The next time I saw him, I'd ask them if there was some symbolism in the 5 beers... how random!!!
I'm for always sending a thank you note no matter what. But uh, yeah, that's weird, and also ew. To be honest I probably would just forget about it.
I wouldnt send anything! Its not really a gift....its just some drinks with one missing! I would just forget about it and if he brings it up just be like "I thought it was a joke!" ....thats so weird!
Ok, it's a little weird that one is missing, but maybe he was just trying to bury the hatchet and welcome you to the family in his own way. I don't drink beer either, but I'd still be psyched that someone found PINK beer!
I say he probably doesnt understand gift protocol well enough to know that he should be expecting a thank you card!
@crayfish: You a probably right.
I think he drank the 6th beer!
I think he was trying to support your engagement. He's a man...he tried...IMO, the effort was sweet.
@beekiss2: No, FI was confused too. He said that maybe Twin got thirsty one his was over.
I'm guessing someone brought it to his place and left it, he tried it, didn't like it, and is now regifting. But a ty note is still appropriate no matter how tacky. Sorry hun, but at least you've entertained us for a while with your story :0)
@bunnyfoofoo: I didn't think of that, he might have regifted it.
BTW: Twin does have a gf he lives with so even if he doesn't know any better I am sure she does. I know I would never let FI give 5 beers as an engagement gift to anyone.
That is hilarious and awesome! You've seen the 5-pack commercials right? LOL.
Totally send a thank you, but maybe leave something out (or cut a corner off) or something kind of "missing."
I actually think it is kind of funny! I wouldn't personally take it as being snarky or anything, but just funny.
Of Course there is a beer missing! I feel like if you're the type of person to give beer as an engagement gift, there should be a beer missing!
I would send a thank you note, and write it following the tone that he set. Funny and a bit sarcastic. (and would probably mention something like "hope you liked your beer as much as we did")
@ellabee: totally agree! and I love the leaving something out idea! lol
@jillieb: HAHA. I like that.
That is strange, but pretty funny. I would still make a thank you. Maybe something with a smiley face. Draw on the eyes, and use the 5 bottle caps to make the smile. If you think he was joking around/is good natured, I'd center the caps as if there were supposed to be 6, just to make light of the fact that 'something's missing.' Haha.
@NDBee: Twin is not a very good natured guy.
He even put it in a cute bag. lol. I think he was trying to be sweet. He is just a single guy, he doesnt know any better.
I guess if I was going to buy somebody pink beer that tasted like red hots, I might want to crack one to figure out whether it's disgusting or not...
I'm curious what the verdict was.
1) Yep, it's gross, get rid of it
2) Delicious! I think they'll really enjoy this 5 pack!
@enoh102: Thanks :)
@ellabee: Haha thanks, put the two ideas together and I think it would make one phenomenal card!!
As weird as the gift may be, it was still a gift. A thank you card is needed (even if he doesn't understand the ettiquette of getting one).
The missing bottle is a little perplexing, but why even try to understand the evil twin's motives!?! LOL
I mean, he honestly was trying. He put it in a cute little "Love" bag with a heart (a very unmanly thing to do) with tissue paper. Plus, it's PINK Beer. . . he probably doesn't even realize or remember that you don't care for beer. Guys see Pink and think that females will automatically love it.
I would guess that it was his peace offering to you in his own odd sort of way. Smile and graciously accept Weird 5 Pack O' Pink Beer.
Cheers to the Evil Twin!
Maybe thats all the store had left. Lots of people take single beers out of a 6 pack and when it gets to the last one on the shelf it could be missing a few.
Kinda a weird gift tho. IMO its more of a joke gift so I prob wouldnt send a TY.
My FH husband found this to be so funny and says he is going to do this to everyone for a gift...but of course he said and then he would give them a real gift.
@anwenning: HaHa. A few of my friends actually do refer to him as Evil Twin like on a soap opera.

Today my FI's twin brother just popped by with an engagement gift for us. I was shocked since we don't really like eachother. We got engaged in July and have very little contact with him since. Well, he stopped by and gave FI a very pretty gift bag with hearts on it he had put tissue in it and tied it with nice ribbons. FI didn't open it and left it for me to open when I got in. Well I open it and it was a 6-pack of some strange pink beer, actually it was only a 5-pack since one was missing. WTF?? I don't even drink beer. I didn't know if I should laugh or be insulted. I am at a loss for words....
Update: FI just tasted one, it tastes like Red Hots Candy.
