    Don't sweat it. I'll take all the SOS I can get. I had it at a bottle share at New Glarus and probably didn't check it in. I'll enjoy this can all to my self. Thanks again.

    Delayed pr0n for you folks... I got this box last night, but was busy unpacking. I opened it and took the pictures, but didnt have time to post it. thanks for my second box @Avelasquez80

    here are the bottles. [​IMG]
    Real Ale- Devil's Backbone: second real ale from Ariel. Looking forward to this one. Love belgian style beers.
    Community- Mosaic IPA: The only beer from this box I have had. I got it as an extra a few months ago and loved it.
    Lakewood- Temptress: In that same trade I got a fruited version of this beer. Looking forward to the base beer.
    Avery- White Rascal: I have seen this one, but have never had it.
    Now for the Prairie overload!
    Prairie- Standard: Should have been a want. Cant wait to try it.
    Bomb!: Got one in a somewhat blind trade from a RTP. Been wanting to open it, but now I have an extra to open one now and another one in a few months.
    Tulsa Rugby Ale- I have never had a pale ale from them, so I will get into it soon. looks great.

    Now to the cans:
    [​IMG]
    Free Tail- Yo Soy Un Berliner: Love the style. the name, and the artwork. Proper glassware that is amazing. Love the Dia de la muerta style.
    Deep Ellum- IPA: I have heard of the brewery, but never had this. Love trying local IPAs.
    Saint Arnold- Oktoberfest: Tis the season. I love the variety in this box.
    Free Tail- Bat Outta Helles: Another great name. They seem like a very interesting brewery.

    Can't wait to dig into all of these. Here is the family shot:
    [​IMG]
    Took it at a bad angle so you cant see it all. And you can see my parent's kitchen in all its glory.

    Forgot to add this in my family picture: [​IMG]
    A beer koozie and some stickers from Freetail. I am not sure if @Avelasquez80 knows I am in the military or not, but most of his tape on the bottles and this have been camo. Good work.

    So I left something out.... Maybe a little on purpose, but also because it went right in the fridge. Here it is with the rest of the beers that are going with me for the weekend.
    [​IMG]
    A 32oz growler of Live Oak Hefe: I have heard nothing but great things. Most of the hoppy stuff I got is in the bag with me for the weekend.

    Its been a great BIF so far. And my box should land today.....

    Cheers @ohyeahitsmuff! Hope you enjoy em man, and thanks for your service! I had no idea you were in the military but glad the camo worked ha ha!

    Also, I know the White Rascal wasn't on your wants list here, and you could probably get it where you're at, but I saw it on your wish list on Untappd so I said what the hell, I'll throw it in. Hope you enjoy them!

    Does anyone else think of the movie with Roddy Piper 'They Live' when seeing that Free Tail can and glass?

    Nice box @Avelasquez80 ! Enjoy that Live Oak Hefe! Delicious!

    Yeah, they have some interesting styles, glasses and a really cool tap room. Like how they threw JFK and Jackie O into the mix!

    Is that glass hard to get? I think I'm going to post an ISO for it. If you can get me one, send me a BM

    I think work sent him to Dallas for the week. From the way it sounded it was a last minute thing. :slight_frown:

    Yep. Heard from higher ups that I needed to train a whole bunch of people this week at one of our Dallas locations and dropped everything to come up here for the week. I work for Hopdoddy Burger Bar, so if anyone is in Austin, Dallas, Denver, Scottsdale Arizona, or LA go check us out. Amazing locally sourced and fresh burgers and beer is on point and local.

    My girlfriend texted me a pic of the box and everything seems fine, but I selfishly want to be the one to open it Monday morning when I get home.

    Pr0n time courtesy of @Rion , let's see what we've got here:
    [​IMG]
    Westbrook Gose - Super funky, super salty and a great representation of the style. Ecstatic to have this one again
    Westbrook One Claw - Rye pale ale, never had but love the earthiness rye brings to the table
    American Mountain Porter - Never heard of these guys, love a good porter
    Burial Haysaw Saison - buddy from Asheville raves about these guys, glad to finally get my hands on one
    Roughtail Wee Heavy - Never seen a wee heavy in a can, sweet design to boot

    [​IMG]
    Off Color Dino Smores - should have been a want, just had their yuzu fierce and really enjoyed it
    Avery Uncle Jacobs Stout - Big fan of all the Avery specialty beers, surprisingly never had this one and should have been a want
    Sierra BA Narwhal - Just found this for the first time other night and was a want for quite some time. Now I get to enjoy one now as well as cellar, good shit.
    Foothills BA Sexual Chocolate - BIG time want, fuck yes.
    Central waters BA Barley Wine - I've had a few of their stouts, all fantastic glad to try something different from these guys

    [​IMG]
    Prairie Funky Gold Amarillo - First non stout I've had from them, love these guys and sweet bottle art
    Crooked Stave Serenata Notturna - my first crooked stave! Should've been a want if it wasn't already
    Sierra x Russian River Brux - I had this one back in 2012 when it was released and longgg before I acquired an affection for the funk. Excited to see what almost 4 years has done to this beer
    Wicked Weed Amorous - Anything sour by WW is a big time want, can't wait to try this
    Wicked Weed Pernicious - One of my favorite IPAs outside the realm of new england
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
