I found lost abbeys deliverance at my go to bottle shop for around half the cost I would expect it to be. I snagged two of them and picked up an expensive riesling for the SWMBO. I spent the rest of my day assuring myself splurging was fine, I coupe afford it, all that only to get home and drop the bag in my parking lot. One of the beers and the riesling are gone, 50 bucks of liquid washed away. I almost threw up.
I was taking a growler down to the beach on a beautiful sunny day with the wife, it was all the beer we brought, low & behold I dropped it. We turned around & went home.
That sucks so bad. Every time I carry the carboy down the stairs I imaging myself falling down the stairs and breaking the thing. Good luck to all of us!
I snagged over $100 of beer in Amsterdam last year including a bunch of Westys and 5 minutes later set it down on a ****ty cafe table and watched it fly off and shatter some of the bottles. I flipped out and cut my hand open trying to pick it up and salvage what I could.
I only ended up losing about 3 bottles and none of the Westy 12s-- it was traumatic though so I feel your pain.
