    My boxes are currently in Perrysburg, OH and a little over an hour from their target. My target also buys beer from their state!

    Jai Alai and White Oak Jai Alai are delicious as usual (more breweries should age their IPAs in barrels or something similar).

    While the UXO was good, I really, really liked the Category 5. I would buy that beer as an everyday drinker.

    Fedex tells me there's a box from Colorado on the truck for delivery today. Friday the 13th, let's hope nothing goes wrong.

    Fed Ex has delayed my shipment until tomorrow. So @NRo should get a nice big graduation present.

    It's certainly sounding like I may be on pic posting duty later as well!

    - Friek (WANT)
    - IPA (WANT)
    - 90 Shilling Ale

    Now the cans (who doesn't like a nice can?):

    - SKA Modus Hoperandi (should-be-want)
    - Upslope IPA
    - Drydock Hop Abomination
    - Drydock Amber Ale
    - Drydock Apricot Blonde (the lady will love this)

    I wonder if they'll do a variant batch (elderberries maybe?) called cat 5e?

    Sweet CO box, looks like a lot of fun. Nice work, @Kramerbarthomer.

    I'm slowly working my way through your box, @mklisz - have a "Contraband Party" coming up next week where we can only bring bottles not in our distro, guessing a good chunk of it will be consumed then. Everything I've had so far has been off the charts.

    Hope you guys all have a good weekend!

    We need to do a local growler and glass BIF.

    A growler/glassware BIF is a good idea, but I feel like we need to wait to do any kind of additional BIF (stouts, or growlers, or anything else), because of the amount of beer we will all end up accruing. I'm gonna be at Peekskill Brewery tomorrow (considered one of the best in NY) for dinner with friends, and I'm probably not even going to fill any growlers because of all the delicious Southern California beer I got this week (on top of all my pre-existing inventory).
