    Nice boxes. Got a really big shirt a growler and bottles form a local taproom. Waiting on the last batch of a seasonal nectar. Will send Wednesday or next Monday cheers

    And I still have no clue as to who is sending my way. I always sucked at Clue, the butler with the egg beater in the bathroom?

    Fellow BIFers, I have been destroyed.

    I read ohsaycanyoubeer's post right before I left work. What a wretched commute that was, knowing that there's only two or so BAs in this BIF from Texas, and that giddy "Christmas morning as a 5 year old" anticipation wondering IF I got lucky on this otherwise uneventful Friday...

    FedEx/UPS delivery schedules running through my head, "ok they usually deliver around 6, if it's me, it probably still is out for delivery..... ohhhh helll"

    Pull up into the driveway, to find a beautiful box at the door.

    THE HAUL:

    2xBell's HOPSLAM (Big ole want)
    '12 Bell's BLACK NOTE (Big Want)
    '12 Bell's Expedition Stout (Perma Want)
    Bell's Double Cream Stout (I didn't even know about this, but sounds like something I'm going to be all about)
    Cigar City Big Sound Scotch Ale (Want)
    Cigar City Guava Grove Saison (Want)
    Cigar City Humidor Double American Black Ale (looks awesome)
    Cigar City Jai Alai White Oak (should have been a want)
    Cigar City Jai Alai (Want)
    Cigar City Florida Cracker White Ale (heard good things!)
    Cigar City Maduro Brown (looks good!)
    Cigar City Hotter than Helles Lager (i love a good, well made helles... an under appreciated style)

    A sweet ass Cigar City pint glass, and a completely ridiculous Bell's flag... the wife just got home and said "a flag??? you should hang that over your kegerator." Dammit, I think I will. Tonight.

    For the record, when I saw the box, I just straight ran into the house to get it. It wasn't until I had it unpacked, and walked out to get my work bag, that I realized in my haste I even left the car running with the keys in it. :rolling_eyes:

    Thank you for running this BIF, and blowing up my fridge/porch.

    My box is heading out Monday. For a huge hint, it's heading west.

    Double Cream is one of the two bases, along with Expedition, for Black Note. I thought they would be an interesting comparison. Enjoy it!

    Solid boxes so far, love the Cigar City being tossed around! Looking to ship early next week and violate my target's front porch with 176 oz. deliciousness. AVG BA score of 95. One of the targets wants was weighing down my average so I threw a beer with a score of 100 to bring it back up! Capital city, look out!

    My package is at a depot just 239 miles from the capitol city to which it is headed.
    To be delivered Monday, hopefully not as beercicles.

    So far, 3 wants are packed up and could be upped to 5 once I dig through boxes and see what else I have that's on his list. The three wants are ones he was going to get anyways, so Im glad he actually wants them.

    Hint? suuure!
    It would take me roughly 211 hours if I were to walk before I landed on your street.

    Here's a porch bomb, pre-launch. The delivery guy better be wearing steel toe boots.
