March Madness 2021

Thanks for running this. Cannot believe I was so close to the top, but i guess everyone got screwed with the crazy upsets in the first two rounds!

 

I am cool with this if it helps for everything to be worked out.

 

Looks like @jts211 draws first blood this year. A nice box full of dark high ABV goodness and a high abv DIPA to cleanse the palate. Cheers and thanks for replenishing my kayaking beer stash!

 

You bet! Have fun Kayaking. I'd be asleep after some of those, LOL

PS...I'm an old man,

 

Got my first box today courtesy of @cp45 . No pic cuz I suck. I got a box full of all Kane!

BA Morning Bell
a night to end all dawns
Sunday Brunch
Mexican Dessert
1825---Fifth Anniversary Ale from Sept. 2016!

I'm a little nervous about the cinnamon and chilies and coconut but the quality is making me look forward to them all. Thanks for the fantastic box!

 

The Mexican Brunch is solid not overly sweet with a nice spice per request haha

 

Had this yesterday during a late brunch and the Masters. Really good stuff!

 

2 New Breweries to me and a couple Tired Hands IPAs! Thanks for the box @William_Navidson Gonna save the coffee stout for Saturday mornings first beer on the Golf Course!

#2 from @gonya

Highland Park Malgo Pils and Competition IPA
Aslin Stating The Obvious Vienna Lager
Duclaw Sweet Baby Jesus
Boneyard Hop Venom

Looking forward to trying Highland Park; love viennas; haven't had SBJ in about 10 years and Hop Venom sounds amazing!

Thanks for this great variety!

 

@SP23 hit me with the sweet Cali box above and @Slack slapped my porch with a nice mix of VA/NE beers below.

That wraps it up for the 2nd place boxes. Super pleased with everyone’s thoughtful selections based on my style preferences! Almost everything is a new to me beer. Thanks for the invite again this year!
Cheers!
Josh
