We are at around 13,000 miles traveled from 6 shipments so far this summer. The list of beers includes Bells, Bear Republic, Rogue, Harpoon, Dogfish head, Alesmith, Green Flash, Smuttynose, Victory, Middle Ages, Lost Abbey, Russian River, Stone, Weyerbacher, Avery, Duck Rabbit...

Only halfway done, and the beers continue to multiply. Can't wait to see the next shipment. This is my first BIF, and you guys have made some of the most amazing shipments I've ever seen. If all BIF's are as good as this one, then I can't wait to be in the next.

Cheers~

I can tell you that this package will be going to a coastal area that has seen the Four Seasons. I'm sure the Boss will approve of this shipment!

1st Shipment

2007-05-23T20:08:00.000-07:00

Well I dropped off the first package of the summer. It is going to someone on the list, could it be you?

I have included a sampling of some of the best beers in the world. Like, Busch, Natural ICE, Michelob Ultra, and even Bud ICE. But seriously, I feel like I have sent a few beers that the recipient would like, as well as a few on their want list. I certainly hope you enjoy them sir.
