    Looks like this may be from you. Works like a charm and even has a cap magnet so my fat old ass doesn't have to bend down to pick up the cap when drunk me drops it. Thanks!!!

    Yup - that's from me! I hear that is the best opener for chewing through waxed bottles - you'll have to let me know how it works! My Yopener is great, but for thicker wax it tends to fall short.

    Box 2 arrived yesterday. This gem is from @emptyglassagain

    [​IMG]

    Breakfast Exorcism (2015) - Clown Shoes (underrated brewery IMO and a new tick)
    Sunday Morning Stout (2016) - Weyerbacher (been wanting to try this for some time!)
    Capain's Daughter - Grey Sail (I do love a mosaic/citra IPA)
    Doppelganger and Sap - Tree House (Love this brewery and these are two new ones)
    Furth - Night Shift (liked everything I've had from these guys)
    Outside the Lines - Trillium/Omnipollo collab (sounds like a delicious beer. I saw the Omnipollo version yesterday in a local shop and I never buy their beers because I don't ever know what it is, but the label was very memorable. I'll have to go back to grab one and do a side-by-side, you know for science:grinning:

    Thanks for a killer box and for the great donation to the American Heart Association!

    Ok, so it's been 5-weeks after targets went out, and we're 4 days away the shipping deadline. Suffice to say that a good portion of the group isn't doing so great with getting boxes out.

    22 boxes have landed
    1 box is confirmed en route
    23 boxes not yet shipped

    Of those 23, there have been 7 people who have responded to the group PM's saying they'll be shipping this week or early next week.

    That leaves 16 of you who have some work to do. If life has gotten in the way, I completely understand. Please just respond to the group message with an update, and make sure you get those boxes out as soon as possible (pending weather, obviously).

    Thanks!

    Jealous sitting here in my office drinking sub par coffee. Just packed up a SMS (and a Sunday Mole Stout) for you. I'll grab a crowler or two at lunch to replace them, do you want the bottles anyways though?

    Is that a variant with peppers? Sounds delicious!

    Yeah it's the variant with no barrel aging but peppers added. I'll leave both in the box and add the two crowlers I got today to make up for it.

    Received an extremely nice box of beer and swag yesterday from @Gritch. I absolutely love the Cubs glasses and christened them last night with a buddy and some single malt. My wife thinks I'm on extended Christmas with all the cool swag stuff you guys have been sending, and now the stocking has me looking forward to breaking it in next Christmas.

    As to the beer again a really nice combo of great stuff I've had, 2015 BCBS and last years Dark Lord were very generous. All the other beers pictured are new local Indiana ticks for me and sound great, can't wait to sample them! Thanks again to @Gritch ffor a really great box, very much apprrciated.

    Box #7 from @SixPack6 is an awesome Midwest mix of brews from Surly, New Glarus, Stillmank, and Central Waters with some proper glassware to go with it. 4 I've never had and 6 I'm pumped to have. THANK YOU!!!!

    Can't thank @bigaltemple enough for the amazing box that arrived today! (Apologies for the low light photo as it doesn't do it justice.) The beer labels are thus hard to read here, and all are new to me with the exception of Big Bad Bsptist which is an old favorite. The four pack of cans are IPAlien from Odd 13 brewing, a new release that sounds very promising! The three sours are Mangozacca from Paradox, and Life's Trade and Cursed from TRVE. The other imperial stout is Chocolate River from Trinity, which also sounds great. Can't wait to try all these new beers, thank you so much!

    As to the Cubs polo shirt, once again the generosity BAs in these BIFs never cease to amaze me. Can't wait to hit the links sporting my Cubbie pride! Way over the top Al, I hope to repay you sometime soon in one of these BIFs very soon.

    Cheers!

    Got a couple boxes today.

    First a great box of cans from @DerrickW

    [​IMG]

    These are all new to me and mostly new breweries except Westbrook. Thanks for a great box of beers. Creature Comforts might become my favorite brewery after this box. Derrick donated to Get Comfortable which is a community-driven campaign started by the brewery. Great supporting local businesses that strive to help their community in more ways than just making great beer!

    Next up is from @kennyo

    Also all new beers to me, including my first crack at Mexican Cake.

    Thanks to both of you guys for two outstanding boxes!
