    So @beermanben went and crushed my porch:

    A bunch of new tick extras and a few personal favorites. 9 pretty large format bottles for 6 days, with a bunch of different candies, including 2 of my all-time favorites. Can't wait to get this thing kicked off. Thanks Ben!!

    I’m going to attempt to not be a dinosaur and post images to this forum...that’s been around since before the dinosaurs...

    GREAT BOX from @Griff57 completely knocked it out of the park from what it looks like. Bottles and/or A and B cans and that’s before getting to the extras which would almost make an outstanding box on their own (OH, 450 North, Single Cut etc.):

    Few days late posting here, but what a box, wait.....I mean 2 boxes from @MunsonRoyE. Completely killed it on these crazy extras. Not to mention my kids have enough mac & cheese for who knows how long. Cant wait to dig into these wrapped beers on top of those extras. Cant say thank you enough, just an awesome box all around

    Love these Midwest hops! Can't wait to see what else I'm in for. Thank you again Dave!

    [​IMG] @hardysf dropped a massive bomb on me today. Day 1 alone has 3 cans including a #chugs. The extras look amazing as well. Thanks, @hardysf- I’m looking forward to getting this started on Saturday!

    While this isn’t a Halloween round BIF box, I need to post yet another unexpected and amazing porch bomb from @HeartofMiami, which arrived in early October. Jared is a master of finding great new ticks. This awesome box included the following Florida goodies: two 3 Sons, JWB, Civil Society, Cigar City anniv. stout, Odd Breed fruited sour and some out of state treats from Equilibrium, Bissell TIPA, Untitled/Cerebral collab, Garrison City plus Parrish’s Ghost in the Machine. Many thanks Jared, your ninja boxes are always damn delightful!

    For Halloween BIF, @Burrass slammed me with an insane quality/quantity combo. The extras are just nuts here; BDCS (long time want), 3 Veil cans, the Answer crowler + sweet glass, 2 HHB BA stouts and a Cowboy Dong, Celestial hops and a frickin’ Side Project Punchdown to boot. The wrapped beer line up looks like a serious volume treat, while the candies seem thoughtfully paired up, can’t wait to dig in. Many thanks Matt, really looking forward to this!

    Per usual, there have been a few bombs dropped on my porch that I have neglected to post, so without further ado...

    Way back in early September, @Greeny87 snuck this little love package onto my doorstep. Not just all new ticks, but new brewery ticks, #pgw, and cold brewed coffee. Thanks again Andrew!

    Then, almost like clockwork, ANOTHER ninja bomb from @locoformavs found its way to me a couple weeks later. More new Weldwerks (which isn't too hard to do), a big ass bottle from Black Project, and even some Taco Noche sauce from Weldwerks. It goes without saying you are one step shy from certifiable Logan :kissing_heart:

    That same day, I got together with @beermanben to kill a few (maybe too many) bottles. As I was getting ready to leave, he decided it was time to make room in his beer fridge and drop half of it in my cooler. Both new ticks and old ticks, for science purposes! Thanks again Ben!

    Then, as soon as October rolled around, @jonbonfondle let me know he had a crowler headed my way, as a thank you from a GPIUFMB box. I should have known better Jon had planned on sneaking a few extras in as well. Thanks again Juan!

    That same day, a box from @cpsfgd landed that I was not ready for. A couple weeks prior, Chris was on a trip and stopped at Treehouse and I was quick to ask for one of his Very Hazy as it has been a white whale for me, since Haze is one of my all time favorites and I have never been able to nail that one down. I told him to toss in whatever else he wanted... what I didn't expect was half of his damn haul from the brewery (and a couple others as well)! Completely unnecessary and extremely generous, all were thoroughly enjoyed. Your days are numbered Chris!

    Which finally brings me to this BIF round box from @winehead247 . I was heading out the door last weekend and was greeted by the UPS man, and he didn't look too happy. I didn't have time to take inventory until a couple days later, and now I know why he looked disgruntled. It looks as though I have some work to do for the 6 days of Halloween, as most of the days are larger format bottles, and even a #chugs in there for good measure. Not only those, but some tasty extras, including a friggin 2013 BCBS! Thanks again Blake, can't wait to see what you have wrapped and waiting!

    @Elneenee dropped the Halloween goodies off in RVA! Love the swaggy sock covers for my 6 blind days. Additonal swag: Missing Mtn T-shirt, collapsible coffee/beer drinking vessel for release days, and the covering to the collapsible chair they left after their most recent RVA trip. Looks like a nice mix of cans and bottles + candy pairings for my blind days and also a #chugs beer. The extras: Missing Mtn: Pocketful of missiles, zwickel trickle, summit county collab. Masthead-Jui Jitsu on beach. Lil Beaver- Marshmallow Incident, Strawberry Wainbows. Thanks a bunch for the awesome box!
