I'm glad you liked it man! I figured it wouldn't be too hard to figure out who sent you the beer since I'm listed as being in Orlando LOL

HO HO HOLY $#!+ thank you Santa!! Was excited enough for the present I took the afternoon off. Everything is chilling in the garage. Definitely sampling that homebrew soon!! Cheers and thank you @fourfarthing
UPS kind of gave it away with your full name as the shipper. I looked at it and thought, man that looks familiar and then remembered your HBT user name. I'm excited to dig in to the rest this weekend!

LTF probably put in some personal stock to make it look bigger than it was, too.

Absolutely. Only half of those were in the box. The rest I took out of my fridge and set up next to them. You know “for science”

I meant to post this a few days ago, but the Metaform Blackberry Sour “IPA” was delicious.
These are all some really interesting - and really delicious - beers (and hard seltzers) so far. Next up is the Neveragain Extreme Triple Raspberry Gose.

HOMES makes great beer. Food isn't half bad either (looking at you @orionol73)I meant to post this a few days ago, but the Metaform Blackberry Sour “IPA” was delicious.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!! what was it that broke? Probably a stout. That's exactly why I ship a teensy bit more than the maximum allowed. Sorry @Thorrak

Insurance policy!!
“I hereby understand that beer and packing peanuts are not interchangeable”
I definitely included over 2oz of packing peanuts. They are clearly not interchangeable. I maybe used a shite box, though. This clearly explains the extra oz’ of the good stuff. What I really want to know is @SailorJerry , did the vac bag contain the beer, or is it a waste of time and money? I try to leave extra room in the bag for just such an occasion, but don’t know if it’s fruitless
i think he was referencing going over the 128 limit to make sure they received enough beer in the event of breakage, rather than saying you didn’t add enough peanuts.

The vac sealed bag contained most of the beer, but not all of it. Not sure if the broken glass punctured the bag and caused a leak? Must have...
The packaging was excellent, I'm surprised something broke. Heck, the box was in great shape too!

Maybe a few days late, but my secret Santa more than made up for it in VOLUME!
Looking forward to these, thank you!
Looking forward to these, thank you!
So ... it's not the length but the volume?

Not the size of the ship but the captain... something like that.

Just waiting for the happiest time of the year.
It's coming, very soon. Probably tomorrow. Right now, we're at Disney World.
