    Can you still ship if your targets area rarely gets above freezing? I dont want them getting beer slushies. Do I just ship it and let them know the day before it lands?

    I just went running out to the warehouse when I saw the FedEx guy pulling in the driveway.
    All business related packages, no beer for me.
    Now I am sad.

    I was always the one waking my parents up early on Christmas morning, so you know I wasn't going to be able to wait until tonight to open this up (I managed to hold out for about 6 minutes).
    I see Central Waters.
    I see Three Floyds. Arctic Panzer Wolf
    I see Goose Island. Big John
    I see Half Acre. Daisy Cutter
    I see Revolution.
    I see Bells.
    I see a Half Acre Glass and coasters.
    I see a couple of Time magazines?
    There is more on the bottom that I can't get to (killing me) right now.
    Awesome job done on the packing, too.

    I'm happy to see it looks like everything made it to you in one piece. This was an interesting challenge because you mentioned that you don't like coffee flavors in your beer & I'm just the opposite. Hope I was able to give you some stuff you'll enjoy. Cheers!

    I'm doing the preliminary stages of packing tonight (taping bottles, wrapping in bubble-wrap, tasting for quality control, etc) while I sip on a dark, smokey TX brew that I'm considering including in my box. This bad-boy should start its 1500+ mile trek by early next week.

    Hint: at least 2 popular TV shows and a well known genre-classic movie were filmed partially in my target's city.
