    Of course i want you to ship now because I already received my box. If you do, what ever extras you do grab, you can always send them to me...but then again, I can go there too.

    Do whatever you think is best, I'm fairly certain your target will want the best you have to offer but that is all up to you

    I think the rules say something about shipping within a week, so you're good in my book if you send out in the middle of next week... not that the rules have been followed to the T or anything anyways.

    A rule that needs to be created though is POSTING A PHOTO OF YOUR HAUL within a reasonable amount of time... 24 HOURS would seem reasonable, but SOME MIGHT THINK 12 hours would be more than sufficient... and yes, I'm having difficulty controlling THE VOLUME OF MY VOICE.

    I agree...however, shouldn't it be 12 hours or less? I firmly believe you should take a pic of the box the same day it is received. You are obviously taking the beer out and making sure you are chilling or cellaring it properly. Snap a pic before throwing it in the fridge.

    Since everyone wants a pic...and you guys are cool...I will post this haul here instead of the main hauls thread!

    Let me know if you can find any Coconut anywhere. Maybe it's in the barrel character from the w00tstout -- I've not yet opened any of mine. But drink that R&R now, because once the hops fall off I can't imagine it's anything but dreadful. A few days ago, though, it was quite fine. :slight_smile:

    Had 2 yesterday of the R&Rs. Quite nice. Started a little too cold and didn't get the strong coconut right off the bat, but once it started to warm up it came out.

    Well while we are waiting I will also share a pic of another trade I just completed this week with you guys instead of the general thread.

    as promised, here is what i picked from the box!

    [​IMG]

    IPA: New England Brewing Ghandi Bot (WANT!)
    Wildcard: Hill Farmstead Arthur (WANT!)
    Stout: Oscar Blues Ten Fidy (WANT!)

    Amazing box full of wants, and I hated to pass up on the stuff that i didnt pick, thank you so much Don! I was jealous when the last box had a bunch of bottles from the bruery, but this is even better, these cans and bottles will probably not last very long

    I will pack the box up and get it out to the next recipient sometime this week.

    Exactly what I had hoped for. The 2 wants you had in your profile plus a hill farmstead. Enjoy!!

    Great beers!

    If anyone needs a Bruery trustee for next year, or for this years BT release, let me know! :slight_smile:

    i was looking into possibly buying one of their memberships, but am i right that the membership fee does not include any beer, and you have to pay for that on top of the membership fee?

    The membership includes beer/merchandise roughly = to the cost of the membership. The list for next years RS isn't out yet, but this years membership included:

    -- 1 bottle of Melange #3 (Initial Package, January 2013 pickup)
    -- 1 bottle of White Chocolate (Initial Package, January 2013 pickup)
    -- 1 bottle of Otiose (Initial Package, January 2013 pickup)
    -- 1 bottle of Chocolate Rain (Available in March 2013)
    -- 2 bottles of Black Tuesday (Available in late October 2013)
    -- 2 bottles Barrel Aged 5 Golden Rings (Available in December 2013)
    -- 1 bottle of Mystery Beer #1 (Mystery Release Date)
    -- 1 bottle of Mystery Beer #2 (Mystery Release Date)
    -- 1 piece of high quality merchandise

    Other Perks:

    -- Guaranteed access to many releases throughout the year
    --15% off: Allocations, other purchases through The Bruery website, purchases at the Tasting Room and when purchasing Bruery beer at The Bruery provisions.
    -- Access to special growler fills, special flights, and Reserve Society events
    -- First right of refusal to join the 2014 Reserve Society
    -- Climate controlled storage of your online allocation purchases until March 31st, 2014

    So it included 10 bottles, a hoodie and advance sales of all of the Bruery's limited releases (except those that are Hoarders only). Hope this helps. The $295 is just a start though. You get your money back with the initial package, but it's easy to spend $1000 or more throughout the year on the other releases.​
