    Really excited to try everything here. All new beers and lot's of new breweries.

    A few of these bottles could have easily been a wrapped bottle. I'll be getting into some of these soon. Looking forward to seeing that last bottle in a few weeks.
    Thanks for everything Graham.

    Well, @JBowenGeorgia put a hurting on my porch with a bunch of great stuff:

    [​IMG]

    Pretty sure everything is a new tick, including a bunch from Creature (one of my favorite breweries), and 2 of the coolest swag items ever. The little guy is a Creature beer soap and the shirt gives me a chance to sport one of my favorite beers. Thanks for everything John, can't wait to dig into this box!

    @Griff57 Helped make my conference call on Tuesday way more interesting with this incredible box! This is too awesome! New brewery ticks from Mortalis and resurgence as well as some favorites and new delicious sounding beers from Tree House, Other Half, and Trillium. Mortalis Glass is really cool. It’s gonna be tough waiting until Christmas to see what’s in the bag! Thank you so much @Griff57!

    I made a serious error in ruling @Burrass out as my sender. Crossed him off my list after the first clue which I must have misread! Anyway, he thumped me yesterday with an eclectic mix of barrels, fruits, hops and jooooossssee !
    [​IMG]
    like the cans, bottles are all new ticks which is perfect! [​IMG]
    Family shot including one of those cool Answer glasses that people go crazy for, how awesome! Cheers Newbies and Thanks again @Burrass

    I believe my target, who may or may not receive beer tomorrow, actually knows who they are even though there has been no call out.

    See the previous hint, buttercup!

    All of the music in the background from those #chugs are from bands originating from Colorado :wink:

    So who's coming over to help me drink? @LarkinW thought I was low on beer (I'm not), and sent me a ginormous selection of White Elm, Kross Strain, along with a few others (casual Boiler)! Oh, and some #pgw and a #vials of Weller 12 since notes were taken. I can't wait to see what lies beneath that wrapping paper, if I can see what isn't wrapped! Thanks Larkin!
