    I appreciate you being my wingman, but I'm pretty sure the last one is virtually impossible to find....

    So, after finishing off a couple stragglers I had laying about, I reached into @Mikexw 's ninja box for Sloop IPArk. While the aroma and taste were fine, this might be the ugliest brew I have yet to encounter. The beer was Babyshit Beige. Drank well enough though. Thanks again!

    Gentlemen - The mailman just struggled down my front steps with what is in the below photo. @SouthernSips and @Dragginballs76 what do you have to say for yourselves?



    More photos to come after I figure out what's actually in them.

    So looks like one of the boxes is scheduled to land today, the other now says tomorrow. Initially both were to land today so be on the lookout

    So the first box I unpacked is from @Dragginballs76 because he sent me a tracking number on Monday.



    Resident Culture - Industrial lipstick
    Edmunds Oast Brewing - Sour Blackberry Raspberry
    Angry Chair Brewing/Westbrook Brewing - Zoose Joose
    Westbrook Brewing - Gozu
    Westbrook Brewing - Ekuanot
    Burial/Bearded Iris - Dawn for the Departed
    Wicked Weed - Terra Merita

    Thank you so much, Mike. I look forward to trying all of these. I do believe we are even for the moment.

    The second box is from @SouthernSips.



    It contained the following:
    Southern Prohibition Brewing - Hex Clouds
    Chandleur Island Brewing - Guava Jelly Sour Ale
    NOLA Brewing - Bad Decision Lemur
    Mystery Beer
    And not 1, but 2 bottles of Lazy Magnolia - Stella Obscura

    After I opened it and saw the two Lazy Magnolia bottles, I knew exactly why I got this box. After James sent out his BIF box, I asked him if he had access to another of those bottles that he would be willing to trade since it is my daughter's name. He said he would check when he got back into town and I never followed up with him before I left on vacation. Needless to say, I was shocked and extremely humbled by this act of generosity. Thank you, Gary, for this box. You will definitely be getting hit back hard for this one.

    I worry more about the guys carrying the boxes than my packing especially after some posts I've seen on here

    Glad it made it, that was my first USPS box I have ever shipped and was a little worried.
