[imasickboy]

Great job with the Raffle Thorrak! Good fun, and great beer, as always.

+1

Perhaps we should wait until after the holidays for round 3?

thought the same thing. Thorrak asked if I'd continue the "you got picked first, so you run the next one" theme. Which I'm happy to do. Figured we'd kick it off after the holidays.

Definitely, this is a good way to end the year. We will start again next year. Cheers all!

 

[nickfern]

Thanks Thorakk for getting this done. Great round. Looking forward to #3.

Maybe after NYE is a good idea.

 

[JDXX1971]

EXXcellent!!!! That was a blast!!!

Thanks to Thorrak and Scturo for hosting these rounds and thank you everyone else for the eXXciting offers!!

 

[PatrickGoss]

Excellent job Thorakk! I look forward to the next round.

 

[badgerfan79]

@badgerfan79 's top available choice is @scturo ! Next up is @TBC !

Sweet. I got my top choice. Was out sledding with the kids.

 

[RevKev]

I am gonna go with pointcity-homebrew's offer!!!!!!!!

I almost took that offer ... I flipped a coin happy no matter what

Yeah, that worked out perfect for me I got dang near the top 1/3 of my original list. Pretty good for being 18th to pick.

 

[jerbrew]

That was a lot of fun. And I'm really excited to share the beer I picked and to contemplate when to open those sours. Thanks @thorrak for a great round.

 

[tjosborne]

Thanks guys. Can't wait for the next one.

 

[jerbrew]

Great job @thorrak and I think we're all very happy with our prize. Lots of fun round three will be fun. Look forward to my beers. If I can manage to open them. I tend to be a beer hoarder.

 

[cegan09]

I too tend to hoard. But I think in this case I'm going to make a point to enjoy mine over the holidays.

Thanks for setting this up and letting me participate Thorrak. I'll do my best to make sure I do as good a job with round 3.

 

[afro_lou]

Congrats to everyone! Another great round, can't wait for #3!

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

Worst case scenario, everyone gets beer!

 

[gromitdj]

That indeed was another great round! Would love to participate in Round III.

Great, I'm just happy my offer wasn't last again!!! Pm me your address and I should be able to ship tomorrow.

Ironically, the 2 Troeggs offers were real high on my lists.

 

[badgerfan79]

That was great. I would have been happy with any of my top 6-9. It came down to glassware and "throwing darts".

 

[imasickboy]

For you guys that want a chance at some Troeg's, I'll keep offering them up every FOTD.

Same with me and Finback. Just hoping I can get some of their canned sours for next round!

 

[Scturo]

I'll probably change it up for next round. Lots of great beer locally.

I had my eye on the Troeg's offers. It was just so hard to rate all these offers. Lol. Oh well maybe next time.

I got mine boxed up and will ship it out on Wednesday(need to go ice fishing tomorrow).

 

[jimyson]

I can't wait for next round.

 

[cegan09]

I'll switch it up a little next time. I live close enough to a lot of the new england hype breweries that I can always get stuff from them. But there's a lot of really good lesser known super local breweries too. I think I'll try to keep that balance again, just with new breweries.

Yours was #1 on my list, maybe next time.

You should participate in the Local Only Trade thread, good way to get those lesser known locals out there.

The LOT is on point.

 

[MarkO22]

Mine is all boxed up and going to be shipped out today. Would have been shipped yesterday but had to work OT. Is anybody sending through USPS? Have any troubles with them before? Have a UPS in town would they be better...Thanks again Thorrak for putting this together. Already have some beers in mind for rd. 3 and hope to have a couple of samples from friends brewery, New Jersey's newest brewery Icarus Brewing co.

The popular thing to say is that shipping via usps is illegal while shipping via ups or fedex is only a violation of their policy. That said, when shipping small packages... The usps flat rate box is too appealing a deal for me to pass up and I have not been caught yet.

I know that USPS does box check sometimes. My local PO clerk would mention some of the things I was shipping (collectible sales) even though I never told him what was in the box.

That being said, I've shipped 95% of my boxes USPS, without any problems. Knock on wood.

Ruh-roh, my mailman can smell beer a mile away. I may end up with empty bottles. Lol
