    Very awesome box! Matt I'm sure I will be more than pleased. I was feeling the same way after seeing these boxes. I wished the distribution in my area was better.

    You will drink this tonight and inform me of your findings. That is an order. (Yes, I'm a huge Jack's Abby fanboy if you couldn't tell).

    Jon, I am really, really glad you like it all. It took me some time to put together, I pretty much stalked the hell out of you :grinning:

    You said you wanted to start getting into sours, so that's what the enigma and cantillon are for. I'd reccomend picking up a Rodenbauch Grand Cru, as well. Drink that, then the Enigma, and then the cantillon over the course of a couple days, that'll probably help you figure out if sours are for you :wink:

    Enjoy, it was a ton of fun putting that box together and knowing that it is truly appreciated bring a large smile to my face!

    edit: I just saw that you havn't tried any of this besides the topper before, and that's AWESOME! The peche ended up in the second box because we were talking about it in the convo and I thought "You know what, even if he already has one, or has tried it, this beer is good enough that it needs to go in the bag". Pretty much, I had a hard time filling your biggest liked style of BA stouts and porters with local stuff (except BoT, of course) so I just decided to lay it on ya with whatever I could. Really glad you're so excited, this makes my night!
