    Box is shipped to an area largely underrepresented in the recent election. Should get there Thursday... maybe Friday.

    Oops. I moved recently, and I'm still pretending I hadn't. I live in DC.

    I will be shipping tomorrow if not later today. I don't think my target has chimed in with any clues to where they might be shipping...

    WOW, looks like there are going to be some big hauls landing this week.... judging by the tracking #'s I've received so far. And here I though I was already putting together a large box.

    Boxes dropped and are heading to a city that today is a few degrees warmer than my city.

    Some hauls should start showing up today.

    Don't be this guy trying to go get even more.

    They're both from uncle billy's brew and que. The bar lamar is Tres Hombres Trippel and the whole foods is Hop Sticky. They always put out pretty consistent brews. It was the last week for them to have the 2 head brewers. They are moving on to open up their own place. Think it will be called Austin Beer Gardens.

    Yeah man, I'm paranoid so I ziplock everything. Should be right at 450oz for you

    oh, I do too, hence the trip to the store this weekend for more ziplocks that I no longer have to make.

    I'm hitting some trouble with the local glassware. If I can't land it tonight, I'll throw an extra bottle of beer in its space in the shipper and send the glass along in a little while. Early apologies to my target if that ends up happening.

    Way to start things off.

    On a separate note, I just got home from dropping off my box. It's heading to a state that is larger then mine and to someone that has already shipped in this BIF.

    Be sure to lift with your knees when it arrives.

    I mentioned to Duceswild that it would be cool to get a target that likes sours so I think I kinda get you by request. A bit of an oh shit moment when I see that my target has over 1400 unique beers ticked on untappd. I was still able to come up with stuff that you haven't had and I'm pretty sure you'll thoroughly enjoy. The Boxers is the 2nd bottling and has a bit better carbonation. Das isn't really full on sour, more of a table/session beer. They will be coming out with a stronger version of Das here pretty soon though.

    I used to party a lot with no alcohol so I really did start out with Zima(I know that's fucking horrible). Went from zima straight to guinness. Then I started finding others like Fat Tire. Having to send gateway brews made me think back and realize I've gone through so many different phases to get to be the well rounded drinker I am now. At least I didn't send the zima or any cheap whiskey :grinning:

    Fedex says boxes have landed. Hurry up and jump on the (I'm guessing) orange or blue line - get home - and open em up!

    Currently wrapping and wrapping and wrapping bottles. These boxes should be on their way tomorrow afternoon. Sorry for shipping at the end of the deadline. I promise to make it up to you by burying you in beer.
