    I can assure you the other bear is indeed awake. He does like to let his prey suffer for a bit though.

    You know, some time for them to reflect and regret their mistakes....

    So I also came home to a box...Mail came earlier today so when I saw in the thread that both of @bstoos boxes had landed, I didn't even think to check the tracking.

    An awesome array of beers, which are all new ticks, one doesn't even to appear to be on Beer Advocate which is pretty cool.

    • Thin Man Brewery Pills Mafia - A fun beer, since the Bills will always have a little of my heart since my now wife's favorite bar when she lived in Chicago was a Buffalo sports bar. So I've watched my share of Bills games there.
    • Buried Acorn Stash Hero - This starts the run of very interesting can art
    • Barrier Brewing None of Them Knew They Were Robots
    • War Horse Brewing Lieutenant Dan
    • Middle Ages Swallow Wit
    • The Napanee Dweller on the Threshold - This one is very interesting as it's a Red Wine Barrel-Aged Belgian Dubbel

    Thanks again for the awesome box and note. It was truly a surprise.

    So am I as I still haven't opened mine that's in the cellar. They're a pretty interesting brewery - located about 30 minutes west of Hamilton, ON in a real small warehouse. They have another one that's aged in white wine barrels but I only grabbed a couple of this one. They also sold all their 16 oz cans as singles at the store (granted, the liquor store around the corner did the same, which was great) and had an excellent black lager that I brought back, too.

    @bstoos nice job with those boxes. Glad you were able to find the Woodcock while you were in town!

    @bstoos great cocks shots! So many cocks boxes flying around, it’s hard to keep it all straight.

    So I finally got through everything and all the boxes that dropped while I was at work and I'm so glad I joined this. Every box in here looked so epic.

    Belated good job to anyone I missed earlier!

    *knock knock*

    Who dat be?



    My suspicions on high, I head to the door and find this innocent looking, but well used, little guy...



    Then I open it and it isn't innocent at all! @Oconomowocian put on a damn clinic covering how to cram beer into every square inch of that tiny box!!



    I had a suspicion that "not purple" dinosaur was headed my way even though I told him I had too much beer!! King Sue has been a want almost as long as I've been drinking craft beer. Notwithstanding the legendary reputation of the contents of that can, I also was all about dinos growing up and even went on a trip to Alberta, Canada looking for bones as a kid with my grandparents so this one hits on a lot of levels!

    Zombie Dust is also something I've never had but have heard so much about. I'm super stoked to try it and the other ones in this group!

    I'm blaming y'all for the alcoholism I'm inevitably going to slip into drinking all this amazing beer before I head back to work...

    But don't worry about me...this isn't over...and it will result in a net loss on my end... :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

    Fantasy Factory was one of the first beers I was excited to find when I started getting into craft beer a few years ago. Had that and the original PseduoSue bomber on a holiday trip.

    One of the regulars in the NW forum and his friends are the Seattle Beer Zoo. I stole the idea, we've got a Quokka, Worm, Crow, and Beaver.
