It says in their terms that they will ship alcohol if your state allows it (Oklahoma does not) but it has to shipped to a facility for pick up. Probably so that age can be verified. I think the letter you got was for something else. The reason they don’t call you is so that you know they aren’t scammers. Just like utility companies or government agencies will do.

A liquor store that I worked at looked into shipping, and if I recall correctly they would have needed a license to do so, and the packages would have to be signed for by somebody over 21. Maybe that’s just NY though..

Well it is NY, along with California they are probably the most heavily regulated states in the US. What I think is funny though is that you can do most things that you can’t do in some other states as long as you have the proper license.

Insetto is one of my favorite sours..

 

[Redtab78]

I am really envious of you guys that live around some of these breweries to be able to get some of those beers.....just seeing some of them on that table makes me even more excited for this side trade I got going on tho!!!

They didn’t invite my beers so I am passing this time. Maybe if its closer to home next year.

Those spin cycles are actually two different beers. One from each of their last two releases... the batch and the hops used are on the bottom of the can.

What’s the deal with the pennies?

 

[TBC]

What’s the deal with the pennies?

Probably a noise maker so you don’t hear beer sloshing around

 

[JamesonFan]

What’s the deal with the pennies?

So FedEx doesn't send you letter. [emoji12]

 

[Redtab78]

1 for each of his thoughts?

 

[pshankstar]

What’s the deal with the pennies?

To make some other noise and mask the beer sloshing sound.

And this!

Not quite, it would only be one on a good day. Haha LOL

I’m glad they all made it safely!! I reused the coffee bag that @jimyson sent me. I need to order some of those bags.

Enjoy and cheers!

 

[jschm19]

@JamesonFan package has landed!

 

[jimyson]

Damn that’s a big shipment.

 

[jschm19]

I'm sure it was assumed, but everything instantly went into the fridge. If a fire gets lit tonight I'm hoping these chill enough to start cracking!

Double orange starfish is so good!

 

[Boomer]

I’m just pumped. In a round loaded with sours, which I don’t much care for, I was able to get one of my top picks and get flooded with IPA’s!

Put oregano in the package.

Yeah it’s pretty darn good. I had one left and figured whomever picked my offer would get to enjoy one too. It’s those little things that make these trades so much fun!!

 

[Redtab78]

In 3 more years i am retiring from the military and am gonna make a run at it opening a small brewpub....so all of these beers is what i call my "research and development" phase....this way, i have a legit excuse with the wife as to why these trades are so meaningful

Damn good luck sir. On both the convincing and the go pro dream.

Dulles, VA. I travel to MD/VA/DC for work on a regular basis. Last month I finally made the trip over there and to Lost Rhino. I won a free t-shirt at Lost Rhino too. Woohoo!

I’m a sucker for free t-shirts.
