    According to fedex tracking, my target should get their package tomorrow...but it hasn't been checked in to the local fedex so I dunno where it's at - just that its not in GA anymore. =P

    Another 1 has landed from @beeersis81, Contents exceed my approval:

    MoaS (big want, never tried)
    2011 Parabola (want)
    Pipeworks Close Encounter (thanks for the Pipeworks Brews!)
    Pipeworks Ninja vs Unicorn (the name alone intrigues me)
    Bell's Batch 9k (want)
    New Glarus DIPa

    *From what I read, Growler and Swag are still to come...can't wait! Thanks Again.

    Glad everything made it! Growler should land tomorrow. I realize I forgot to identify it, but I will wait until it lands to keep some of the mystery. I will send you a BM about the swag, but it too will be heading your way soon. Enjoy!

    Sweet...I have my brewing partner coming over tomorrow, so hopefully we can drink that up (whatever it is) - any hints?

    Only that drinking it sooner rather than later is a great idea :slight_smile:

    @beersis81 - Let me just say, that I called my buddy last night and told him we'd be getting a growler from the Chicago area, and I said I hoped it was from Haymarket...I specifically hoped it was the Mathias. I have no idea what this beer is yet, but if it is indeed Mathias, you are a crazy mind reader and awesome BA.

    Well, I guess I have a hidden talent, because it is in fact Mathias. Enjoy!

    Came home to box tonight from Florida9! Definitely a big surprise, wasn't expecting it at all.

    The haul:
    -64oz growler of Revolution Eugene Porter (never heard of this, looking forward to trying it!)
    -FFF Alpha King x2
    -FFF Robert the Bruce x2
    -FFF Gumballhead
    -FFF Zombiedust
    -22oz BCBCS (big want)
    -Pipeworks Ninja vs. Unicorn
    -Pipeworks Jones Dog
    -I'm guessing the IPA and DIPA are homebrews? I might be wrong, the labels look good =P. If they are homebrews I look forward to trying them! I brew myself and always love trying other people's recipes. (correct me if I'm wrong about them being homebrews)
    -Oh, and a chocolate bar - haha.

    I have never tried FFF so I look forward to trying all of them, they are all major wants!

    Thanks for the great box!

    Yeah, they're both home-brews. The IPA is actually more of an APA (I had horribly efficiency), but the label was already made. It's dry-hopped with Citra which really comes through nice no the nose. The dIPA is a borderline Double IPA (8% ABV) dry-hopped with a New Zealand hop called Mouteka. I think it's a technically proficient beer, but, in my opinion, it's under-hopped and lacks a specific character.

    Enjoy!

    My target, who I have shipped to before and whom I have met will be getting a box on weds. Box has a whole bunch of wants and limited goodies.

    My target doesnt have a Domo orgy in their avatar.

    Got my haul from ReTag yesterday at DLD. I was very generously offered my choice of a second growler or additional bottles/cans, and I went with the growler. Here's the haul:

    Growler Town Hall Masala Mama (love this beer, always a want)
    Growler Town Hall Black H2O
    Sweet Water Happy Ending (want)
    Jackie O's Baklava Braggot (want)

    The Masala Mama was greatly enjoyed at DLD yesterday and loved by all, and I am really looking forward to trying the rest of these. Thanks again!

    Cheers
