    Just ordered!

    Please keep these events going!

    If you do in person events, in the future, please consider a box to go alone with it. I get it there is nothing like in person events. Boston Belgian event was my favorite Advocate event ever.

    Thanks ---Todd

    Yeah. Persistency with selling these boxes (and IRL beer fest tickets) is key. Glad to hear that it works too! :laughing:

    Thanks for the support! :beers:

    Half time says the boxes will arrive late January but here it says will start shipping early January. Just wondering if there was an estimate now that we are in January. Not trying to be pushy just excited for it to arrive!

    I'm not a peanut fan and 1/3 of the box was peanut related. Very exciting though, looking forward to next edition

    How have these been selling? Hopefully pretty well so we keep getting more of these in the future.

    This price seems pretty high, $150 for 12 bottles. I can get Adroit Theory locally pretty cheap. Course if you are not local n want to pay twice the price go for it.

    - shipping is included

    - several are exclusive to this box and can't be found anywhere else

    - some of the others retail for over $10

    - it's a great way to support a site we have both used extensively for a long time

    Cheers!

    Yea like @DIM pointed out the logistics and shipping in putting a box like this together have to be substantial. Given the high ABV and exclusivity of these beers I thought it was fair. That being said, it's certainly not for everyone.

    Update: FLUX from Barclay Brewing was still being brewed when we dropped in the box at the last minute. Since then, Brian has made some changes to the beer.

    Here's the old description (11%):
    New description (13.8%): :astonished:
    This beer is exclusive to Extreme Beer Box: BIG STOUTS!
