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

[BeerMeDuffMan]

I have a proposal pending with TxBrew using TheMan's formula...details will follow if I get approval to run it.

TxBrew?
Please elaborate

 

[Psycotte]

TxBrew?

All in good time. I need TxBrew's approval to run it much the same as TheMan has TxBrew's approval on this one.

I'd be down for a random whale trade.

Woo!! FedEx is delivering my package a day earlier than estimated! Someone in Milford, CT should probably leave work because they're "sick" today

Must fight the urge! Only a few short hours until I'll dive into that bad boy.

 

[dotJerdot]

Screw it, I left

 

[ledhead72486]

Screw it, I left

Good call

 

[TCGoose]

Haha! They're probably nice and chilled, ready to drink!

Aaaaaannnnnnd the box I sent, set to land today, now says delivery exception: damaged.

I packet it so freaking well there is no way it broke on its own. They must have been throwing it around. I'll call today to find out. Sigh...

Huntington NY!?!

Damnit!!! Ive seen the return for delivery before but only before it made it to the local sort facility, not when I got within miles of the destination.

Lets hope I get home to a wet box...hehe

 

[pluchar]

Not NY. Sorry!! Yea it made it all the way to the last stop and then damaged. I hate this

 

[nickfern]

Someone in Jersey has a box on their porch. Hope it doesn't sit out there to long. Looks like its 24 degrees there right now.

That wasn't my NJ porch.

Not NY. Sorry!! Yea it made it all the way to the last stop and then damaged. I hate this

Deductive reasoning has led me to believe this is me...I think.

 

[hawgwild81]

If your in Jersey check your porch. There's been a package on it since 8:30 this morning. I'm hoping they are still intact.

D_Nyholm....if you upgrade to a supporting membership, ill hold you a spot next round. Plus ill let you choose some of the requirements like I have done before with others....

Since when do you have to be a supporting member? Or is that just if you want a spot held?

 

[TheMan]

I dont require you to be a supporting member at all. But...if I see someone express interest, ill absolutely offer then a spot and allow them to help pick requirements should they become a member.

Ill extend the offer to you as well.

This is my way of helping give back to hbt. If I can encourage a few people to become supporting members along the way then its a win for everyone involved. The site has been awesome for me. So encouraging others to support will always be a goal.

 

[hawgwild81]

TheMan...unless I overlooked someone, nickfern is the only person in Jersey. So who did my package go to? It was delivered this morning and no one has claimed it.

There is one other...I am sure its safe. Ill put a "theman guarantee" on it. If its not, ill send 4 different beers from own area.

 

[hawgwild81]

Sounds good. I'd just hate for someone to get a box of busted bottles.

Fingers are crossed for you MikeysAb

 

[mikeysab]

Thanks man. Its funny, I don't get this freaked out about when I have a package coming in.

 

[bigmike99]

If you said to me I'd be more nervous about my beers getting to their new home safe when I first started swapping I'd call you nuts. Now I refresh tracking on stuff I sent 100x more than stuff coming in....

All is good. Your recipient is sick and just hasnt posted yet. He will get some pics up eventually.

I got a great package from Hawgwild81 yesterday. Sorry for the delay in posting. I've been under the weather all week and been in bed by 8:30 each day. He sent some great looking stuff that I've never heard of. I've only heard of Prairie and none of the others. They all sound tasty. I did sample one shortly after it arrived because it was cold enough out of the box. It was excellent. Nothing was frozen so that was good.

Thanks man.

My box went out yesterday and Fed Ex estimates it'll hit the Golden State on Thursday. Sorry for the weather delays, but it has been absurdly cold here the last two weeks.

So true. I spent the last two days at work hitting the refresh button every hour or so hoping my package had been delivered.

Suggestions on what to age and what to drink fresh?

 

[Johnnyhitch1]

Suggestions on what to age and what to drink fresh?

Drink everything fresh but the Russian river IF you need to age something
One is a sour and the other is a golden strong ale.

Yeah I'm gonna agree with this. Everything is pretty good to go. Even the drakes imperial stout (which you could technically age a bit) is really good fresh. But you could also age the almanac if you want to. Definitely drink the homebrews soon, they're a few months old, but have held up really well. I think the black IPA is better now than it was fresh!

I hope you mean the Lone Star State! And no worries about the delays. Better safe than frozen.

Woo hooooooo, delivered. Can't wait for the damage report

 

[gpack]

Zero apparent damage THX Mike. I dont know where to begin. The Black ops was like the gift of the magi. I was running out to pick another up.
