Big ups to @Thorrak fkr organizing again and being a super patient giftee.

another shout to @gromitdj for an amazing selection of beers. For some reason I feel like this is the first time I’ve gotten a box from you after all these past trades. Thank you!

 

[gromitdj]

I believe it is the 1st time.

I may have received beer from you, but I've not sent anything your way before.

Nahhhhh...I always get USPS boxes with no names and no return address

@fourfarthing killed it all the way! Another tasty one!

Thanks again @Thorrak for running the show and to @LoneTreeFarms for the beer! I’m already looking forward to the next round.

 

[aharri1]

Thanks again! @fourfarthing Still a tasty beer. A little too much vanilla for my personal liking though, but I could see what they were going for!

Santa brought my beer a couple of weeks ago, but there was no non-beer gift inside. No big deal; I wasn't worried about it, since they were some fantastic beers. Well, Santa made another circle over my house and dropped these off the other day. The little wooden puck is a magnetic bottle opener, and I didn't own a snifter before today. Now to brew something worthy of my new drinkware. I foresee a barleywine in my future!

I just read this last night too. Had no idea it was even an option. I’m going to miss that place. Not sure where I’ll go now while I resist the urge to get it shipped from more beer.

I think HomeBrewMart is the only one close in that area. Think there are others north and south of it, but I've never been so can't speak to whether they're any good or not.

Pretty sad the way it ended up. Stupid greedy landlords..which doesn't make any sense to me in that area really..in that specific building. It wasn't in any danger of being upscaled anytime soon, multiple vacancies and some shady foot traffic.
