    I am also pretty sure a box is landing today, but my target already knows who he is.

    This is going to make it hard for me to stay at work today.

    Hint 1: My target has not posted in this Hints & hauls thread yet
    Hint 2: I will be shipping East
    Hint 3: My target has less posts, likes, wants, hads, and gots than me but has been on this site longer.
    Hint 4: I have been in (previously or currently) a BIF with my target.
    Hint 5: I was the post before or the post after one of your posts at least once.
    Hint 6: (need to keep pace with ufmj) My target has completed less trades than me but has been in more BIFs than I have been in.
    Hint 7: I am shipping to a state that I have never been to and never shipped to before.
    Hint 8: My target does not have a beer themed avatar
    Hint 9: my target does not have numbers in his screen name
    Hint 10: A musician sharing your first name founded and was also the lead singer of this severely inappropriately named band.
    Hint 11: Including this post, my target has posted on here 25 LESS times than I have.

    Hint 12: My state is larger than yours; however, it is not more that 2 times the size of yours.

    Hint 13: I am NOT shipping to ufmj
    Hint 14: I am NOT shipping to Kwaide​
    Hint 15: My targets name rhymes with TroutMeth, but I do not think he is prepared for box 2 which will be landing today.​

    Another new one to me, Captain Lawrence's Limone Luppolo...a growler full of it! Had a little leakage on this one, due to the heat it seems...but it smells delicious!
    Also a Newburg Brewing glass to add to the collection!

    Thanks for the great boxes Cuzco, can't wait to get these guys cooled down and let the tasting commence!

    Alright, I gave up and headed home early from work.

    I opened it up, and found a handful of shattered bottles. The cans were pretty loose and banging around. The plastic bag had leaked and the inside box was super soggy. However, all the cans survived, and a few bottles made it.

    Picture coming once I can get some of the cans cleaned off a bit.

    Glad you liked the boxes. Sorry about the leakage. I didn't have any tape to put on the top. Sorry again. I knew it was going to bite me in the ass. I hope you like the rest of the local Summer Brews!

    No doubt man! All is good, minimal leakage on the growler, looked to have a lot of pressure on it judging by how rounded out the top is. It was close to 90° today and yesterday , I'm sure that didn't help.

    Just a word on the pumking. That has been in the cellar for about a year now. You'll have to let me know how it aged.

    Maybe since the picture blended you should blend them in a glass?

    Since this is my first time having both of these, I need to try them seperate. but a brown IPA ale is a good idea.
