    Well there is only two of us from Florida and @Andelliotsaid said he's not shipping to me so perhaps this means I'm in for a Pennsylvania box?

    I know I said I was shipping today, but I had to watch football and drink yesterday so nothing got wrapped. My box will be shipped tomorrow, pending a catastrophe (aka girlfriend yelling down into the basement that I'm spending too much time wrapping beer instead of patching plaster in the den, or watching garbage tv with her). Assuming Tuesday shipping, and barring any monkey business by FedEx, the box should arrive at my target on Thursday!

    Same. Had to drown my sorrows of watching the Eagles in beer. Picked up a few more locals for my box and everything is set out, but nothing in boxes yet.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmm........ Well, I will say that I haven't posted too many hints, but here's one:

    I've Quoted my target's post more than a couple times, often in the context of who his sender is. :wink:


    Now that the proverbial horse is taking a drink, be on the lookout tomorrow. :grinning:

    Okay guys, sorry for the delay but here it is in all its glory. Big thanks to @Smarty_Pints for all of these beers. Couldn't have been happier with the Cali love and he hit some serious wants of mine. Some friends of mine recently moved here to start their own brewery and they always brag about their previous jobs at Modern Times. Super stoked to see what these guys are talking about. Also, throwing in my favorite Saint Archer beer is a huge plus in my book. Cannot thank you enough! Don't mind the MGS5 in the background haha.

    Probably neither, but personally I do prefer haul posts that are not only a picture, but also a bit a of a write-up, such as this:
    edit: I have no idea what "rated toughly" meant.... :confused:

    On another note...I do 90% of viewing from a phone and it's old and it doesn't like to zoom in. Therefore, a list becomes helpful. I didn't even notice the Chocolate Rain till I looked at it on my computer.

    Looking good. Out of town for a few days, anxious to see if a box shows up while I'm gone.

    My bigger box posted above was thanks to the packaging from @pnelting as well. Although I inserted a 3rd box to secure the bottles even further.
