So I can't decide if my sender has been unusually quiet, is one of you that left very vague clues, or maybe I'm just an idiot and can't figure it out. The 15th (Newbie shipping window... Hey @MikeMcGraw - you get your box out this week?) has come and gone without any boxes or shipping notifications, so now I'm thinking I've got a BIF vet sending to me... that might be dangerous.
Ugh, I'm an idiot. 1950 miles was a hint from someone... I think I'm looking forward to a Monday shipping notification!
I think @LehighAce06 removed the early shipping window because people were active and had good sponsors.
Whew! Package finally dropped off. Don't normally ship on Friday but weather has been fairly moderate and the box is heading for more temperate Northeast climates.
Funny you say that, my box is being dropped off in the next hour or two, and while it's heading south for a warmer climate, it should at least spend the weekend up here in PA.
Hey @Yourahoser it looks like you may need to take a few days off work next week and give your liver a workout. Your box from our trade is packed and ready to go.
By the way, I just want to say how much fun this has been. I love trading beer but I abhor the ISO:FT forums. Too many whalezbro posts and too many crazy offers. I think for the most part, I may stick with the few trading partners I have and just do BIFs. Thanks for setting this up @LehighAce06 !
Based on that comment you should maybe look into joining one of the ongoing BIF threads, The Locals or SWTFYW. In those threads most of us stay away of the ISO:FT forums, if there's a specific beer you want to try and you mention it on the thread a funny thing happens, the beer will magically appear on your doorstep if anyone in the group happens to have one.
I agree. I'm pretty much done with the ISO thread. I've got a few tradingn partners, but plan to do many more BIF's and earn more trading partners. If anyone here ever wants any philly stuff please feel free to BM me. I have no problem sending out or picking things up. You guys are awesome.
Heres some more Pr0n for you savages. Box 1 of 2 according to @Avelasquez80 landed today. Used a bunch of fragile stickers- the 6 shipper made it safely. complete with a note. Now to the beers All are new for me. I have not had a JK beer yet, so I am looking forward to trying these. I am so excited about trying yellow rose too! That went right in the fridge for tonight or tomorrow morning. From L to R: Real Ale: Real Heavy- Scotch ale. I don't drink many of them, but am looking forward to trying it! Guadalupe Brewing: Texas Honey Ale- Never heard of the brewery. Sounds interesting for sure. Lone Pint: Yellow Rose- Huge want! Prairie: Prairie Gold- Another want. JK- Mad Meg and El Cedro- Not sure which one to get into first, but cant wait to pop my JK cherry. Thanks Ariel. Cant wait for box 2 after the caliber of this one. I have just enough beer for the minimum at the moment for my target, but that is not acceptable. This weekend will be slightly dedicated to tracking down a few wants or just some fun stuff to add to what I have already. Box should be out monday.
