Let me know what you think of them, I personally enjoy Black-Top, Spotted Cow, and Moon-Man, Their fruit beers are fantastic too

Sure will! They were cold enough when they arrived I may have one with dinner tonight! Thanks! I was wondering if it came from you since I saw you posting it was scheduled for delivery and when it showed up I checked to see if you had your location on your profile.

On another note, I like that it came in a 6 pack with 6 different beers. Did you do that or is that how they came? I have seen a few six packs that do that, and I wish more would, as it allows you to try 6 beers without buying 6 6-packs!

A couple local liquor stores do mixed six packs, this is a wisconsin only brewery so it would be fitting that my new favorite craft beer cave does mixed sixers of this place. There are a few others in the area that let you mix and match too but they are quite a bit more expensive.

The doorbell rang while we were eating dinner and I said to my wife...who in the world is that? It was the UPS guy. Yea. My package from my secret santa, JimH. Thanks so much Jim. He sent 4 beers, all home brewed. Can't ask for anything better. The package included a bottle of his Silver City Sunset Amber, 'Murican Wheat, MOFF Diving IIPA, Blonde Ambition blonde ale. Can't wait to try these.

Thanks again Jim....and Merry Christmas to you.

I just got a nice package from MY secret santa AKA Jim Johnson, very generous, well packaged with no breakage, nice and cold and ready to drink. I do believe I'll have one right now. Thank you JJ.
