Craft Beer MAW(Easy Version)

[pointcity-homebrew]

Since the closest drop off for me s ~20 minutes out of the way, I just ay the few extra dollars and FedEx picks it up at my house. No questions asked.

 

[Peyope]

I listed that first package as household supplies. When they gave it back I didn't get the impression I was blacklisted but I'll probably hold off from using them. I didn't get a lecture, but then again it was a younger guy who gave me back my package.

Also when I called UPS about the package not being delivered, the rep on the other line knew nothing about why the box was sent back.

 

[TobyG]

Even if I preprint and drop off they always ask: "anything liquid, hazardous or dangerous?" Gotta either lie outright or tell them it is olive oil or liquid yeast samples.

Never had FedEx even ask. If they did, I would probably tell them olive oil, but in a garbage bag to prevent any leakage.

The only incident I've ever had was as a recipient where it looked like they ripped the bottom out. They shoddily repacked and called the shipper. They let me go pick it up and didn't say a word about it. Lost a couple bottles, but shipper replaced them.

We need an interconnecting system of tubes to deliver parcels...I'll get the scientist working on the tube technology.

Chop chop. Let's go.

No tubes - we need Wonka-vision!

But we'd all have to buy 3L bottles...
Or have a taffy pulling machine in our house.

 

[zeptrey]

Do they typically at least ship the "undeliverable" package back to you.

 

[coyote68]

UPS has just shipped the rest of a broken/repacked shipment on a trade earlier today.
fedex tossed one last year and sent me a letter for a claim. they didn't say anything about beer at all. (i did get a refund of 34.00)

In my experience, FedEx will give the shipper a bit of **** and then let the recipient pick whatever survived up.

Beer mail from @Sepanik1986. What's the homebrew?

 

[Sepanik1986]

Homebrew is an all citra pale. That was the last bottle. A bucnch of my buddies came over and raided the fridge so I figured it was a hit. Hope you like

Cool. Will probably have it tomorrow. Tonight is club meeting, so won't be home until relatively late. I'm curious since I plan to brew an all citra version of my IPA next year after my hop pre-order comes in.

 

[Hulud]

Ok so after the issues Peyope had with UPS he nailed this! First pic is of all of them and the other two are just close ups. Did you get me all the New Glarus the store had? That's awesome! Also super excited to try the homebrew as the only homebrews I've had are mine, my brother, my cousin, my uncle, and my brothers father in law. So excited to try a non family member homebrew.

If you can do only one of these then throw in some good locals that you enjoy! Just check seekabrew to make sure I can't get it in Ga. This has sat here too long.

If you're looking for a certain style for me just pick what you want (honestly). I love all styles.

Let's get this moving again.

Can't wait to try it. I would have opened it already if I wasn't doing a bottleshare tonight. I had the westbrook rhubarb remix and loved it so I'm sure I'll love this too.

I am home sick today staring out the window... fedex has been by twice to deliver to the house across the street... Every time they pull up my heart skips a beat.

If it doesn't get picked up by the time I get home, I may still have a Ska beer or two left in the fridge.

Package is on the way to val214 and should arrive way before 12/23. Talk about your Festivus miracle!

Pointcity killed it and now I am gonna kill each and every one of these things. I hear hops are good for a cold. The cigars are gonna have to wait till I am a little less congested.

Thanks Jeremy. I am excited about this score... Never had any of them... Never heard of any of them. I got exactly what I asked for.

[pointcity-homebrew]

You are welcome, the home brew is my Apricot blonde ale. It came out tart from the fresh apricot puree. AT first I did not like it, now it has aged a bit i feel it is a pretty solid brew. I might be a bit biased though.

I'm glad you got them! The whole while I was embarrassed the complications happened (from my terrible packaging). I definitely know better now! I did buy almost every New Glarus they had at the store though I wish I could have found NG's Scream IIPA, it's a favorite of mine.


A run down of the others: The Java and the Me Myself and IPA come from a brewery in my hometown (La Crosse, WI). The Blonde Fatal from Peace Tree is a common brew here in IA. I'm not typically a fan of the style but this one packs a punch and I like that about. The two sours are from a newer brewery here in IA. It's my understanding they purchase beer from surrounding breweries and sour them. Kind of neat and really the only place doing Sours here in IA. I saw you get Bells where you live but it didn't look like that barely wine made it that far south.

To put a face to this name, on the beer labels/note -I'm the guy on the far right in the group photo.

Cheers!

abeasst hooked me up. Can't wait to try these this weekend. Really excited!!!
