    Since a box landed today, looks like its time for the hauls thread. Congrats to Landrewg/Kentucky on their big win. Dont forget to ship $50 bucks of beer with at least one piece of brewery schwag.

    Thanks usofar! I took today off so I will get it on Monday. I threatened my guys with bodily harm if they didn't put it in a safe place!

    I got a killer box from usofar! There was a little box inside the big one and that is full of all wants:
    Pliny dated 3/20/12
    Alaskan Perseverance
    4 x G'night
    and an Older Viscosity!
    That's a pretty damn good box right there, but I also got:
    Fred Batch 84
    Kern River Class V Stout--the only one currently not on wants list--looks really good!
    and a 2011 Abyss.
    Oh, and a book: The Craft of Stone Brewing.
    I don't know else to say except thanks!

    I got yet another fantastic box today. This one is from Bi---I mean ReTag!
    A big heavy box chock full of Surly and a growler:

    4 x Furious
    6 x Cynic
    4 x Bender
    2 x Coffee Bender
    3 x Bitter
    Love Surly!
    A growler of Masala Mama--My nephew and his wife are big hopheads. We will be killing this on their deck soon!
    Also, 2 mini glasses from Grolsch and some kind of hanging metal beer holder?
    Plus some baby clothes on the bottom of the box. I think they were packing material but with this group you never know!

    Thanks a lot for the great box. A growler of some good IPA or DIPA will be heading your way soon!

    the hanging metal beer holder was just to protect the glasses, its part of a haging tool rack that broke. The baby clothes was for packing, gently used by my son. Enjoy those beers, there is some of my favorites.

    Sent you a BM just now. If you can't piece it together, the box with the box of Rice-a-Roni on top is from me. That was one of your Wants, right?

    To be honest I didn't even check your wants but I'm confident you'll be pretty happy. Enjoy
