OK after way too long a wait, (been busy!) here are the pics from my T-Shirt Exchange haul.

I received a nice haul from DA RAIDERS. 2 shirts and a nice large bottle of IPA.

The first shirt is from In-and-Out Burger, which is a great shirt given the discussions about burgers here over the last year or so. Front, Back The back is one of the nicest pictures I've ever seen on a shirt from a fast-food type place. Unfortunately we did not stop at one on our trip last summer. (Although if we did, I might have picked up one of these shirts!!)

The second shirt is from The Sandpiper Lounge in Laguna Beach. Front, Back It turns out, after looking up the address, that this place is just down the street from my mother's sister's house (view from porch. I think you can see Sandpiper if you look closely!  :P ). I did stop in Laguna on my trip around the Western US last summer, but it was the 4th, and we didn't do much bar hopping.

The Trestle IPA is from Left Coast Brewing, and I look forward to trying it.

Overall a great haul, and as I mentioned in an earlier post, the wrapping and writing on the package (and letter) reminded me of my father's handwriting, originally making me think it was from my parents!

The T-Shirt exchange is one of my favorite parts of the FFA. Trying to explain the process to people when they see my shirts from everywhere is difficult, but once they get it, they think it's cool, too.

After this year, I think I may have to change my name to 'Last Minute Louie!'

Thanks Raiders and FFA!!

:D  

the sandpiper is dead center in that pic.  on the beach side of pch.  ask your mom's sister about the dirty bird....or your mom...if you dare. ;)  

 
We've made awesome progress this last week, but I know there are still some folks that are planning on sending next week. So we'll extend the deadline one more week to let everyone have the chance to get their packages out. After next week, we will see who hasn't gotten anything and we'll get the secondary packages prepared for them.

As always, please update the spreadsheet in the OP when you send or receive something.

 
My haul from BroncoFreak.  Dude - you killed it.  Shirts from Old Nation Brewing, Bloated Goat Saloon, and Cleary's Pub.  A Leinenkugel's pint glass, Federated Auto Parts koozie, and a mounted John Elway card.  Even got a personalized letter that gave background on all the places.  Very very cool.  

Love all the stuff - the shirts will be strong in my rotation.  

The Swag

Thank you so much again.

You bet!!  I love doing this every year. Sorry that all the shirts happened to be black (no color variety available unfortunately).  These three places, besides one other one are my main bar rotation.  When my other place gets their new shirts in, you'll be getting one of those too.

@Spin sent me a PM about a package heading my way shortly.. No worries if it'll be a tad late .

Love the W. Michigan shirts that playing4beer sent.  From my old stompin grounds.   :thumbup:

Package is enroute. Estimated delivery Thursday. Had to go with plan B when my original idea didn't pan out.

:lol:

Drank the jalapeño this afternoon after a sprint tri and yard work.  Excellent.  Different, I don't know if I'd make it a mainstay in my rotation, but am glad to have tried it.  

Had the tea pale ale last night. Outstanding and would make it part of the rotation.  The orange is present enough just to make the beer refreshing.  

Thanks again @Worm!

 
Here is my haul from @Peak Freaking awesome! I really like the shirts - they fit perfectly. I assume the polo is from Peak's workplace - I'm adding it into my work shirt rotation. Can't wait to try the beers too. A coffee mug thrown in, as well as a bandana thingy. 

I think I got the most original item ever - a Cincinnati Reds Pez dispenser. That's awesome!

Thanks, mi amigo! Homerun!

@Softballguy got it!!! Awesome haul..love the shirts (one with a bottleopener sewn in), the Green 19 IPA from Titletown Brewery (looks too nice to drink), the Arty's old fashioned and the koozies, even Da Raidaaass one :thumbup:

Will put up photos of everything tomorrow!!

Thanks again!!!

Glad you like them. The Hop Haus is a brewery I just discovered this past June at a Beer, Bacon, BBQ fest near Madison. I liked their beer so much I bought a shirt for both of us.  And I wanted to get you some Karben4 Fantasy Factory and a shirt to go with it (cat firing a gun while riding a fire-breathing unicorn), but they were sold out so I ended up just doing the beers of WI. Green 19 (named for Rodgers' cadence before the snap) is one of my favorite local IPAs, and no booze package from WI would be complete with out the staple WI drink, the brandy old fashioned sweet. Order one of these anywhere else in the country and you're bound to be asked, "are you from Wisconsin?"

