    BBXXI is probably the best porter I've ever had. I just realized I was down to 1 left, so I was ecstatic to see this in the box. The Temptation was in the box, I just realized that I didn't list it. I've been working 12-14 hour days for the last 3 weeks and have another 10 days of them before we slow down.

    No rush on the next box, I don't see myself being able to ship for at least 2 weeks anyway.

    I have the list. I have been working 55 hours every week for the last 3 weeks. I have a trade box landing here tomorrow which has several beers which my target will be quaffing. I'm hoping to get this out in the next 7-10 days.

    Just a quick update. I got sent out of town for 3 days of unexpected training. I won't be back until Friday. I'm hoping to have box 1 on the road first thing Monday morning.

    Looks like the state you grew up in was New York! Box 1 landed safely at the office this morning and a bad ass box it is indeed.

    Upland Gilgamesh
    New Belgium Tart Lychee
    Rivertown Lambic
    FFF Dreadnaught
    Lost Abbey Red Poppy Ale
    Lost Abbey Deliverance Ale

    I'm excited to try all of these beers! Thanks Chad!

    I was born and raised in Rochester, only moved to Ohio in December of '09. My parents still live near Canandaigua.

    And Greg, I've been an Eagles fan since I was old enough to understand football.

    Box 2 will be on its way shortly, and possibly a box 3 depending on how overboard I decide to go.

    No shit...I was born and raised just north of Batavia and went to college in Geneseo. Small world man. Thanks again...had the Dreadnaught *and* Red Poppy today. Both delicious. Shared the Dreadnaught with 3 of my co-workers who hadn't had it before - they certainly appreciated it as well!

    I'll have my target picked and a box ready to roll hopefully by the middle of next week.

    after getting the list today, are you surprised how many are in this BIF?

    suspect Savant (1,103) Apr 12, 2010 New York

    It's right about where I thought it was (maybe a couple more) but I am surprised at how long this has taken to work its way out. This has been a really fun BIF. Glad to be a part of it!

    So, at about a box per month, how long can this go?

    Most of the bottles have been procured. Need to grab some swag and perhaps a growler. Will ship box 1 out Monday.

    Clue number 2 - It would cost me about $300 just in gas to drive there.

    Box #1 packed, labeled and leaving via FedEx tomorrow morning. Should land early next week.
