2023 FotD Secret "Santa" ("Cupid"?) Beer Swap

[MajorJC]

I woke up today at 1630 (night shift) to find my cupid box in my chair.

My Cupid sent me 222oz. of excellent looking beer. I had to get ready for work so I did a quick unboxing and snapped a picture to post here.

my cupid box

I also want to add that I feel like I've seen this box before, I distinctly remember getting beers before in a "Hello Fresh" box and then shipping more beers back out again in the same box. I don't remember who I sent them to though. But I'm sure there are more than one "Hello Fresh" Boxes making the rounds. I think maybe I'll initial the inside of my next outgoing box though just in case it shows up again. LOL

 

[wepeeler]

Box came in today! I have a sneaking suspicion who it's from, but I'll wait to be surprised! Thanks dude! Hoping these mushrooms aren't too magical lol (I'm also 21 cents richer!)

 

[TwistedGray]

I find that the best way to consume mushroo

 

[orionol73]

My box of beer, perfectly to the quantity rule, arrived and I was able to get it today!!

We’ve been traveling a lot over the past few weeks, but I came home to a lovely box of beer yesterday — and a perfectly timed T-Shirt (that looks awesome):

I should know who sent this to me, but unfortunately I’m drawing a blank at the moment…

 

[ferm.adventures]

Sorry, I forgot to post this, because I thought I did, but beers were received a little while ago! Many thanks to Cupid!

 

[Thorrak]

Happy Valentine's Day! As of now, I show the following people have received their secret santa package:

@JCasey1992
@fourfarthing
@Brew_Dude41

After a 1,200+ mile drive (21 hours) home from Tampa, I was pleasantly surprised by my secret Santa/Cupid today! I’ll be looking forward to enjoying some of them later this week!
Thank you!

And you wanted more glassware, pfffffft

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

What a way to end the week!! Out of town for testing and just came home to the most beautiful Santa Cupid box a guy could ask for!!

Nice assortment! @Thorrak's head is exploding in 3...2...1.

I only count 128 glorious ounces! shhhhh.

 

[Thorrak]

It's crazy what AI did to the real image:

...adding all that extra beer that clearly wasn't part of the shipment

That is at least 124 oz. I think.

That’s gold!

I appreciate you!

 

[Rish]

Any word on who the Santa/Cupids are, yet?

 

[fourfarthing]

Any word on who the Santa/Cupids are, yet?

Agreed, I have shipped, so I assume everyone else has.

 

[Thorrak]

Agreed, I have shipped, so I assume everyone else has.

Not quite. There is one last one outstanding. Regardless, I think that should be delivered by tomorrow, so I'll post the list tomorrow afternoon.

 

[jerbrew]

Got one! Great box. Sou pickle beer is oddly intriguing.

 

[jerbrew]

i still owe some swag, didn’t have room in the box. Ordering delivery today since it doesn’t have beer it’s easier.

 

[Brew_Dude41]

Got one! Great box. Sou pickle beer is oddly intriguing.

I imagine that you are going to experience 2 distinctly different ends of the spectrum between that and the Cherry ale next to it.

Should do those back to back.

 

[Thorrak]

As somoene who once uh, accidentally only the pickle part of a pickleback, I approve wholeheartedly.

With that said, I believe this round is now officially complete. List of santas/cupids will be coming momentarily!

 

[Thorrak]

Personally, I want to give a special thanks to @orionol73 for the fantastic box of beer. We've been in the process of preparing for a move at the end of next month, and the packing of more boxes than I care to admit were fueled by the beer he provided!

 

[pshankstar]

Thank you @Thorrak for running this year after year! I always look forward to it.
Cheers everyone!!

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

Thank you @Thorrak for running this year after year! I always look forward to it.
Cheers everyone!!

I second this comment. Thank you @Thorrak for running another stellar round!

 

[ferm.adventures]

Thanks to @Thorrak for organizing this and to @MajorJC for sending a great box of beers! Cheers!

 

[Thorrak]

Running this is fun! I always get some good beer, as well.

Thank you again to everyone for participating - I'm looking forward to the next* round of FotD!


* Or the one after that... we're moving in the near future, so trying to drink our way through the backlog at the moment!

 

[pshankstar]

Thank you secret Santa / Cupid (@jerbrew)!! I found this on my doorstep this morning. Another Pure Project t-shirt, a wooden bottle opener and a sticker! You’re too kind and I’m very appreciative!!

 

[TwistedGray]

Such a fun trade. Here is looking forward to this year. I'll remind you starting in October @Thorrak

 

[Thorrak]

Early reminders are always smart!

The past six months were very busy -- but everything should be long since settled by Santa time next year.