And as a lifelong Raiders fan living in Wisconsin sending items to a Broncos fan in MI, I just couldn't help myself with the koozie.

Just wish I had a bigger box laying around... would have sent more booze. :banned:

My shirt from the Bloated Goat that I received a couple years ago is one of my favorites. It has lasted really well.

This site has a bunch of different shirts, a mug and even a BEJ Thong but no hats. I love FBG as much as anyone, but I can't picture too many mood killers bigger than my lady friend sportin' a Black Eye Joe down there

Maybe this could be the new gold standard for hot chicks. "She's so hot she'd make a BEJ thong look sexy"

I like the golf shirt, although it would be better with a smaller logo.

Glad you like it bud!   I knew you liked,  but also sent work place shirts so I thought I'd give back with one from mine.  Madtree is a popular brewery here in Cincy, but I figured the best swag would be the pez. Who doesn't like Pez?  

 
My awesome haul from @Softballguy

HAUL

Shirts from HopHaus Brewing and one that lists the craft breweries of Wisconsin, complete with built in bottle opener sewn in the bottom edge. My Wisconsin in-laws will accept having me around now with this handy gadget..heh heh.  These new additions will definitely be high in the t-shirt rotation.

Also a couple Green 19 IPAs from Titletown Brewery in GBAY to partake of (already had one and it was awesome) and a bottled Old Fashioned (never knew this type of thing existed)...saving this.

Wrapping up with a Brew City Milwaukee "Here For the Beer" koozie and a Raiders koozie (LOLZ love it)

Hopefully when the shirts from the one other place I wanted to get a shirt from and send to my stalkee Rail come in, you'll be getting one also gb....

Thanks again!!

Awesome package received today from @Frank Drebin. Sweet comfortable tees from Market Garden Brewery(on left) and Nano Brew in Cleveland. Beers are a Session IPA from Great Lakes Brewing and a Mango IPA from Market Garden, looking forward to trying them. Nice work Frank, much appreciated! :hifive:

Glad you like 'em. Nano Brew and Market Garden are actually owned by the same group. As you can probably guess by the name, Nano does more small batch stuff. They use it to experiment on stuff that they might later put into larger production at Market Garden. Both are located in a booming neighborhood on the West Side called Ohio City. It's also home to the West Side Market, the oldest market in Cleveland. 100+ vendors full of awesome meat, produce, desserts and other ethnic deliciousness. Market Garden just built a new production facility and started bottling 4 of their beers. I had hoped to get you a shirt from Great Lakes, but forgot they were closed on Sundays when we made our last trek to the west side. (I'm an east sider)

I've really been enjoying the fact that so many breweries are making good session IPAs. It's nice to be able to drink more than a couple without passing out on the couch! That mango IPA is pretty mild and doesn't really have a heavy mango presence, just a hint (not like Ballast Point Even Keel Mango, which knocks you upside the head with it at the end). The session from GLB is just an awesome example of the style. I hope you like them.  :banned:

Apologies for the really late picture posting, but thanks to @Skinny for the T-Shirt and Friends haul!  Great job - totally digging the First Avenue T for my music "venue" rotation.  The beer on vacation shirt goes without saying and never thought of going the charity shirt angle (note to self: send a donation).

Can never have enough music or pint glasses, so those will come in handy as well.

The haul (my first time linking a picture - hope I did it right).

Hopefully I'll be able to send you a 2nd shirt that I originally had planned to go along with the other shirt.  When it still wasn't in, I opted to add a pint glass for now.  Glad you liked it :D

 
Received some top shelf Sierra Nevada swag from GB @ProstheticRGK.  T shirt, 4 IPAs, 4 wheats, beer brittle (nom nom nom), lip balm, mustard!, and soap!!!  Soap smells amazing I'm not gonna lie and I tend to stink.

Can't wait to chill the beers and pop some tops.  Thanks so much GB!

I love this tradition.  Too fun.  Thanks for running @kutta.
