@jschott75 Looks like delivery is tracking for Friday currently. Will be a nice surprise if it sticks.
To my target- I was waiting on a crowler from FL to complete your box but my buddy let me know it seemed like it was leaking so I'm going to put another WW sour in it's place instead and get it out this week. Look forward to a box of FL and NC beers. To my sender- I think I am on to you and will be looking forward to a box on Friday even if it's all barley wines.
Ok, I told you all that @BartS sent an awesome box, now here it is: First up, the hops Pliny the elder - Always a welcome sight in my fridge, love this beer! Blind pig - When I lived on the west coast I could barely ever find blind pig, so its a real treat to get it Shuttle bunny - New brewery for me, but I've been wanting to try them, excited for this one Sour and funk Another world - Loved the one rare barrel beer I've had, excited for this one! Forces unseen - Another great sounding sour, looks like it's right up my alley Cellarman - Woohoo, I had forgotten to put this on my wants list, but this was a major want for me Farmhouse noir - Really excited to try a few more beers from SARA, this sounds great And all the others Damnation - I've only had this once a number of years ago, glad I'll get a chance to revisit Bretta rose - Sounds delicious, I love fruited sours Helldorado - Loved everything I've had from firestone walker, no doubt this will be awesome as well Parabola - Can't wait to crack open this awesome stout Bo and Luke - Want, this sounds great, really excited for this monster Coffee and cigarettes - Want, I can be picky about porters, but the description of this one sounded too good Vanilla noir - Another want! I've really enjoyed the few prairie beers I've had, cant wait to try this one The swag These glasses are awesome, they're going to get some good use on these rare barrel beers among others! I actually have this shirt already, but I love it so I'm happy to have a spare. The group shot Wow, what an incredible set of beers! I accidentally didn't get the two wrapped beers into the shot, but one looks suspiciously like a russian river bottle, and the other is ominously labeled over 10% (ha, originally thought the % symbol was a 'y'). Those will get taken down shortly, and these hops wont last long. Thanks again @BartS, this is an incredible box full of wants, should've been wants, and old favorites, really exceptional!
to my sender: i suddenly have to skip town for the next couple of days; if some shipment is to arrive at my doorstep today-sunday, i can get a buddy to take it in (or else it may sit outside in 100degree weather for the wknd, ugh). just a heads up. cheers, everyone!
Just had a touch down here that looks like a @beluga92 whale... hope to get into that soon... Also, I think we should have waited on the Murder, Marry, Screw LIF until page 187...
Round 4 box tracking for delivery on Friday to someone who might need to have a buddy bring it in for them...
Cheers and sorry again the FW beers came without the cardboard boxes - FedEx tossed them after the original box leaked from the broken bottle.
@Yourahoser Is this still open? Think I may be late to the party but just in case: Murder... No Rules Marry... Enlightened Despot Screw... Nocturne Chrysalis Thanks!
I gave up on them a while back because it was always crapping out. Give Photobucket a shot. Very easy with their app!
Yeah, I know, not sure about that one. Local facility send me all the beers back (minus the broken one and the FW cardboards) in a new box, with every bottle individually and professionally re-wrapped by them and further insulated with ton of cushion paper and packaging peanuts. The bummer here was losing 2 shipping days and some nice & fresh hops, but the positive experience was my ability to re-use the shipping label for free and utilizing a bigger and much safer box from FedEx. Re-using of that tracking number put me in the dark about shipping progress since it wasn't providing me with any info on where the box was. Overall, this could have been a whole lot worse.
Man, I figured it out!! Went with photobucket as a backup, thanks @SRBush1974 ..... Anyway, my box from @beluga92 landed hard this morning and it did not disappoint! Definitely in the running for best box of Round 4 IMHO.... Big bootles: Trillium - Apricot Stonington (never heard of this but I hear their wild brews are great, sounds perfect for summer) Night Shift - Apple Brandy BA El Lechedor (Big Want, love AB anything I'm sure.) Trillium Collab - Outside the Lines (another new one, Imp stout with coffee, vanilla and spice is already a big winner) Trillium - Heavy Mettle (another want, my wife will be beating me up for 50% of all hops, which is just fine by me!) Smaller bootles: Lawson's - Rum BA Fayston Maple Imp Stout (any Fayston has been on my want list for a long time, awesome. Rum=Good) Lawson's - Maple BA Fayston Maple Imp Stout (see above, big want, send the maple stuff to me anytime) Brick and Feather - In Absentia IPA (new brewery, 7.2% goodness from what I see online... will go bye-bye tonight I hope) Prairie - Brett C (another new one, I'm sure this one rocks) Dem Cans: Trillium - Mosaic DH Fort Point (my first Trillium cans, these 2 are the perfect start - great brew) BLDG8 - The IPA (another new brewery, excited to try all these new hops!) Trillium - Mettle (another new beer, can't get enough Trillium right?) Alchemist - Heady Topper (this is easily in my Top 10 of beers. Love this stuff, all day) TreeHouse - Alter Ego (have only had once and thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope to get a bigger pour this time!) TreeHouse - Bright (new one, have seen lots of people check into this with drool hanging out of my mouth) Challenge/Wrapped Goodies - 2 cans full of liquid, 1 bottle that says Sow? I'm game for all 3, soon I expect Family shot - some great stuff framed up right there, excellent box @beluga92 ! Lots of wants, new ticks, new breweries and new things to try, just what the doctor ordered. Cheers!
