    Target, check your porch on Wed. and open immediately. Inspect both parcels, it will be fairly obvious what to do; One is for immediate consumption (hyper fresh, too) and one is to save open on christmas.

    Enjoy :slight_smile:

    fingers crossed that this box doesn't meet the business end of a fork lift. It's packed pretty well, but not forklift well.

    Target, you box is going to be sent express, on Wednesday, after a last minute addition. The box will need to be opened immediately, as there will be 32oz of hyper fresh goodness for drinking!

    Target:

    You should have a 25 pound box sitting on your porch, left at front door according to UPS. Again you will want to open it and put the three bottles marked refrigerate in cool place.

    Did your sender send you the tracking info? How do you know it's being held there?

    My target may want to do this too. Everything in the box is wrapped and will not be identifiable. Each is wrapped with bubble wrap and newspaper over it. Dig down to the bottom and you will find two that are flatter than a bottle. They are at the very bottom, so have fun. Feel free to pop those in the fridge. I didn't worry about it at first, as I'm sure they will be fine and very tasty at christmas, they aren't growlers or anything, but they are hoppy. The choice is up to you!

    No peeking at the other stuff in there..... and when you post pictures of your haul, at least act surprised about the item outside the inner box. You don't want to offend your grandmother...

    No...door tag was let a couple days ago and I've been trying to get the box since.

    Why didn't they just leave it at your door?

    It said signature required on it....I asked for the package then to be held at my local fedex location (right by my house), and they had it held 30 mins away.

    I just watched UPS take my target's box off my porch and place it in their truck. They seemed to be handling it carefully.

    Someone in a state that is smaller (in area and population) than the state I live in should be receiving a box on Wednesday. Nothing in the box needs to be drank right away, so don't go opening it.

    I didn't write LNBASS or anything on it. If you get a box from Michigan on Wednesday, that should be your cue to leave it alone for now.

    Box is packed and ready to ship. Ended up significantly different than what I had originally planned, but I KNOW my target will be happy. Heading Northwest of me.

    That's odd. (hint: it's from me)

    I didn't require a sig on the shipment so I'm not sure what that's all about.

    Its been said before, but I'll reiterate. Don't sweat it man! We all know the requirements and rules. I think this group is tight enough where jealousy and anger over a smaller box shouldn't exist. I for one wouldn't care if I got a mix-a-sixer of locals. I'm just enjoying the ride with some cool beer peeps :sunglasses:

    Finally, my box just left via UPS headed 691miles west and scheduled to arrive Wednesday the 19th.

    As with others, my target needs to open my box immediately and follow the directions on the inside box's!

    Last hints for my target, lets see how well they pay attention :wink:

    1. My targets state borders the state my dad is visiting this week.
    2. My target lives roughly 20miles from a brewery who only bottles 2 beers.
