Same, they look great!
I opened all the boxes, bubble-wrapped (like Jack!), and re-taped boxes. Going out tomorrow.
She's so hefe. Haha, I love it. Off Abbey Road, by the Beertles. Nice.
did you not get his beers? I packed the boxes. There should be two layers of beers.
I just went to move the box and discovered how heavy it was... apologies to two fine gentlemen.
He may be a fine gentlemen, but I can’t rep for both of us.
Oh, stop, you’re a good guy. I thought it was the best way to get the egg off my face.

Met @fourfarthing he dropped off @jack13 @j1laskey and @TBC's beers--thanks everyone! Especially excited to try the beers we didn't get in last year's trade. @Hoppy2bmerry, please tell me the box was already in the recycling with 5 beers in it, more justification for me tearing apart all the packing material when I get a package in fear of throwing away a small part. 
Believe it or not, my MIL called the other night to thank us for a gift from last Christmas that she discovered as she went to use the box to send something this year! This box will be filled back up and shipped soon.Met @fourfarthing he dropped off @jack13 @j1laskey and @TBC's beers--thanks everyone!

I just shipped to east coast. You guys hopefully will get dry boxes by end of week.

I received @satph and @fourfarthing beers today all in one piece. The box, not so much.
box was damaged?

It had quite a large hole in it where it had been crushed. Luckily it was packed well so no issues with the contents!
Brilliant!
why thank you.
@CaddyWampus goodies arrived today. My kids were pumped about the candy and tattoos. Forgive the poor pour. I was a bit excited to crack this one as I made it last year.

I received @passedpawn package today.
BTW, did everyone receive mine? I have misplaced the receipt with all the tracking numbers on it.

Glad you liked it. I was afraid it was just a bit much but I really liked how it came out. I’ve had yours and it was great! I’m still fighting a gout episode but as soon as I’m cleared up I’ll be trying everyone else’s.
Here's where we are today. @satph and @j1laskey, overachievers. Also @CaddyWampus, thanks for that Christmas Cookie, I crushed that in no time while putting up Christmas lights outside this past wkend. Delish. I haven't opened any of the homebrews yet, probably wait until closer to Christmas when my youngest boy comes home from school. He and some school buddies just brewed their first beer up there. They are so excited. I'll share with him.
[edit] @fourfarthing is an overachiever too. He also sent an IPA that didn't come to school on picture day (I screwed up).

Woops - yes I did. When I get hobby2bmerry beers, I'll take one more pic with the whole group, incl ipa. Then post for posterity.
My shipments will be going on Friday.

BTW I'm in again next year for sure, and talked to a friend who is also interested. ...and he'll definitely come through.
From the rules...
How to not be a d*u$hb@g:
As much as it pains me to post this part, the simple fact is that, every single year this project has been run, there has been at least one brewer who has simply up and vanished, and at times has been shipped homebrew in good faith before their disappearance has become apparent.
Based on this, I wish to request that all participants be either relatively established HBT members (more than a year since joining) *or* be a paid (Supporting or Lifetime) member, *or*, have successfully participated in the previous year.

He doesn't post much, but he's been on HBT for years.
Yeah, I’m pretty bummed by all the West Coast drop outs. Worst year yet since I’ve been participating. I know some people have real life problems that change what they can do, and I empathize, but still feeling disappointed.

Agreed. Hope it's a COVID thing and will get better next year.
I’m shipping tomorrow (FedEx) so the West group should have my contribution by mid-late next week.
I empathize 100% if people have situations that keep them from finishing. But I cannot abide the lack of communications. Just dropping out without a comment in this thread is completely unacceptable.
For example, @wstbrewing and @CarLock Brewing. If you're wondering who Carlock is, she was a friend of wstbrewing. We broke the rules to let her into the group. Derp. I'd like to think this is a precautionary warning for next years' edition, but I think we are a bunch of big-hearted people that can't say no. Best to stick to the rules and ONLY IF there are still openings by some date, say April 1, then open it up.
I do like east coast / west coast split. Hope there are enough participants next year to repeat that.
Also, while I'm on a tear here, I want to commend @TBC for running the circus this year. Great job.
