I'm glad it all made it, I got worried with the delay. The three growlers each have a beer with a tiny amount of reviews, but are all interesting in their own way. The Bronx Pale has become a go to beer for me, they're tiny (two guys) but growing fast. Boris the Spider is out of another tiny NY brewery and is a delicious RIS. The Kelso is really really interesting, not like anything I've ever had before, I hope you like it. FYI the Bronx and Kelso were filled last week so should be drank soon, the Spider Bite was filled last week too, but via a counter pressure system so that should be good for a while (a few weeks to a few months).

The Pretty Things is brewed actually 200 miles on the dot from my apartment, so that worked out nicely.

I couldn't find any really crazy big want beers that are made close to home so I tried to give a good selection of the wide variety of options we have here. Hope you enjoy!

 

The Bronx pale is in the fridge now. I'm sure it'll be gone before the weekend is! The only beers in there I've tried before are the Tröegs, but both are welcome additions to the fridge since we don't get them here. The Kelso sour quad sounds interesting, but I'll need to get some friends over for that one. My wife won't touch anything sour!

Thanks again. I hope boxes will show up soon for the other three guys.

EDIT: I gotta say I'm jealous you can get growler fills in your Whole Foods. In NC, only breweries can fill growlers.

 

I didnt ship the 2nd box yet, I think flash froze was what I should have said in a previous post. Stoffers is a local company, they have french bread pizza. Sorry for the delay on the 2nd box, oh well at least you received the beer already.

 

So who is left on here that has yet to receive a box?

 

Me, RocPorterFanatic and CWBlues

 

Hopefully whoever still needs to ship makes the boxes epic for being late

 

Mine was late but pretty bad ass! Drinking Capt Lawrence IIPA right now.

 

So, it sounds like being one of the last may benefit you after all

Better late than never!

 

And then there were two.

 

Get this man (or woman) some beer! If someone flakes, I got your back.

 

Seconded

 

Any shipping updates today???

 

Sooo, is Cuzco gonna have drinking partners tomorrow night or not?

 

Those shrimp crackers were awesome. My wife nearly threw up when she tried one, but I loved them.

 

Just to let everyone in on it: I've gotten a BM from the guy shipping to me. He kinda let me in on what he has planned (without ruining any surprises), so I think we've got something worked out. I'm heading out of town today, and won't be back to my apartment until Thursday, but I'm hoping to have this (and a few others from trades) waiting for me when I get back!
