Just kidding! Wes hooked me up. Thanks so much man, never had any of these and really excited to try your HB!

I don't care what you guys say, Wes is OK in my book :D


I'm glad they all made it safe. I figured you earned a few beers after not drinking for so long and having to put up with me giving you a hard time about it. I wanted them to be there the last day of lent, but USPS apparently had other plans. Enjoy!

FedEx Home Certain Day.

Get it together Wes, you are better than that!


:D
 
I get an email that says something is being shipped to my address. So I assume it's by address.

It's a match by name AND address.

I sent stuff under my name to a hotel while traveling and I never get alerts.

SWMBO used to order stuff and it would never show up as inbound to our place until I found a spot to add her name (and spelling variants) to the alerts for each carrier.

Now I get alerts for everything.

Not claiming to be an expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.
 
I'd have been notified if he shipped fedex, thereby blowing the surprise. Wes was one step ahead of us. As usual ;)


I think I could've come up with an interesting name to put instead of your real one to keep you from being alerted. Just ask Mark what happens when 9 people send you packages and none of them use your real name.
 
Even if it was a fake name? I've established ups notifies based on name, not address. Not sure if FEDEX is the same way

It's the combination. It also has to be somewhat significantly different. I can tell you that accidentally transposing two characters will still alert the recipient. Completely changing one name may not. I'm planning to test that theory in the next week by using Gaelic spelling.

Well. There is officially more beer in my house than food. @hello thank you for the kind gift. Every Friday I go to the store, I grab a Lagunitas, walk halfway to the register and turn around to put it back. Since you seemingly sent me one of each, I finally get to try them without having anxiety over it.

I can not wait to try the lemon drop home brew. Thanks again, I will definitely let you know how they go. Another great, undeserved gift.

ps: I laughed like an idiot when I pulled out the Hairy Eyeball bottle. I've never seen that one and it is a phrase my friends and I toss around now and then.

WHAT? I could have sworn you said you didn't get Lagunitas where you were at. I know seekabrew says it, but I thought you said you couldn't find it. Or was it just sculpin? :eek:

well ****...Anyway, I hope you do enjoy the beer I sent from here that you get there. Let me know how the carbonation is on those, if you will.

Grapefruit sculpin is hard to find usually, that is all. Honestly, it is a much welcomed gift. I've been passing on Lagunitas every week for a year now, this will be a great introduction.

I'll definitely let you know on the carb, if you give me some tips. Solid bottle carbonation is a mystery to me.

Well they were filled from the keg. I'm starting to wonder if they hold any real carb after they get warm.

Oh got ya. I will let you know for sure then. One of them had a neck full of bubbles and might have been slightly wet bet there was no significant loss if it was in fact leaking. They all went into chill, I'll try one tonight.

Negative BIF feedback, tsk tsk ;)

Nice box of brews.
 
A "kind of" BIf will land on Saturday. The fool who I'm sending it to already knows its coming. Hopefully he doesnt fill up on wings and can drink it all in one day!

I know. :( Honestly I must have misread his post in the drinking thread. I blame utter stupidity. Well, at least there's one local beer and he gets some of my lousy home brew. hah
 
Hey stop! I wouldn't turn down any beer, and it really does work out. I've been wanting Lagunitas but I likely wouldn't have ever bought it for the price they are up here. Besides, it was worth it just for that Hairy Eyeball. That slayed me. I need a free day to dig into the collection now and get sloppy :drunk:
