Okay, so my original gifter fell through. That is okay, things happen. I was a little bummed, but my giftee seemed to like my gift so overall I was still pleased with the exchange. Then something wonderful happened. Some magical re-gifter made this pleasant experience into AN AMAZING EPIC ADVENTURE OF BEER!

Now for story time to help explain why this gift is perfect for me in a way the legendary klynkitty may not even realize.

When I was 13 I moved away from 99% of my family, and moved from Hawaii to the Southern Hemisphere. I did not really get to talk to my two older brothers very much and as such we drifted apart. Eventually my oldest brother and I re-connected via mutual interests in comics/video games. My other brother and I never really did. That was until last year I took a trip to see my family for the first time in years. The brother that by now I didn't really know very well had recently gotten in to cooking very seriously... and into craft beers.

Up until that point the only beers I had were things like Coronas and Heinekens. He took me to a beer tasting event. 5 courses paired with 5 amazing beers. Ever since then I have been meaning to get into craft beers here in Australia so I can relate with my brother better. I had no idea until TODAY I could get them delivered to my house. As we are speaking, I am chatting online with my brother about beers. This is the first time in about 8 months we have had a conversation longer than a few minutes.

Thank you gifter. You are absolutely amazing

Hopefully this post makes sense.
