Post a picture of your Latest Beer Haul (2012-2014)

Thanks Jeff for the Surly Darkness! Greatly appreciated. The rest picked up at Central Market

 

Maybe it only refers to their temperatures as an "it's out of our hands" thing. I know when my box showed up on Wednesday the contents were a BIT warm since it was over 95* here. The thing that actually made me laugh was the "PROTECT FROM HEAT" sticker on the box...can't blame em for trying.

 

I wonder how quickly grassrootsVT would hit the ceiling if he saw that an HF growler was shipped to South Africa.

Love that haul though.

 

The Coma has a killer citrus, piney smell; went back to my local shop for a few more after having one yesterday. The obligatory Pliney. Not overly-enthusiastic about the Brux, but who am I to say no? Wolf Among Weeds; always down for a new IPA.

 

Special thanks to beertunes for the intra-state trade (and extras!):

 

I hope Darkstar finds its way into some cans in the future as well.

 

He should be proud that his beer is enjoyed in the other corner of the world just after 17 days filled at the source.

 

You win first shipping brag on BA. Onion for you.

 

Yep, I should win the prize as the BA who sent the package furthest. Next shipment will be to Tibet

 

Haha my friend and I got two growlers shipped to Guatemala. One filled with Nor, the other with Double Citra. They were both amazing.

 

Nothing major, just a few things I grabbed on my way home.

 

My little detour for lunch always make my day.

 

Everything traveled safely back from VA....and, yes, I can only get Two Hearted when I travel out of state.

 

I would hope that it doesn't upset him!

I have already had the beer (Harlan IPA) and it was fantastic. I fully appreciate that IPA growlers probably shouldn't be shipped all the way to South Africa, but it is the only way I can taste good IPAs as they are virtually impossible to find here. Further, if I feel that a beer has deteriorated due to shipping, I will not review it, nor mention it on BA, nor allow it to influence my opinion of the brewery in any way!

I trust my trading partners to get any IPA to me as fresh as is possible (Harlan was only 17 days old!!!!) and I will always drink the beer on the day/day after it arrives.

I think the far bigger "sin" is someone who could drink the beer fresh and lets it sit in his fridge for a few weeks! At least we have done everything within our power (short of shipping it in a mini fridge ) to enjoy the beer as fresh as possible.

 

I had a brandy eclipse last weekend and it was phenomenal. Enjoy those.

 

Don't tell him what to do with his beers. That's his decision!

 

Small haul from today.

 

there'd be nothing wrong with posting a pic of all the empties! Let us see 'em!
