That's me! PM me Caleb's address so I can ship some goods.
Ok I just sent everyone a PM. Let me know if it doesn't show up and I can resend it. Thanks, gang!

Thanks @Helly for taking care of that for me, and thanks @Pyg for setting it up this year. Special thanks to unc and vandy though!

@drcaleb what would be your first and second choice for styles? So many good breweries sold here in Minneapolis, want to send you the best of each style.

You and I should coordinate
Surly is the easy one...Steel Toe, Indeed and Bent Paddle are some of my favorites to ship. I really like Insight and East Lake right now. Maybe let me know so we don't double up?
So many good beers to be found around here. I don't know how I'll ever pick just 2...
Plus I'm going to Siciliano's Market tonight. The sky's the limit there.

Yeah I'm thinking 2 beers isn't worth it.

Good call. I'm a big fan of Steel Toe and Town Hall (of course Surly & Indeed too). Haven't tried much Insight or East Lake yet.
Just realized you're in South Mpls. I'm by 48th & Chicago. Do you shop at South Lyndale liquors?

I'm in the Nokomis/Minnehaha area...off of 50th and 34th. If I don't walk up to McDonald's right in the hood I usually stop at Elevated on Hiawatha (outstanding selection and a great build your own sixer!).
How about I grab Surly and you can have Steel Toe and Indeed? Or vice versa, just let me know.
Sigh, so many choices it's hard to only choose a couple huh? :rockin:
Greatest place on earth. We're headed to GR tonight but I don't think I'm gonna be able to fit in Sicilianos.
Where you going? I might go to any of the stores. Haven't been to Gravel Bottom yet. Might check that out.

Sounds good. I like Elevated a lot too. Also like Falls. If you haven't been to South Lyndale I highly recommend checking it out. Probably a larger beer selection than Elevated, plus they get a lot of rare spirits and great wines... although a little further out from you.
Gonna go out to dinner and take the kids to the children's museum. That's the plan anyway. Might go to Hopcat, we haven't decided for sure. We'll be the ones with two youngsters and a baby if you head down there at all

The children's museum is awesome! I'd probably enjoy it more than my teenager now, though.
I should see if the Griffins are playing tonight...
Nope.
Ended up with dinner at GR Brewing Co. We didn't make the children's museum. Apparently discount night during spring break week is slightly popular. Lineup out the door about 100 deep when we got there. Went to free admission night at the art museum instead. Unfortunately the Where the Wild Things Are exhibit doesn't open til tomorrow.
Too Bad. I decided to check out Gravel Bottom Brewing and Supplies. Got a few things I needed for the Homebrew League I signed up for and then ordered in a pizza and had a flight of beers. Really, pretty solid beers. They are still pretty new, but seem to have the basic process down and are working on water adjustments to improve the different styles even more.
Beers probably won't go out until early next week. I forgot to pack them up yesterday and we'll be heading to Petosky after work tonight.

Just touching base to let you know that although I'm slacking getting your beer out (just ask anybody, I lose a lot and ship a lot of beer and pride myself on quick shipping ) ...couple of things came up this past week.. wisdom teeth out was one thing
I should be able to get everything packed up and shipped the first of next week at the latest. Thanks for your patience and congrats again.

Hey all, sorry I've been out of touch. Work has been stupid busy. No worries on anyone rushing to get beer out, I've got a fridge full. I'm doing my best to clear out inventory but it seems to be a futile effort.
@Helly, your rediculous shipment arrived safe and sound. Wasn't expecting to need a sherpa to carry it all inside. Thanks for the haul!

Helly destroys porches just for fun. I have a couple pickups to make and I'll get your box on a truck. Congrats again!
Just trying to build some good beer karma Maybe next year I won't lose the lead in the final 4. I hope you enjoy them all.

Next year I am making my picks and then picking the opposite at the last minute.
Baylor & Michigan State are dead to me.
We don't speak those names in my house nor will my kids ever attend those school!
I hope my box made it intact. If it did, then I hope you'll excuse what might be a ridiculous amount of packing material. I don't ship a lot of beer, but had one break once and try pretty hard to prevent it now.

@drcaleb Apologize that I still haven't shipped! We had our first child right before the final 4. Been a little hectic over here and beer has taken a back seat to this adorable little terror. I'll make it up to you with a porch bomb sometime soon
I saw the email go out. Anyone here interested in doing it again this year?

I opened up 2017, because I was filling out a bracket. It seems I can not really be interested in the tourney without having a bracket to yell about.
due to work obligations I am not able to coordinate invites and follow up on people paying their beer to the winner.
I am fine with just doing brackets no pay out, or if anyone wants to facilitate and give out the password, fine by me!
If we get anyone interested besides you and I then I can do it. I'll check back later today.
