    Thanks for being so prompt with emails and such. Not going to lie, I signed up thinking I'd send beer out this time, but it looks like I'll be throwing together some tastings.. Thanks in advance for the packages that'll be coming!

    Box #1 landed today from BA ruizjoseph. Included was a want and two I've never had nor heard of -- but they're RIS, so they've got to be tasty :slight_smile:

    Boxed up and ready to ship; Tues.

    No whales or wants (sorry bro), but a few local tasty brews you'll other wise never get to try.

    I've gotten a few tracking numbers so far vande, so expect a few boxes soon.

    Get these boxes out people! We need to get another one of these going soon.

    Sounds like UPS/Fedex will be regulars in the upcoming days then.... Two boxes landed today and were nicely bagged to stay dry as today was a grey and rainy day [finally, grass was looking thirsty!]... anyways... I believe the first one I opened today came from Sidebordz [Blake]... [​IMG]

    A couple of wants in a nicely packed box! Can't go wrong with J Mama's Milk.... and Marshal!!! Is that this years? Can't wait to pop a bottle!

    Today's second box came from land of a thousand lakes, landrewg [Andrew] who put together a tightly packed box full of goodies! [​IMG]

    2010 Port's Santa's Little Helper [can never get enough], Blue Point No Apologies DIPA [new beer/brewery too me], Nugget Nectar [1st of the year!], 2011 Kuhnhen Prometheus and 9 [STOKED -- Never had anything from this well spoken of place!!], Tyranena Down and Dirty [great beer] Amsterdam Nut brown out of Canada [new beer/brewery - Tic!]

    Thanks for a great Thursday afternoon fellas!! Much appreciated :slight_smile:

    a.) If this is run again, I'd love to hop in so as to repay some of the generousity that has been flowing as boxes land....if I were to lose :slight_smile:
    b.) A box landed today from BigAlTemple that knocked it out of the park! Having some technical difficulties w/ my cell phone so a pic will come later, but none the less.... as I unwrapped [superb wrap/pack job btw], what I saw was a:
    Avery 12 oz Uncle Jacob's Stout
    22 oz Bristol Imerpial IPA [drinking this tonight I believe along with the No Apologies with some friends at work.... ] couldn't find it on BA though - is it new?
    750 Odell Saboteur Brett Barrel Brown Ale [!]
    750 Russian River Consecration Batch 3 [I've only seen/had 375s...] and anything from RR is always pleasing!

    Dude - Thanks for a helluva box!!!! Pic to follow later tonite-

    Glad you liked the box! The Bristol just hit shelves last week. Nice brewery here in Colorado Springs doing great things in the community. Thanks for the vote of confidence on the packing, I really appreciate it.

    Once again, congrats on the win!

    Thanks! Never been happy to lose before, but I guess there is a first for everything.

    I'm shipping out either this Monday or the next Monday (on a business trip so it is either one or the other unfortunately)

    Bristol and No Apologies were both pretty tasty! Little behind on posts [and my phone is sucking it up, so pics to come soon..] But....
    Box dropped yesterday from: stairsvictim contained Ballast Point Sea Monster Imperial Stout [Want!], Wynona's Big Brown Ale [Tasty & Want! had once and enjoyed], and Homebrew IPA which is in the fridge...

    Box 1 dropped today from: robbiemoy13 contained Pipeworks BA [i think] smoked porter [very excited to try], GLB Robust Porter25th Anniversary [very intrigued] and Zombie Dust [can never go wrong :slight_smile:]

    Box 2 dropped today as well from: George Katsoris containing a buffet of River Horse Brewing - the Lager, HO-Pa-Lot-a-mus, Double Wit, Summer Blond, Triple Horse, and Hop Hazard... which should be pretty darn tasty as

    I've had the Triple Horse before which was quite good..
    Thanks alot fellas for the great selections you're passing on.. A lot of new beers, breweries and some wants on top of that... Not gonna lie - seeing a box on the porch makes the end of the day a good one! Been some pretty impressive drop offs for the first 1/3!

    Thanks to Nick Beach for a great box:
    [​IMG] Been wanting the siren noir for a bit.. Was introduced to No Apologies earlier in this BIF - pretty tasty! Thanks for seconds... And with the inability to get anything Captain Lawrence in Illinois, it's always nice to see a bottle! Thanks a lot man-
    cheers..

    UPS was busy at the house yesterday! I'm getting crushed with phenomenal boxes, 3 in total yesterday... Rearranging the cellar and making some room in the fridge is a priority this week!

    From ungertaker: [​IMG]

    From mnbearsfan: [​IMG]

    From luvzsufrz & beermealready: [​IMG]

    Quite excited to dabble in this batch! Think there's 1/2 dozen wants, a couple of new Breweries to me and I think I've only had two of the beers prior [Alesmith IPA & Maui Conut porter], both welcome revisits!! Thanks for the grand boxes folks! Much appreciated...

    Two more boxes landed today -- one from Orlando Via Cali [i think] and one from Seattle... Pics and info to come in a bit, but who sent the box from the NW? There were 3 bottles from Upright, but I couldn't find/snag a name? I'd like to give out a proper thanks!
