Swap-O-Rama #6, New Year New Brews!

[BeerMeDuffMan]

FedEx says it should be entering Punxsutawney Phil's state for delivery tomorrow.

That GD glorified rodent better see his shadow on Sunday.

 

[Canti4341]

Alright...finally got my images working....maybe?
Inity hooked me up - another Hand Farm man?!?! (you also sent me one in a MAW hit). I don't know if that was on purpose or not but unwrapping that was amazing - now I can enjoy one soon and save one for a bit. Best of both worlds! On a brewery only limit per customer beer that is super generous!

So we've got:
Sly Fox - Grisette
Cigar City - Dry hopped on the High Seas
Cigar City - Jai Alai x 2
DC Brau - The Corruption x 2(had one last night - amazing nose on that one)
Tired Hands - Hand Farm
Big Wood - Morning Wood
DuClaw - Sweet Baby Jesus
Troegs - Troegenator, Nugget Nectar x 3, Dead Reckoning, Perpetual IPA
Free Will - Pale Stout (intrigued...)

Thanks again Inity! I'm going to be destroying some IPAs this weekend.

Pics didn't work! At least not on my phone...

UPS attempted to deliver a box to me, but I failed and was in a tunnel when they buzzed my intercom (goes to my phone). Oh, the joys of receiving a package in an apartment building... Hopefully they try to deliver it today when i actually have cell service.

Fixed...I think. My work computer blocks the images so I just have to trust I typed them correctly this time around.

Someone in Minnesota has a box at their front door. Hope you can get to it before they become beer ice pops.

That would be me! Luckily I had the ability to head home a little early today. I live in an apartment though, and normally FedEx calls me and brings it inside. I assume they got in from someone else, and instead of putting it by our mailboxes, it made it all the way to my apartment door!

THE BEER PORN!!!

 

[nunyafnb]

EXTREMELY generous box!!!

So many new beers to try! I can't thank you enough, Cathedral! I've only had two out of the entire box, and only heard of Great Lakes and Hoppin Frog when it comes to the breweries!

Thank you VERY much!!!

Thirsty Dog Brewing Company
Siberian Night Imperial Stout

Hoppin' Frog
Hop Heathen Imperial Black IPA
Barrel Aged Outta Kilter Scotch Red Ale

[Cathedral]

Enjoy. Those are all Ohio beers. HeadHunter is one of the best IPA's around. I'm glad you were able to have the barrel aged BORIS already--I wanted to get a bottle of that but there are none to be found. BORIS regular is a very amazing stout. Same with the Maumee Bay. Cheers!

Glad it arrived safely. This Handfarm is from batch 3 which was released two weeks ago. I had one the other night and it was good.. Will only get better with some age on it.

Friggin fedex tracking is acting up. My package arrived yesterday afternoon scheduled for delivery today. No update since last nights arrival scan

 

[SavoryChef]

I

That homebrew on the end won a competition. And I didn't get nugget nectar in time, but the flying mouflan is aged nugget nectar, so hopefully it's a good substitute.

I'm drinking your French Saison now and it is delicious!! Thanks again.

Excellent. Glad you like it, and you're welcome. Nice to hear how people enjoy my Homebrew.

 

[ivegot2legs]

Got a sweet haul from ardyexfor! Aside from a few New Belgium beers I had on vacation, these are all totally new to me. Can't wait to start drinking them all, thanks a ton.

 

[ivegot2legs]

[ardyexfor]

I know new belgium is not local to me but I was shocked to see they did not distribute to PA and had to send them.

[pluchar]

I really like Great South Bay stuff. That is a really good one that's why I doubled down on it. I wanted to get you a Dirty Deeds limited release RIS but it wasn't yet out before I shipped. Maybe next time.

[gpack]

I'll send a couple of homebrews as well since it wont make that big a deal in freight.

The windowpane series doesn't go very high on BA, but it is hugely popular down here.

Cheers, I'm looking forward to opening a box as well if winter ever ends...

 

[absoluthamm]

My box is out for delivery!

 

[jmcm_brew]

Mine is out for delivery in the northwest!

I'm just glad that it's out on the truck for delivery. I was EXTREMELY concerned about the temps out here when I sent it.

There was only one item in the box that wasn't in a zip lock bag, so if that didn't explode (FedEx probably would have noticed... ), then I'm pretty confident that the rest should arrive safely.

Fingers crossed!

Today is your Super Bowl.

Hehe....superbowl...

 

[nickfern]

Haha, well done. +1

 

[ledhead72486]

[absoluthamm]

And it's been delivered...

Good thing I waited til this week, it's a balmy 27 degrees there.

 

[InityBrew]

Jeremy,

My girlfriend secured the package and it is sitting in my apartment right now. Can't wait to explore the contents when I get home.. Pics will be up tonight!

Thanks!

 

[absoluthamm]

No problem Ben, hope you enjoy!
