Something about all that sloshing around makes me nervous. I say artisanal vinegar and hope for the best.
Being east coast only, I was happily surprised to say that shipping all the packages for the twelve beers of Christmas combined cost me less than either one of my last two FOTD shipments to the west coast.
Cheers.

They don’t ask online? FedEx is cool it’s UPS that likes to bust horns.

Correct UPS asks all the time. Create a FedEx account and zero questions asked everytime

FedEx is usually cheaper, usually.
Good to know. I work 10 minutes from a big UPS distribution center so it is convenient. The. Iced generally go almost right on the truck and out of the state.

USPS is always fastest, and if you can manage two or even three large flat rate boxes it's probably the same price as UPS...more expensive if you use your own box though.
I was able to fit a 6-pack and a noise maker into a medium flat-rate box, which is $14.35. 2-day shipping and cheaper. Makes shipping much more reasonable. Although it looks like a couple of them won't get there until Thursday.

Got the Quad and a ghost label beer, lol
Sorry, I thought I mentioned it in my PM. That is the Gingerbread Ale substitute from @jerbrew
He was supposed to brew the Saffron Trippel, but something came up and he asked to sub the Gingerbread Ale he had completed already.
@grampamark
@bradccook
@jack13
Should also take note...

You probably did, lol. So we have two different gingerbread ales on the West group then? That's cool ... I liked the first one I tried
In all honesty, I probably didn't! Yes 2 Gingerbread Ales. Jerbrew's was really good last year, so I would expect this one to be good as well.

Someone must have said something at some point because I had known about the sub.
Looking forward to the final 3...

Jerbrew's sub was talked about earlier in the thread.

Yeah no worries; I don't care ... I liked the first Gingerbread Ale that I tried from whoever else made that one, so I am sure I'll like Jerbrew's. I just didn't know what it was, lol (no label, no hand written love notes, etc).

Just got it. Thanks for the 'extra'!

According to UPS, that should be the last one. Then again you got it a day early, so who knows.
I haven't received mine yet, but maybe it's stuck in the mailroom at work.
I'm still excitedly waiting on the west coast Carmel Quad, Spiced Dunkel Weizenbock, your Honey Ginger IPA, and the @jerbrew substitute beer. Oh, and the Cherry Dubbel swap with @fourfarthing. Not worried they won't arrive, just excited to get them into the fridge.
I received this today, all six in good condition, plus the noisemaker.
I’ve received 9 out of 10 from the west group now.
West Coast Honey Ginger received!

Same here. 9 out of 10. Got everything except the Weizenbock.

I likely missed it, but do we know the status of the Weizenbock from @bradccook by any chance for the west coast?
Was just looking at what I was missing, and it seems @bradccook 's Weizenbock is all I lack as well.
I'll let @jerbrew confirm the issue first, but if they are indeed gone forever let me know. I have a couple extra. I could send you 1 or 2 to make up for it.

His last post seems to be from October 12:
Life got away from me there for a min. But Spiced Dunkel Weizenbock is being brewed right now for the West coast group! So stoked to be apart of this thing. I'll post some pictures soon. Thanks gang.
And he much more recently provided mailing information, so I'd assume his intent is to send the beers.

Met up with @fourfarthing today. Thanks to everyone for sending out your beers, and to fourfarthing for shipping/collecting. I had the Cherry Dubbel and @TBC's Stout in time for Christmas, looking forward to tasting the rest.
I’ll send you a love note in the mail twisted.
Crap, not good. I’ll call them on Thursday when they’re open. If it’s all bad, I’ll send you three more bottles of mine from a different batch, I split mine in two, that used a different yeast. It finished sweeter and I think better. The other was just done first and In time for shipment. I’ll also send some commercial beer for your troubles. I can’t speak for @gromitdj for any extra beer.

Any updates to the Weizenbock from @bradccook? Did anyone get that beer?
Perhaps someone can PM him? It’s not like he hasn’t been inactive on the forum.

No one has; they have not shipped yet.
He was last logged in on Xmas Eve. His last post was in early October.
Edit. I sent him a PM. We’ll see what develops.
Yes, he is still using the forum, unlike a few on the east coast that are just “gone” and didn’t respond to give their address. My thinking is instead of “public shaming” perhaps a personal contact would get some answers.
