    I solved the puzzle. UPS took out all of the beer and repackaged the pint glass and the letter. Thanks for reshipping so quickly.

    Worst part is I think the package made it all the way to my house. Last week the UPS guy stopped in front of my house and I never got anything and didn't see him actually leave his truck.

    I'm glad you got the pint glass. I didn't have another one handy when I repacked so I just threw in an extra beer.

    I think my sender has the wrong address for me. UPS came down my block today but didn't stop at my house. He drove right by and stopped a couple houses down. So i think my guy sent my package to the wrong house. Or my neighbor was getting a package.

    I knew it was a conspiracy against me.

    I'm starting to lean towards the neighbor actually getting a package.

    mine was scheduled initially for today (8/5) but right now is rescheduled for tomorrow. Hopefully that's a good sign, not that they already repacked it :/

    I had to wait for confirm to ship. I started packing last night and came up short on bubble wrap. I'm hoping to get it out today, but if not, it'll go tomorrow for sure.

    Well crap. Chalk up another casualty. Mine was supposed to be delivered to its recipient today but now there's a message that it was damaged and being returned. Looks like its back to the bottle shop to try again.

    After seeing all the broken bottle posts, I'm surprised nothing broke... Hopefully you like them, mostly IPA's as I saw in another post you said you were a big hop head.

    Cheers!

    Im glad mine made it to you safe as well. I couldn't believe that I got a guy in portland... because just I had just completed a trade with a different guy in Portland! I'll rep your iTrader as soon as I get on a real computer and off this damn app.

    I saw that in another thread i think. You got a bottle of Mega Fauna which is probably the best IIPA coming out of Oregon right now. They were sold out of them last time I went in there.

    IS that basecamp IPL?
    Great brew if so, and the aluminum bottle is kickass!

    Great Haul!!

    Indeed it is. Yeah, the bottle is pretty cool. I definitely wish more places around here canned. They are way more convenient than glass.

    Got it. All in one piece.

    And I have had absolutely none of these. Nice assortment of styles.

    Been wanting to try the Resin and the Black Ops. My wife will probably lay claim to the pumking...

    Now I have stuff to drink on Brew Day this weekend.

    From the packages I've seen so far, you got the best box in my opinion. Even better that you haven't tried them before.

    Enjoy!

    I received my box today! Got a great haul, thanks brewmeister13! I used to live in AZ, but have had only one of the brews I was sent. I'm not disappointed to have it again either!

    I'll post a pic once my little guy goes to sleep.
