@azuelke What @KyleDavis said. It might be good to check a 6-12 shipper and just mail it back as well. But like the others stated, electrical tape, ziplocs, etc. Wrap and pack the bottles in your suitcase like you would for shipment. They should be fine.
Got antsy and picked a winner today. Now to decide if I want this to be a ninja LIF or if I'll reveal...
I love all the LIF love going around. I guess this is a good time to mention someone else is getting ninja'd next week. Hint: If I have your address, it could be you! Hint 2: You probably don't know I have your address... Hint 2.1: #blamethehoser
I just picked the GIF winner! I'm going to try to get it all packed up this weekend and in the mail either Monday or Tuesday
Have fun in VT as well @VetsPackage , I'm just guessing blind with 2345 #CIF just landed, pr0n to come soon I hope! @blassor
Good God @blassor !!! I am in beer nirvana today, holy crap. Will post a synopsis in a second. Still in shock
Yep, @blassor drilled me with the #CIF. It brought a tear to my eye to see those dull red fart catchers make an appearance in South Ohio. Without looking, I believe he sent all new ticks minus the Peche Mortel which I enjoy always. And without looking, I'd say pretty much every bottle was on my want list which is damn impressive. Carton Cosmonaut - have enjoyed all their stuff so sign me up Alchemist Focal Banger - this and Crusher have been a main want all summer, Damn! Forgotten Boardwalk What the Butler Saw - new brewery and beer, nice Crusher - huge want, awesome Peche Mortel - this coffee treat won't live long Allagash FV 13 - awesome Double Nickel Buffalo Nickel - new brewery, bottle sounds awesome Tired Hands Ourison - only had growlers from them I think, I know this is tasty! Allagash Tripel - I dig most Belgian anything and have wanted to try this for a while Double Nickel - Marbled Buffalo - just like the DN above Tired Hands Astral Plane - just like the TH above, this sounds killer RR Consecration - this one has alluded me or I've given them away - this goes in my belly Neshaminy Creek County Line IPA - wife will try to steal this one Carton Monkey Chased the Weasel - probably drink on the golf course Sunday Again, thanks and Cheers! I'll get some info out on the #CIF soon...
I'm glad it made it there safely and before the weekend. You had a ton of wants, so it was fun to track down some stuff you had on there. And it seemed like you lean towards belgian styles so that was easy to hit for me. Enjoy! And the 4th pillow is on the bottom of the box for you to start with your name before we write on the back of them.
That damn @beluga92 hit me with a second box from round 4! 4 wrapped cans and great swag. Took me forever to figure out where this came from. Thanks man, totally unnecessary and for that, you will pay
Not sure how the #CIF signups work exactly but I think it goes like this: 1) If you are a Newbie, past or present, and want a chance to score these beautiful cushions and some tasty beverage, send me a BM with your info 2) If your name is already on those beautiful cushions, you aren't eligible 3) I think that's it. I'm closing this puppy down on Sunday night at 11:59pm. The #CIF will leave South Ohio on Monday morning.
Trade box from @hardysf showed up today with some nice extras (trade was just for the big bottles). Excited for No Rules newbie VBS (pop into Slack if you want to join the fun), and Raspberry Wild One sounds awesome. Somehow I never picked up Neptune when it hit, but I'm definitely intrigued. Blackberry IPA sounds delicious. Curious how Scotty will stack up to CW BA scotch. And I'm utterly stoked for Hop Showers, I've hardly had any OH beers. Thanks again Stephen!
#VBS w/Dat Glass Anybody that wants a Newbie glass that hasn't already received one, send me a BM. #NewbiesAnniversary
Little pre-hopjam #vbs on the first leg of my trip up in NH. Not sure what my expectations were for this one but it definitely exceeded them, reminds me of the brookside candies. 12.7% dangerously hidden
@beluga92 strikes again with another blind ninja! Looks like I'm in for some fun blind tastings. Thanks Stephen, very generous of you! Definitely going to crack in to at least one of these this weekend.
