    Update your profile page with wants/favorite styles. You can also include that info, along with any food allergies and shirt sizes/swag preferences when you send your contact info to me.

    @Jimmy_Kneecaps your box finally made it to me! My God, UPS was super dickish on this one. Wouldn’t leave the package, wouldn’t redirect to an access point...finally I asked to talk to a manager, and he eventually relented to releasing the package to an access point. Fuck you UPS! Never had a problem with USPS or FedEx, but UPS has really been a headache lately :rage:

    Anyway, onto the box...

    As in how many people have died after drinking it? Or is it now brewed with mineral water from Flint, MI?

    I don't know, I thought it kind of fell off from previous years. Doesn't have that same traditional skunky character and I didn't get the same uninspired feeling when drinking it. They must have changed the recipe and not told us or something.

    It’s skunk mating season here. I think they were partnering with the Ohio Division of Wildlife to create an new anal gland dry hopped version.

    Figured I could help fill up your NBS already. I’m interested to see what you think about astronaut status. I had one a couple years ago and really liked it.

    Sorry about the shipping deal, ups is in town so I’ve used them a lot. I just shipped to @beertunes by usps and it was quicker and easier. I was worried about padding in the flat rate usps box but it seemed to hold up great. May be using snail mail from now on...

    I’m of the same mindset now too. USPS all the way, unless I’m trying to drop a 40 pounder on someone :grimacing:

    Not only that, but there are many, many pictures here of USPS deliveries where the package was damaged, taped up, and delivered anyway. With UPS or FedEx, you're fucked if your package is damaged - even during the final stage of the delivery.

    Box was torn on one corner, but using packing tape on all 3 axis seems to work for me. and I generally have a hard time getting the boxes closed.

    Granted, this one came from Hawaii to CT, but I have seen this a lot, and experienced first hand, with USPS recently. Not sure what’s going on, but buyer beware.

    Didn't fill the box. Stuff a bunch of something in there. Empty space is the enemy. Plus, again, tape all 3 axis. Packing tape is cheap.

    Actually, it was fuller. Till they crushed the bottles.
    Mainly cans. Not sure how many actually died, but there were casualties.

    You just guaranteed that a porch in Buffalo is going to get crushed with approximately 700 oz of beer on March 29th.

    Welcome to the hootenanny!!!
