Fellowship of the Drink VIII: The Battle of the Brewers

[SailorJerry]

Looks like my beers that I picked are set to arrive tomorrow, and the ones I shipped are expected to arrive on Thursday. Dang, PA is a long ways from IA!

 

[jimyson]

I slacked and finally dropped off today for shipment.

 

[SailorJerry]

They arrived safe and sound! Thanks for the extras imasickboy!

Just wanted to say thanks to TBC for this awesome box, can't wait to get into these!

While it's too early for me to start FotD IX, we can at least start discussing it.

I'd love to see more beers that aren't IPAs. Blasphemy, I know. Maybe no IPAs at all in the offers? Could be extras, though. Or will too many of you jump ship if we did something like that? Just an idea to talk about. Thoughts?

That's a nice picture! Glad everything made it in one piece. Enjoy!!

I love ipas but am open to most other styles. I think we'd lose some participants just due up local brewers always having an IPA or 6 available.

Would be fine by me - I'd just swap out some of the IPAs in the offers for non-IPAs in the extras. Oh, and supplement with loads of sours.

I'm a fan of the funky (both funky-sour and funky-weird) beers though, so the only reason I wouldn't be happy with restricting the offerings is if I couldn't find enough beers to make my offer complete.

Received my package from@SailorJerry yesterday. Everything made it. Can't wait to try everything especially the Sosus.

 

[jimyson]

My package is likely hanging in a warehouse, hunkering down for Irma. Let’s hope I packaged it ok!

Oh man. It’s out for delivery. Wonder if @JayDog will get it. [emoji15]

Ha! I forgot I put a Busch Light in there! I was going to print off a recent article that showed that Iowans on average consume like 7 gallons of Busch Light per person, per year. We then decided it should be named Iowa Beer instead, but, I forgot to include the article.

Probably was a WTF moment for you when you saw that!

I laughed and the wife said "Ooh a Kevin Harvick can!" I have to cut the grass today or tomorrow so it will be a lawnmower beer!

I 've been tracking it. Unfortunately we decided to head up to NYC to avoid the storm. I'm gonna have my neighbor hold it for me. Looking forward to a nice hot cup of coffee when I get back. Been on the road since last night. All this truck stop coffee is not helping much.

Good to hear you left. Looks like it’s almost a direct hit for you with the latest predictions. I still can’t believe they actually deliver them when evacuations are in order.

@jaydog welcome to NYC. The weather is great this weekend, so get out and enjoy it if you can.

First beer from @SailorJerry and I am so glad I chose him!!! This is a great beer, can't wait to try the Sosus.

Ha! Wait til the Sosus! King Sue was great too, but over hyped in my mind. Always a limited supply of King Sue and this was 1 of 2 bottles I got my hands on.

Did a trade with SailorJerry before and Sosus was part of it. Absolutely loved that beer!

@jaydog welcome to NYC. The weather is great this weekend, so get out and enjoy it if you can.

Thanks, I haven't been here since last March. It's too cold for me already. I don't miss it. I was born and raised in Brooklyn. Left 7 years ago. Then a ton of breweries opened up.

 

[jimyson]

I like NY style pizza.

 

[JayDog]

The only thing I miss is pizza and white castle.

Yep, I miss the Chinese food from MA. Any other state that I’ve lived in can’t even begin to match.

Just got back from Chile and wanted to confirm receipt.

Box is sitting in my living room with a pile of mail to go through ... tomorrow. Exhausted, stinky, tired...

Got it in perfect condition, thank you very much!!!! I did not get a picture to post though sorry. I will leave you feedback later, we have been pretty preoccupied lately. Heck I still have to get Fourfarthings box out!

No worries at all, just wanted to make sure everything got there in one piece given my last shipment woes.

I'll send you Chinese food for beer

 

[TwistedGray]

Received the package, unboxed, and smiles all around. Probably my favorite selection to-date, and the packaging was rather ... interesting, lol. Hey, everything survived so kuddos

Funny thing is that every time I go to our DC office we end up at DuClaw. I haven't had this one though.

 

[jerbrew]

Hey! that tube looks familiar. Kind of crazy that is seems to keep going for one side of the country to the other.
