deal.

    Damn those are mine. I packed them up pretty tight and have never had problems with usps before. Any broken bottles will be replaced. First time any of my boxes have ever sustained any damage so I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later
