Alright, here we go! I got a sweet box of beers on my porch last night. I tried the kriek last night. Everything arrived nicely chilled since it is 7 degrees here. One small casualty (monks cafe, I think) despite everything being well wrapped. Luckily, that one has decent distro here. Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to getting into the rest of these.

You're welcome.

That's too bad about the monk's, it seemed like such a strong bottle. At least it's distributed there; I know it's not rare but I picked that up from the actual Monk's Cafe (headed there now actually). Maybe it froze and burst....

I'm glad everything else made if, and the break didn't affect the delivery. I had a couple of glasses of KBS before I packed up and forgot to bag everything.

How did you like the Kriek? I haven't had one in awhile.

Totally possible, since it had to sit out there for a bit before I got home to bring it inside. It wasn't just a broken piece, the whole thing was busted up, but was luckily contained by the bubble wrap. The double box saved it. No wetness on the outside box. The packing and inside box absorbed most of it.

I enjoyed it. The sour was still pretty subtle, but present. A little funk in there too. It was nice. I really loved the aroma too. It hit me as soon as I opened the bottle. Good stuff.
 
Why whoever could have shipped me such a lovely package :p ! It came in yesterday and I already enjoyed the Prairie Standard. I've only ever had Merica before this, these guys are killin it. Thanks so much!

Love the glass by the way.

Looks like Canti killed it again!
 
I think there's at least two Santas in Oregon participating. I don't think this one is mine though because FedEx and UPS don't show anything coming my way...
 
Sorry man. Tracking hasn't even updated. Hopefuly the last minute additions make up for the delay. Sorry dude.
 
Indytrucks hooked it up! Ive been looking for Westbrook Gose for awhile now, now I need to find more it because it's delicious. I'm also super excited about the Jester King picks. Thanks man!

I feel like a cheapass after seeing this package! At least my recipient seemed happy. Nice set...

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks again! Also, is it pretty easy to get Westbrook Gose there? If so, we should do a side trade in a couple of weeks.

Cheers.

I had to trade to get the Westbrook, unfortunately they do not distribute to TX. I am down to my last few cans, and its soooo good. Glad you liked it.
