It had been awhile since I received a PR package of beer with the type of flair that those from Shock Top usually come in—but today I received a bottle of their latest offering coming out, Honey Bourbon Cask Wheat. I’ll drink and write about the beer itself in a later post, and just let the pictures of the unboxing speak for themselves.

Well, one additional note: In case you were wondering, no, I can’t re-use that barrel for liquid; there’s a hole in the bottle and no way to re-seal the lid on top.
