Stout BIF Round 4 Hints & Hauls

That's a ton in a 16x16x16 IMHO. If there is a good cushion between each bottle on all sides you just might be a real good packer. I've received some boxes that shocks me how much was put in there.

 

I agree with @Clarkson. That seems like a lot for one box. The other thing you have to think about is the weight of the package. I feel like a heavier package might draw more attention, especially if crammed into such a small box. It also makes me think there isn't that much padding throughout, and one good drop might be a disaster. I never risk it when shipping beer. I'd rather spend the extra few bucks and send a couple boxes than lose it all because I wanted to cram it into one.

 

@mseitz24 I've sent that much in a single box multiple times with no issues, biggest was about 65lbs. With that said, the box I use for that much is always MUCH larger than that, I can't imagine a circumstance where you can fit 50lbs in a 15" cube with anywhere near sufficient padding. Either find a bigger box, or a second box, imo.

 

Hmm, if I remember correctly it is three days ship time from Illinois to Florida so I would ship either Monday, or wait until April 15th (or after). No hurry dude.

 

#VBS from last night. Great BA stout. A lil smokiness with a touch of cherry and a nice bourbony finish. Awesome job Chad! Is this one on untappd?



Thx a million Chad

 

Sounds like an @whyteboy003 box to me...

 

@Mipper look up cerise Un evier de cuisine

 

Also @Mipper that one has over 3 years on it, and the Izzy is right at 3 years.

 

The goal was definitely to hit things you've never had and would otherwise likely never see - most of those are only available in-state and I may be biased, but they are fantastic. Box two with swag and some non-stout item will be out next week when I get home from AZ.

 

Well I sincerely thank you. This is the best part of BIFs, in my opinion. Anyone can trade for something like BCBCS or any other well-known stout. But, as you said, I would never think to put an "ISO: Snowed In", because I would have never heard of it. There are so many great beers out there and it is impossible to know them all. I love getting them, either in BIFs or through extras.

 

I think you mean @whyteboy003 ... but yea, that's the beer I thought it was. You're killing it!

 

Did you have to bring up our sorry QB? I thought that was a bad trade years ago. Oh, well.

I am very familiar with Taylor. I have a couple of friends who went there. So, having said that, I have made the obligatory trip to Ivanhoe's.

 

Go Colts!! Lived in Indy for 20 years. Great city. Loved it there....with the exception of the winters.

 

Beat me to it......... but thanks for the info!

 

Lived on their blueberry cheese shake for an entire summer when I got my breezes sophomore year.

Cheers sir, and go Wisconsin (or more accurately, down with Kentucky!)

 

Don't miss the weather at all. Love Colorado!

 

a couple of questions for you guys

1) where is said document to enter my tracking#
2) does anyone know why the image posted above got removed? @blue-dream (is it a site violation??) Weird, as all my other pictures through photobucket were not removed

Thanks in advance

 

I got back in town later than expected tonight so no time for picks. I did take a look and have to say that @whyteboy003 killed it. So many great beers I'm looking forward to trying. Picks to follow soon.

 

He always does...

 

That's a Photobucket message, not BA. I'm guessing a copyright violation if you uploaded some meme pic into your PB, though I don't know what the pic was.

As an aside, if it is a pic you found online, no need to put it in your PB first, just right click the image and click "Copy Image URL" and use that on BA.
