    @VaTechPhilly sent me a sweet box of pretty much all wants.

    [​IMG]

    Super excited to sample more OH and Grimm beers, I've only had one or two from each brewery. Green Diamonds is the only beer here that I've had, but it was an extra in a trade and like four months old, so I'm happy to revisit. Plus a beer from Threes brewing, who I'm not really familiar with, and #PGW for all the OH beers (my first teku)!

    The bottles, all wants! Popped both my Casey and Logsdon cherries here (PnB, seriously?!) and I have some guesses already on the blind bottle based on its similar size to the one on the far right.

    Thanks so much, excited to try all these beers (hell, I'm already three deep)!

    Sender I still don't know your BA name, But I got your box everything was intact and loved it!!! Will post pics tomorrow. Was to drunk to do anything yesterday and have been to busy getting ready for the super bowl party today. I think your wrapped beer was the Sunday Morning Stout but the newspaper stayed stuck to the Styrofoam and wouldn't let the bottle out, so I guess I ruined the surprise.

    Blind taste courtesy of @ndpunk. Definitely a peppered Stout. Maybe coffee, chocolate for sure. Nice pepper heat for sure. Nice mouthfeel. I'm guessing Space Ghost.

    I'm not even in this BIF but I know who sent that. Go back to the message I originally quoted with the Office Space video response and you will find your sender.

    All of the boxes have landed now except for one. That sender has already contacted their target and it's supposed to land today or tomorrow. The box went out early enough, FedEx just blew it.

    If you haven't posted your haul pron in this thread yet, please do so (especially if you want your sender to be eligible for best box voting!). Same goes for the blind bottle tasting whenever you do that (I know a couple people have already, but the big coordinated blind VBS is this Saturday).

    Finally, if you want in on our little Slack group, contact myself, @Doogflaggat, @Elkevjoe, or @Eziel for an invite.

    Thanks for doing another stellar job with this round @jonbonfondle and yes, my boxes are the last to land, no idea why they didn't drop on Friday. Hope they hit safely today, long journey to SoCal I guess :slight_frown:

    The explosion on my porch from this box was in magnitudes that would make even the San Andreas Fault blush.
    The beer:

    I couldn't wait to pop this one. It was chilled enough right out of the box to drink. It didn't make it in time for the lineup. :stuck_out_tongue:

    A few wants a ton of beer that should've been wants!

    The swag:
    [​IMG]
    Love the shirt and glass! I've been needing a Jackie O's glass.

    You rock @Eziel! I'm blown away by this box! I'm going to definitely put a dent in this with friends this weekend!
