Awesome is a good descriptor for what awaited me! First of all, my Santa has some mad packing skills that deserve respect off the bat. Not only were my awesome local-to-Baton Rouge Louisiana beers wrapped in bubble paper, but they were hermetically sealed in high quality zip lock bags in case of rough handling or depressurization during air transport. Right on, R.G.! But, enough with the finer details she had a handle on. I'm looking forward to hand selected local beer (including German[!!]); trying beer out of a can that doesn't appear to be a '40' or 'fowty'; exotic spices enjoyed by the local indigenous population; and "Coffee and Chicory", to be enjoyed as soon as I figure out what chicory is. This might just be enough to keep me on good behavior for another year-- thank you, Santa!
