    Um when we get our target? After we get the box?

    Yes, the list is in the box! Make sure it makes it BACK in the box! Once you receive the box cross your name out so there is no double shipping!

    Well that was fast. The box hit my doorstep this afternoon.

    My take:

    Cooperstown Brewing Company Strike Out Stout
    Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold
    Smuttynose Bottle Opener
    Victory Brewing Headwaters Pale Ale T-Shirt

    (Pictures to follow this afternoon)

    Big thanks to Cuzco for the hookup and getting the ball rolling. Looking forward to finally trying something from the famed Captain Lawrence. I'll be picking up the beer this afternoon and the box should be shipped out on Saturday at the latest.

    Hint 1: My target lives approximately 150 miles from where I was born.

    Hint 2: My target lives in a town with a record high of 92 degrees. I'm actually jealous of this fact.

    Just a random addendum: 4 of the beers I provided were bottled on 6/27 with a street date of 6/29. Fresh as fresh can be from one of those NE breweries you should know about, but probably don't. Also, said brewery is a whopping 18 mi. from my apartment. Local and fresh!

    No clue where this one is going, but the brewery you've hinted at sounds AMAZING... Whoever is getting this one is lucky!

    Box is on the truck for delivery. Good thing it's a high of 72 for my target.

    The box has landed. Some hoppy goodness is waiting at someone's front door...and I'm pretty sure he knows who he is.

    Got some great looking stuff in here :slight_smile:

    2x Cooperstown Brewing Company Strike Out Stout
    2x Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold
    2x Jack's Abby Hoponius Union
    2x Jack's Abby Jabby Brau
    1x Maine Beer Company Peeper Ale (Extra)
    1x Maine Beer Company Glass (Sooo comfortable in my hand!!)

    A solid haul! I will post a photo when I get back from work tomorrow! Additionally, I should be ready to ship out Thursday.

    1st hint: I was able to collect hundreds of shark teeth on the beach one year when I traveled to this state soon after hurricane season.

    Glad to see everything made it. I love that Maine Beer Co. glass. It's bigger than it looks too, which is always nice. Enjoy that Hoponius as it's only 2 weeks old and mighty tasty.

    The way that thing was wrapped, could've survived a Michael Bay movie! And I am very excited, I enjoy green beer. I think one fresh and one a couple weeks to a month from now, see how it evolves. Unless of course it is too good fresh :wink:
