    A box from Jodan arrived unexpectedly this afternoon. He utterly slaughtered me with it, too!

    Here is the haul:

    64oz Growler of Beachwood Brewing's Thrillseeker IPA

    Large Format Bottles:

    Williamsburg Aleworks- Cafe Royale- Want!
    The Bruery/Lawson's- Acer Quercus
    Pretty Things Finest Regards- Want!
    Eagle Rock- Populist
    Hangar 24- Barrel Roll #4 Hammerhead- Want!

    12oz/375s:

    Victory- Old Horizontal- Want!
    Avery- Rumpkin- Want!
    DFH- 120 Minute- Want!
    Russian River- Damnation, Batch 23 (69)- Want!

    (Everything that wasn't a want should have been, after looking at reviews and descriptions.)

    Eagle Rock Brewery T-Shirt and Glass (a sweet snifter)

    Thanks a lot, Jordan! This type of box is exactly why I am addicted to BIFs. I hope my target likes his box as much as I like mine!

    I will be opening said growler as soon as it chills! Hopefully some buddies can come over tonight, or I am going to be consuming every last drop myself.

    Box 1 of 2 was packed up today, now just gotta figure out what that top right corner needs to be filled with. Box is almost all wants (the one that isn't is a oaked version of a want). I may drop this off Monday, the growler and shirt would be a bit behind, all depends on the shirts progress.

    To my target,

    I just realized that I did not label the growler I sent. I will tell you it is a growler of my current favorite IPA and is only available on draft. I will give you more info once I know the box has touched down safely.

    Cheers and congrats (another hint)

    Glad it all made the trip, and hope you enjoy it!
    Apparently I was a few spots in front of ya at Dday last year, hope to cross paths this year. Actually, I hope I've gotta work at that time this year and can't make it.

    the nice thing about being 6'6 is that even if my mouth digs my grave, my head is still sticking out of it. Unfortunately, that usually means I cause more trouble for myself.:astonished:

    I remember meeting you there. Were you in the darkness day mystery box BIF?

    I certainly was in Biglobo's Local BIF there, I was a little tipsy by that time I think. 5AM KBS vs. Peruvian Morning tasting was the start to a long and awesome day!

    I thought so. Most of us were tipsy by that point! That was my first BIF and my first release. I had to get everything in and out of my system early, since I had to be gone by 1 o'clock.

    Stopped by a local brew pub that opened last weekend yesterday. Sampled quite a few of their beers including one that I believe they brewed with Hill Farmstead.

    The struggle will be which one of their beers to get a growler of. I think that the glassware and shirt will also be coming from the same place as well.

    OMG all the bitching about not posting and I left something out. Jeez, and that shirt was for my Brother. Sorry was packing 2 NBO boxes at the same time. Will be taken care of by the end of the week.

    Matt, you can go ahead and send that XXXL shirt to me.

    Haha- I'm sorry, but this is hilarious to me. I would've done the same thing- resented the haul not being posted & then walked away with egg on my face. It's a good lesson though, I'll make sure to double check mine before I send it out :slight_smile:

    Most of all- Slvermon82, hope you had a wonderful wedding!

    Good lesson for me too. I have learned I to just pack one box at a time. Not 2 in the same sitting. LOL.

    Don't feel too horrible. I had three boxes being packed up last night side by side, I got them all sealed up and had to open two of them back up. Mixxed up a 10 bottle trade with a box of empty growlers. That would have been highly embarrassing had I not caught it. At least your target at least got some beer.

    My box did not go out today. It will, however hit the area behind the desk at FedEx office tomorrow. The growler my be changed if I find something else (since the one I am sending really wants me to drink it). I have found a number of wants, either from my cellar, or via trade.

    Here is another hint for my target:

    A famous (mostly hated) athlete started his overpaid career when he was drafted by a team residing in your state. He may or may not still play for them.
    Maybe another hint tomorrow...
