    I just did a trade with a long time trading partner and of 12 bombers in a horizontal bottle pack (which I use all the time) the two new Lips of Faith beers - Coconut Curry and Yuzu - both leaked out. And they were the only beers in the box with any problems.

    A caution for these beers and would be interested to hear if anyone else has had similar issues.

    And this is why we line our boxes with garbage bags.

    The face only a mother could love.:wink: My palate is perfect, I convinced myself of it a long time ago.
    I have had a LOF leak in shipping, the bottles feel a little cheap to me.

    And it wasnt just a little leak. We're talking 80-90% of the bottle!

    Use electrical tape to wrap up the bottle cap.

    Had a similar issue with a La Folie a while back. Only bottle I have ever had leak in transit.

    Yup, just had my first trade casualty and it was a LaFolie that leaked out. Luckily I had a replacement that got there in-tact.
