    My box supplier (Blue Apron) failed me, so I’m now back to the drawing board. Going to try to get this sorted tomorrow and shipped Thursday.

    As a side note, a handful of people have reached out saying they haven’t been able to ship yet. All good. The deadline to ship is Friday, so there’s plenty of time left.
    If you don’t think you can hit Friday, shoot me a PM and let me know, and I’ll reach out to your giftee.

    In all seriousness I’m in no rush so whomever my Secret Santa is, no pressure. I will be out of town next week for work arriving home late Friday night the 24th. So if it arrives while I’m away next week or later it’s all good.
    I’m just happy to participate in this fun trade!

    If I don’t make Friday its because I am buying more beers and will ship Saturday.

    And I promise that none of my boxes will exceed 128 oz or so (as long as we don’t count water). Shrug

    I used the box you sent me to pack my offering, so there is another one that may come back around to you down the line.

    I can Echo @pshankstar statement. I could care less when my package arrives. I know whomever is good for it and in no hurry.
    Although I’m not chasing my fedex driver like him.

    For the record I am not chasing the FedEx truck, I’m stalking them. There’s a big difference and one may be a little creepier than the other. Haha

    I was out in the backyard with the dogs when we all heard a delivery truck pull up. We all ran to the fence and barked like crazy. Haha
    After finishing my work out back I found to my delight that Santa had left me a present! And what a heck of a present it was too!! Thank you @TheDudeLebowski!!! The great thing is, they are already chilled too!! Can’t wait to dig into them!
    Now I can relax. Haha

    Aaaah! Glad you found the hidden Trillium stickers under the packing slip. I forgot to pack them in the box.

    The 4 Treehouse Christmas stouts I liked. I'm not a huge lacto or spiced stout guy but they didn't go overboard. I even found as it warmed up it got better on the balance being a little bolder without overpowering.

    Now I can hit my fridge without worrying about raiding my allotted trades!

    Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

    You nailed it, thank you! I don’t think I’ve had any of those beers before too. It’s supposed to start getting cold again so those stouts will be nice on those cold nights. Thanks for the heads up on them too!
    Yeah the stickers were a surprise. I sliced one opening the box but there were extras.
    Enjoy raiding the fridge without any worries. That’s a real struggle!

    A box has finally been located (though I may have to search for a supplier before I need to ship beer next) so my offer goes out tomorrow. Leave it to me to be amongst the last to ship in this round! :no:

    that’s what @TheDudeLebowski said about the regular version. That’s fruited with pineapple I think which would cover it up even more.
