I received the Honey Ginger IPA yesterday. My beer fridge is getting full…

 

[JayZeus]

This is the first time I've heard of this and I just wanted to say.. What an awesome concept!

I'd love to join in on the next one!

 

[JAReeves]

This was waiting for me when I got back from shipping out the Bourbon Stout 12BOC2022. Long story short, my sister and I are not going to be able to do any of the Christmas Eve fun with the rest of the family; looks like a a lot of Xmas beer tasting and a film festival!

The juniper rye Bock is in the mail today. The latest they should be is Monday and I anticipate a few will be delivered by Saturday

The Honey Ginger IPA arrived today. All in good shape.

I like electrical tape around the bottle cap rim. I think that should be added to the packaging tips. Just to keep the caps a little more protected and secure.

The Fruitcake Old Ale all went out today. I think PA may get theirs tomorrow? West coast is due by Friday.

Let me know if you want your tracking number.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

All is good thank you Charlie!

Received the fruit cake old ale from @GoodTimeCharlie today.

I checked my FedEx account and it looks like all of my packages were delivered. If you didn’t receive the honey ginger IPA let me know.

So far, so good!

I have received several packages so far and I must post the first tragedy. Bad pictures, but the Honey Ginger IPA didn’t make it. And after opening these bottles they gushed hard even after opening in shipment. So, everyone who has them make sure they get cold soon in case my batch wasn’t alone in having an issue.

Received 4 or 5 so far. My boxes are going out probably on Tuesday, I'm 2 boxes short, and two boxes I have are too big, so I have to see what I can scavenge from the Amazon shipment tomorrow and go buy boxes if necessary.

Heads up for anyone who hasn't shipped yet -- UPS promo code 'DELIVER' looks like 20% off for UPS Ground, and anyone who has an Amex card with cashback, I have an offer for $15 cashback on $45 for ups.com (redeemable up to 3 times), so check your account. YMMV with that last one, but with a little bit of structuring, that's potentially $45 + 20% off on the shipping.

This came in safely yesterday.

I really need to have a talk with my QC department about label placement!

 

[GoodTimeCharlie]

I received the Santa’s Rye Smile, The LA Christmas, Mike and Ike’s and a Flanders Red. Excited about all but especially Santa’s smile and LA Christmas.

I really need to have a talk with my QC department about label placement!

Maybe QC was sampling for QA purposes.

@CaddyWampus the rye landed yesterday.

@JAReeves these landed today. And that fermenter in the background is the quad. Kegging and force carbing today. Bottling Friday. Shipping ASAP. I might win last place this year!!!! But they will ship!!!! Probably land the week of the 26th.

 

[GoodTruble]

The Spiced Bourbon Stout arrived today. All in good shape. Thank you!

I have a cold that I am waiting to get over so that I can start enjoying all these. This may turn into 12 Beers of New Years soon.

Fruitcake landed today! So far I have the Gruit, Gingerbread, Saffron Tripel, Honey Ginger, Juniper Rye, Fruitcake.

Mine are enroute to UPS as we speak!

 

[user 263363]

The stout arrived here today, also.

Between this and a recent FOTHB drop my beer fridge is about to be overflowing!

 

[j1laskey]

Landed ! @GoodTimeCharlie

 

[BAF]

Bourbon Stout and Refiner's Fire just landed!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Arrived in good shape. Thank you. I was working on my laptop putting final touches on my label and it blipped off. GAH! The last time this happened I was able to recover so fingers crossed.

 

[GoodTruble]

The Fruitcake Old Ale arrived today. All in good shape. Thank you! (And like the specialized packaging).

 

[GoodTruble]

The Juniper Rye Bock arrived today. All in good shape. Thank you! (And I like the rattling candy subterfuge).

 

[GoodTimeCharlie]

Received the Weizenbock today as well as the extras. Thanks.

 

[user 263363]

I also received the Weizenbock today. Thanks!

 

[JAReeves]

Looking forward to this one. The green type was a little hard to read, can you post a close up of the label?

Didn’t understand the scale when creating these.

The green text says “Old Ale conditioned dried cherries, pineapple, mango, raisins and other fruit typically found in fruit cake with a splash of Flòr de Cana rum”
