Christmas box landed today from @Graham19840. 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.
Can't wait to drink these new hops and ticks including a new top 250 for me. Only repeat was BC 2018 Wheatwine which I love!! Thanks so much to the misspelled Dustin, @corm44 !! Appreciate it sir!

Well, @JBowenGeorgia put a hurting on my porch with a bunch of great stuff: 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 ! like the cans, bottles are all new ticks which is perfect! Family shot including one of those cool Answer glasses that people go crazy for, how awesome! Cheers Newbies and Thanks again @Burrass
Obviously my target hasn't figured it out yet, or he'd be calling me out by now. Has anyone else caught on? Hint 12: 11/24/2020 Hint 13: 11/24/2020 Hint 14: 11/25/2020 Hint 15: 11/26/2020 Hint 16: 12/01/2020 Hint 17: 12/07/2020 Hint 18 12/09/2020 Hint 19: 12/10/2020 Hint 20: 12/14/2020 Hint 21: 12/16/2020 Hint 22: 12/16/2020
Hint 12: 11/24/2020 Hint 13: 11/24/2020 Hint 14: 11/25/2020 Hint 15: 11/26/2020 Hint 16: 12/01/2020 Hint 17: 12/07/2020 Hint 18 12/09/2020 Hint 19: 12/10/2020 Hint 20: 12/14/2020 Hint 21: 12/16/2020 Hint 22: 12/16/2020 Hint 23: The above hints are #chugs. You should pay attention to them.
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
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!
