    Would love to! @FFFjunkie has already tried to get me involved, BUT I am too cash and beer poor right now to participate. Plus, I have followed the past threads courtesy of his nudges, and these guys retaliate! It can go on for awhile! I have the mentality (kindness), just not the money or beer to =(.

    Best of luck/enjoyment to all whom participate, as I will be lurking as usual!

    Thanks for the tag! Will confirm this weekend if otherwise, but with work travel the next month and an attempt to save some money I don't think I can swing this one :slight_frown:

    Still only 10 of us. Going to keep the signups going for another week. See how many we can get.

    Alright, in. Question though. How long do crowlers last? It's a can, so assuming they are good for a while? I just know a couple places that have some beer I wouldn't mind trying to get this weekend and thinking if it'll be good at go time.

    Crowlers last a long time and ship well. I send them all the time.

    The longest I have ever had a crowler was 2 weeks. It was still great I am sure it would last longer.

    I had a pumpkin ale hold up in a crowler for almost a year. Forgot about it , opened it up on the following Halloween and to my surprise it was pretty on point. Obviously it wasn't a pumpkin ipa...

    I've heard of people not wanting crowlers over a week old.... Ive lost crowlers in my fridge many times, and enjoyed them many months later, so I call BS on those people. Feel free to send me crowlers. :sunglasses:

    Those people are dummies who also say IPAs are drain pour after three weeks. Everyone knows they're drain pours after 25 days

    Okay boys and girls.... We have 14. I will leave it up to mob rules if we want to extend the entry deadline and the shipping deadline by a week or so. I just want to make sure ALL boxes arrive to you guys at least a week before Thanksgiving. So that people are not out of town.

    Here are the 14 STUDS!!

    If this is all we have, I will begin putting my list together taking into account geography and since we have a few repeat offenders who you were matched up with previously.

    Cheers

    Fall is such a great season to send/receive/drink beer, I'm kind of surprised that there hasn't been more interest in this.
    If 14 is it, at least we have a pretty good spread of states.

    Hint #1---not shipping to @Houser

    My vote is to roll on with the 14. I have cans that arn't getting any fresher.

    I also like rolling with the 14. This one at 14 should be nice and tight. Should have a nice close feel to it.
