    This man does not mess around! Within a couple hours of this post, he met me at work and dropped off this box of ridiculousness. "Small box" pffft.

    Figured it would be better to deliver the beers in time for the holiday. Great to meet you, Paul. And have an awesome Fourth, everyone!

    There's at least one more box on its way to FalconA.

    I think there's also one waiting for me that I won't be able to pick up until after work today. :slight_frown:

    Well if there's more than that and my box isn't one of the first five, I'll expect you to give all the bottles to libbey...

    Just waiting for confirmation from FalconA on delivery of Rempo's box and gpawned's box then we can move on.

    There will be no round three. Response has been underwhelming on the shipping end of this LIF, so we'll cut straight to the final round shortly after I hear back from FalconA. Congrats to the 7 finalists:

    libbey
    FTowne
    Steimie
    FalconA
    wsucoug96
    Rempo
    gpawned

    When the final question is posted, you'll each have 24 hours to post ONE guess.

    I had an eerie feeling that Rempo was going to overdo it. His box landed today. [Sour Reserve not part of this LIF][​IMG]

    He even stalked my damn ISO and sent me an aged gueuze. Amazing box, Mark. Thanks!

    The least I could do - I use seekabrew all the time. You should rake libbey over the coals for that Riserva (rumor has it he's crazy for raspberries).

    I hope you enjoy the aged Boon more than I did. :slight_frown:

    Any ETA on the final round? I'm still working through all the beers generously sent to me but I can take a short break to compete again for PNW supremacy.

    The Final Question (for libbey, FTowne, Steimie, FalconA, wsucoug96, Rempo and gpawnded only):

    How many bottles of beer are currently in my cellar?

    You can only answer once, must answer by 5:00pm EDT tomorrow, 7/18/2012, and I will say that there is a "hint" somewhere within the Beer Advocate community. Editing your answer is allowed, but the number in your post at the deadline is your final answer. No bonGood luck!

    Are you currently on a 24-hour drinking spree?

    One point of clarification - the winner will be the closest number without going over. Also, you can't guess the same number someone else has already guessed.
