    PirateShip is the best. I have never had an issue with them.

    Such a service does not exist in the US to my knowledge. You’d need a proxy.

    Dang, just shipped to Europe for $175 USPS, wonder if I could have saved anything. I'm just super hesitant to make new accounts anymore, don't ship a ton these days either.

    Definitely would have saved some funds. I completely understand not wanting to create any new accounts, very much that way myself. Too many accounts to keep up with these days. If you plan to continue shipping international though, I would highly recommend checking Pirateship or Shippo out. Biggest difference between the two are the carriers at which they partner with
    Pirateship is USPS and UPS only were as you are able to use FedEx with Shippo. Both outstanding services that I can't say enough good about. I have found that my biggest discounts come when using UPS and are typically around 50 - 70% cheaper than over the counter prices.

    LOL, I just got an email from Side Project saying I apparently left 12 packages of BBT Rye 2024 in my cart.......except I never even went to the package page once today. Very very odd.....

    Possibly a play to get locals to buy packages? I assume most locals have been holding off on buying packages (that stick around) with the assumption that they will 100% have a chance to purchase onsite. Thus only paying the slight on-site markup for the stout/bw vs. extra bottles markup that comes with packages.

    usually there isn’t an on-site mark up if it’s just been released. but i suspect your onto something with this theory.

    Completely different subject here but man, I re-read that Raji thread for the first time since it happened and I swear I was on the edge of my seat reading about how it all unfolded. Such a crazy fucking story with so many twists and turns that would make the movie Gone Girl envious.

    They should do a collab with Columbus Brewing Co (his former employer) and call it For Raji
