Nice haul! By the way, that's a picture of Dustin on the koozie.

Glad they all made it and hope you will enjoy them all. Funky/sour is my game lol. I hope the corked bottle is carbed. Might be very low (mistake). Also been holding that koozie since 08 lol. Use it with pride

Careful with the tea. That stuff is dangerous. Also keep it away from the wife. She might drink it all lol

Nice haul! By the way, that's a picture of Dustin on the koozie.

Hey... that if i do not shave in a while... jeeze. I shave..

 

[banesong]

Sooo..... not to bring it back on topic, but... what is the current list?

 

[WesleyS]

My List is just any cool looking glassware. No shaker pints because I have ton already. I like the 9oz snifters. Signs (Bar room) or what not. Love some sour breweries (De garde, apoth, etc.) glass. Not picky. My mega want is a Fantome glass if they are around.

Cheers!

Current list

 

[DisturbdChemist]

My box is sent. Just updating. Anything not a shaker pint. Some unique glassware is what im after. It doesnt matter the brewery. If you send one from that brewery is a bonus. My main want is a fantome glass. Especially if its the crooked steam one. Also any 9oz snifters.

This.

 

[banesong]

Danke.

I shall ruminate and see what I can do.

 

[wobrien]

Tracking info sent to Lotbfan. Finally.

 

[wobrien]

Whelp, it finally happened to me :-(

@lotbfan hopefully you can go pick it up by 5:00 today.
Sorry again. There's irreplaceable stuff in there too. Damn.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

That sucks - especially with an east coast/west coast round trip that has to be done again before you know what broke. Hopefully the glassware was at least all safe...

 

[wobrien]

I just hope @lotbfan gets my message in time to run over and get it. They said he has until 5:00 to pick it up.

 

[lotbfan]

Great news and OK news:

Great news is that I made it in time and was able to nab the glassware, you are a champion!

OK news is that they repackaged the beer and are sending it back to you. They would not release it to me, but the guy was nice enough to grab the box off the truck, open it, take the glasses out, and reseal it to send your way. I lost 12 de Garde Imps when the handlers decided to "destroy" them instead of sending them anywhere, so I consider this a win. Whatever they were are going to be back in your cellar a few days for the next trade, which is awesome.

Could have been a lot worse. For what its worth, the semi wet glasses smelled nice, so it must have been a great bottle that broke!

Thanks again, very happy on my end! Pics when I get home and crack something to put in them

 

[lotbfan]

Heading out to dG Saturday, if this hasn't been picked up by then I will fulfill it.

 

[wobrien]

Well I'm glad you got the glassware anyway. I should've told the guy that the bottle without a label wasn't alcohol, haha. There were beers to match each glass in there...

Again, really sorry about that.

Every time i ship i worry about breakage. People work for these companies do not care and destroy the boxes. Its frustrating just have to make sure there is no movement and bubble wrap the **** out of it

That box was really well packed and lined with a trash bag. I think it was too hot to ship a growler and there was probably a liter of beer sloshing around in there.

Hey now! I care.

But the guy that is making $9.00 unloading trailers baking at 120°F probably doesn't.

 

[wobrien]

Amazing that through all that, none of the glasses broke, all three are stemware...

Growlers are tough - so much easier to break. It wasn't a TH growler was it? I've had horrible luck with their growlers.

More places need to start offering crowlers. Don't they know they'd be easier for us to ship?

 

[DisturbdChemist]

I do not send growlers that often because of that. If its SS or a crowler i would. They should be made of plastic so itll be easier to ship.

@wobrien
Im sure yoy packed it well. Like john said people do not care. That is weird that the stemware made it not what ever broke to tip them off

 

[wobrien]

Yeah, 1L TH swingtop. I'm only shipping them when it's between 30° and 40° from now on

Awesome. I never had any of their beers but alway want too. If you want to do a lottle trade for dG beers let me know

 

[wobrien]

Fedex sent what was left of the beer back to me. Shockingly, the Westy returned

Hey DC, send me your info. dG was out of their new glasses (they sold out in one day, on a Thursday, someone must have hoarded them) but I have their regular style and some other goodies I picked up for ya.
