I was just minding my business, drinking through all my Prairie (Bible Belt, Bomb, Standard, Noir, Coffe Noir, Vanilla Noir...gonna be a great night) and then the doorbell rings. What's that...a late night delivery I had completely forgotten was landing today!!!
Thanks so much Schemy!. I couldn't be happier.
First: a giant pile of stickers/coasters - some from breweries I have never heard of that I will be researching (like Dangerous Man...digging the logo)
Next - the main haul:
2 home brews (with a handy explanations) - White IPA - cascade in the boil and dry hopped with chinook - sounds dank and piney - awesome. And Funk Sirens IPA - session IPA, hopburst w/ Meridian and Brett Brux fermentation. I've only had one funky IPA and it was the tits so I am super excited for this.
An Infusion growler filled with Butcher Block Brown (if you want this refilled and sent back to start a growler trade just pm me and I will be happy to set something up)
Boulevard Smokestack glass - I have many of the smokestack series in my closet and now I have #properglassware - bada$$.
Zipline Brewing t-shirt. Really cool brewing blueprint design on this. Love it.
An sadly...the fallen soldier:
From the notes this was a growler of Zipline New Zeland IPA. I tried to pour it...
but it just tasted like newspaper so I had to dump it. Opened the bag to see if anything could be saved...completely shattered.
Despite UPS trying to rain on my parade (I blame thatjonguy

) I am totally thrilled with this box - thanks again Scott! Cheers!
