    We should start including a packing list so brews don't go missing.

    I've actually done that on occasion. Might start doing it all the time.

    With the way things are going with this BIF, I might do the same.

    I don't know Western Mass at all, but if you are anywhere near Tree House Brewing I hear it's worth a visit. They are only open Thursday evening and Saturdays.
    How far into Central Mass are you coming? (Worcester area or staying farther west?)

    You guys need to go with USPS flat rate boxes. They actually handle with care when it says fragile and only takes 2 business days to get where it's going. All my trade partners can vouch for my boxes. I lost 1 can, one time but that is because I tried squeezing it in and knew better

    Took a page from my sender's book and threw one in the fridge immediately to cool while I helped my girlfriend with her car.

    Rob/Keyes88 nailed it with this box. Lots of stouty goodness mixed with bourbon barrels, a touch of IPA, and all great beers from the northeast I've never had the pleasure of tasting. Looking forward to enjoying these with friends in the future. The colletion of Exit series beers is awesome, and BCBS with BCBCS, I can't believe the generosity here. Thank you very much to Rob, and a big thank you to Cuzco for running this BIF.

    Before getting into the next round, I wonder if any of the Indiana/Michigan/Chicago/Wisconsin folk would be interested in a locals-for-locals trade with this NYer. I've been flipping out over the beer **** on these 46 pages, and a road trip to the mid-west is not in the cards.

    Sorry for the delay in response guys. I had a very busy day... I only had enough time to open that box and take pics with a quick post. But, it looks like we lost some bottles either by breakage or Fedex jackin shit. I BM'd whyhellomichael and I shared info with him. no stress here. I do feel bad for my sender. I will enjoy what I have and be stoked to try that Gingerbread Stout! Cheers! And this would also explain the delay in the shipment itself.

    That might explain the smokey woody smell in the bag the bottles were in... it they were barrel beers anyway.

    Seems like only 10 boxes left floating out there... 3 people have stated they are shipped in the thread. Cuzco should also upload photos of his boxes :stuck_out_tongue:
