When my mail came this morning, I thought I was going to have to wait until Monday to receive my gift. Then, as I was getting ready to go to have a drink with my wife, a FED-EX truck pulled up and delivered this!

I couldn't believe how awesome my Santa was! I was so excited that I reverted to kid mode and threw the card with the message aside as I played with everything in the box. It wasn't until I got back home from the bar, that I read the note Santa had included, "I hope you enjoy this beer kit. It is my favorite malty beer. I also included a gift card to Northern Brewer to help you get started with your all grain brews." HOLY WAH! A gift card, too?! According to the invoice, the gift card is being sent separately, and I can't wait to use it to help me get on the AG train!

Secret Santa, I thought you were awesome for sending me a beer kit, but you truly went above and beyond. Thank you very much, and happy brewing in 2012!
