I usually get deliveries by 11-12...I am acquaintances with the drivers though so I think they see I have a package and purposely make me wait longer cause mine always show up later than that lol
 
I've got terrible and fantastic news. JJ absolutely took care of me. Thank you so much!!!

Sadly, the kbs did not make it. The box was super soggy. I am not sure why the guy even delivered it to be honest. I think this might be the first MAW fatality.

I DO NOT expect JJ to make up for it and send another. He was more than generous as it is.

However, if anyone has some kbs to trade, I'm all ears, lol. Although, none of the beer pictured above is for trade.

Thanks again, can't wait to grab another maw to pay it forward!

Too bad on KBS. I can't believe that more packages don't get broken. The delivery guys do not put any care when handling. They just toss it in the truck and toss it round at the warehouse. I think we all do an amazing job packaging though.
 
Yeah, I am guessing it happened relatively recent. As in, this morning or something. The bottom was soggy and it reeked. I can't see that getting too far in that condition.

Bummer man. It's better that they didn't send it back though. You might be down a bottle of KBS which sucks :( but if they sent it back it would have meant hella extra bucks for your guy. The criteria for properly packaging glass for shipping companies is crazy, like 3" insulation between bottles and sides. Any less and it's your fault. I've luckily only had this happen once, and I'm sorry it happened to you. It looks like he took pretty good care of you though.

Yeah, I remember your broken box, it couldnt have been fun. I am happy they delivered it regardless and very happy with what I got. This is why I told jj not to even worry about it.

That's a shame.
Now, that heightens my anxiety for any future trades I ship. I would consider my packaging over the top. And I think they would have to drive over the package to break anything, but I still worry up until I get verification from the recipient that everything made it okay.
Looks like you have some great beer that survived though.

You're packaging is way over the top. Speaking of which, that sour porter I sent has gone south in the bottle. All the roast has turned into water it seems. If I ever get of my backside, pack beers, and make it to feded, I'll send ya some better sours.

Now that you mention it, I think I'm going to open it and taste it. And I'll accept any homebrew your willing to send. I enjoyed all that you sent and it looks like you've been making some interesting stuff lately.

Can't specifically say about the centennial red, but I though their Brewmaster Series Coffee Stout was solid! I'd try the red if I saw it!

Nobody's touched this. Must not be as doable as I'd hoped.

Guess I'll have to do a little soul searching and add a few more.

They are right up there for me as a brewery. Long trail has been doing its thing for quite sometime. I've yet to have one of their brews that I wasn't a fan of.

Blackbeary wheat was the first wheat beer I think I ever had. Personally I love it. Even the double and triple bag are good IMO

I would claim this but I'm on vacation for 5 more days. I doubt it's still around, but if it is ill take care of you.
Click to expand...

If you were to claim it today, I'm more than happy to wait a few days if you can't ship immediately.

I'm just getting igotsand's package shipped today.

Otherwise, I'll add to the list tonight. I think I've held up the wheels of progress long enough.
