    24 oz. of Jai Alai IPA (FRESH...)--Cigar City
    24 oz. of Jai Alai White Oak IPA--Cigar City

    It's can-demonium over here! Anything Cigar City is a huge want for me--Especially Jai Alai. This box has already knocked it out of the park!

    But wait, there's more...

    Frickin HUNA!??! And all I got from the man was a 6er of Jai Alai :wink: (oh wait, I wasn't his target, or even a trade partner...) Enjoy that Marshall Zhukov too, instantly became one of my favorite non-BA stouts, soooooooo good. The bottle recommends sitting on it a few months, I opened it before noticing that but it is already drinking smooth as silk with no hot alcohol at all.

    Also, I wouldn't be me if I didn't point out that Good Gourd Almighty is not the same as Good Gourd, you have the latter. I'm told they're both awesome beers, but pedants gotta be pedantic. .....though a re-read of your post makes it look like you already knew that :flushed:

    Hell yeah they are. They probably won't arrive for another 7 hours though, I'm at the tail end of the route.

    It's a bitch in the summer, though at least my wife doesn't generally have to bring them in herself; her patience for my beer "hobby" is thin anyway and the more directly involved she has to be, the thinner it gets.

    I was pretty sure that was the case, but I didn't even realize that my expression matched the label of the other version. Careless word choice--8 hours after opening the box I'm still giddy and have a little extra skip in my step. It might also be the extra cup of coffee trying to balance out the Olde Hickory Seven Devils from last night...

    You say careless, I say awesome coincidence :slight_smile: That in fact is a pretty amazing box, from the sound of it the competition for 'best box of the round' might come down to @valrxman and @Kramerbarthomer ...with all due respect to everyone else, there have been some awesome boxes this round, but that CCB combo! And been being teased with how good this haul will be for weeks now.

    Haha. I don't know if it will be the "best" but I'm sure you'll like it. There have been just too many outstanding boxes this round to count!

    I wouldn't say a lot. Near term looks like expansion into Iowa and Wisconsin. New brewery coming online soon and that should allow them to expand more eventually.

    I'm sure you'll get this taken care of long before December, but I'll be in Missouri then and could (I think) get a quantity of this.

    So maybe they could actually produce their beers... @billhelm, I know you know this, but for the others in the thread, Surly cancelled Wet this year solely based on not having capacity to produce it. That's apparently also why Darkness is barrel-aged this year. They don't have the tank space to have it sitting around aging in a tank, so they pulled it and put it all in barrels to free up the tank space.
