You've never run a business. A small brewpub doesn't use a whole lot more hops for a brew than I do, and there are times when something happens and you need something right away. In addition, who's talking about less than a week lead time? I placed an order 10 days in advance and wasn't given a...

This has nothing to do with the internet. How about this: GIVE ME WHAT I WANT WHEN YOU SAY YOU WILL!

You can poop out whatever you'd like. Bottom line is if they are going to deal with me, they should do so in a professional manner and meet their own service expectations. If this is the service I can expect from the company, then if I do go pro, I'll bear this in mind, and not bother with them...

The fact that they are busy means that they need to better set expectations. In my opinion, a "slightly longer" lead time means a day or two. I placed the order on the 15th. They are now four days late on the promised shipping quote, and three days late on actually shipping the order, or...

You have a valid point about the planning, but that's exactly what I'm trying to do and why I am concerned. I generally don't consider 10 days in the future being poor planning. However, I do have a tight schedule, and the whole point of this thread was to figure out if I should cancel my order...

If Coors can do it with Blue Moon, why can't Bud do it?

First of all... show me where I called them a liar. I said that other people are telling me that they were lied to. Second, email is a legal communication that has been upheld by courts, and so by if they do not send a shipping quote, then yes, they are lying. Yes, I do need my hops by a...

By the way, I wasn't "cutting up" anyone. I was asking if other people had similar experiences, and now am being told that they almost never live up to what they say.

Ok, so everyone seems to think it's perfectly acceptable for a vendor to lie to their customers. They do have good prices, and I think that's great, but if I am told I'll get a shipping quote, then I expect one to be provided. If I receive an email telling me that they'll ship in 1-2 days, I...

I don't really feel like I'm being impatient when I'm told one day for a shipping quote and I've waited 4 days, and honestly, if I have to call a company before ordering online, it sort of defeats the purpose. My concern isn't really about them being legit or not, my concern is that if I'm...

I placed an order from hops direct the other day (the 15th), and noticed on the site that it says: "We began the current harvest at the end of August and are in full production! While the crew and staff are running around the clock you may notice a slower turn around time on your orders. Be...

Location works for me, but I can't commit to it without a date. Just don't want to screw anyone over if I can't pick up.

I wouldn't put a delicate wit up against some hot wings, and I wouldn't pair an IIPA with foie gras. I usually look at a menu and decide what I'm going to eat, then look to see what beer will pair best with my food. I think it's kind of funny how pizza and wings are the popular answers here...

Got sick of seeing all the Health Care Reform posts on FB, so I wrote this up as my FB status: No one should go thirsty because they can not afford good beer and no one should go broke because they get thirsty. Support your local craft brewery and no increase of excise taxes on beer. If you...

I'd probably be down for a couple of bottles. I have pretty decent stores I can hit for some local and hard to find stuff. I'll see what I can find.

I'm going to try to get to a few events. Got my Passport last night and I'm ready to hit up a bunch of locations for $2 pints! Should be a good week! If anyone else is interested, here's the link. \\\ NY CRAFT BEER WEEK | HOME ///

Turkey baster works great if you use a bucket... not as great with a glass carboy or demi. Mine doesn't even come close to getting far enough into the carboy.

Yeah, but notice I still drank the Aprihop! :tank:

I've never heard of a hop allergy, but I know I get as red as a tomato when I eat apricots. That said... I risked it and had an Aprihop at the DFH brewery and looked like a tomato for the rest of the evening. I don't know about Stone, but DFH actually says on the brewery tour that their...

I might be down pending p/u location.
