    Can't wait to get home from work AGAIN. Wondering if I have a box from my other sender as well... This could be an amazing Friday

    OK, I already knew who sent this (IPAkindaguy), because like many of us he forgot to put in a note and BM'd me this morning. :slight_smile: You really hit me with some interesting stuff I didn't know, which means it's going to be a lot of fun trying all these:

    Flower Power - have had and liked
    Rock Art Midnight Madness - I have a love/hate relationship with smoked beers. We'll see how this one goes. :wink:
    Rock Art IPA - think I'll chill this one now
    Mystic Day of Doom - the title alone is a winner
    Jack's Abby 2nd Anniv. Lager - have loved everything from JA that I have tried
    White Birch Hop to Wit - peppercorns sound good
    Wormtown Be Hoppy IPA - rated pretty highly and I've never heard of it. Cool!
    Pretty Things American Darling - I guess the instructions are to drink this while mowing the lawn, given the label
    Baxter Summer Swelter - and it just cooled off around here, it was in the 90s last week!
    Gandhi Bot - just had this the other day, was contemplating trading for some more
    Foolproof Barstool - brewed in same city as Peter Griffin's favorite beer? OK!

    Great box man, I'm going to enjoy these. Thanks!

    There's also a growler of IPA coming from a Buffalo nano brewery. It's one of my faves, but I've been waiting on the packing materials. I'm gonna try and get it from Buffalo to San Diego still cold. Been waiting on a vaccine delivery at work to reuse the shipping supplies. A little late, but the main part of the box was on time. Cheers and thanks for setting this all up!!!

    Wife has confirmed there was no second box. Now I'm kind of hoping my 2nd sender is ijaap.

    This post is about a week overdue, sorry for the delay Jeff. This was in-person courtesy of zekeman17, who became one of my senders mid-BIFF. Even though we live about 20 minutes apart he did an awesome job of hitting wants and also some beers I have never had:

    Little Guys:

    [​IMG]

    KBS - YES
    Impy Stout and B-fast Stout - Personal Faves
    Jose Marti - definite want
    Total Eclipse - love a breakfast stout - why isn't this a want? Who cares now - can't wait

    Big Boys:

    [​IMG]

    Old Habit - didn't think I would get a chance to try this
    Bolt Cutter - the dubious one, but I have wanted to try this since missing out on the release
    Helltown Devious - this is a local one that I haven't tried yet
    Black Metal - definitely looking forward to trying this one
    Very Mad Cow - huge huge mega want

    Finally:

    [​IMG]

    Forest and Main Solaire Reserve - a brett saison from a well regarded local brewpub that I have yet to visit AND because I had mentioned to him that I have still yet to go to Forest and Main, he hooked me up with a gift certificate!

    Overall, awesome job Jeff - given the change-up you gave me a home-run of a box!

    Also, to my targets, I am a jerk and sent late but you will have boxes next week.

    Bolt Cutter is something else alright. Defiantly a must try. Super cool with the gift cert.
