Fellowship of the Drink XVII: The Hazy Sour Adjunct Stout Project

[fourfarthing]

Never once brought up accountability. I was referring to timeliness. That was my whole point. I don't need to have done 20 of these to be allowed to have an opinion.

I for one am typically a late shipper. And I agree with your post, as does my conscience. But I load up some mad beers to make it cool.

 

[TBC]

Gentlemen: Full Disclosure, I’ve had a few tonight. One thing we need to keep in mind is this is a fellowship trading thread. Everyone needs to relax and keep an open mind and have a beer.

Sometimes this is hard especially on this site seeing that there is beer involved and “social media”. There were a few times that I was probably, most likely out of line on his site, said stuff I shouldn’t have and I accept responsibility but will still blame a certain member in upstate NY that always trades me excellent DIPAs and RIS, never pale ales or session beers.

Most of the participants ship quickly, sometimes I’m in that group and sometimes I delay due to a brewery release that I want the recipient to receive. As long as the 2 members are in communication it shouldn’t matter how long it takes.

I will say I’ve participated in almost all of them and sometimes a few of the same members are always near the end to ship and I’d be glad to choose them every round. Unfortunately I never get the chance.

Okay not sure if I made sense but the moral of my post is this is to have fun, socialize and expose ourselves to beers that we normally don’t have access to.

We’ve got a good group participating in these trading threads and I hate to see this fall apart due to indifferences.

Whoever this person is in Upstate NY, I have to meet them some day! Sounds like a pretty good person!
Cheers bud!

My box was received by @jerbrew on May 7th. It’s been confirmed he revived the box. I think he’s been busy and just hasn’t posted pics yet.

Just sit back and enjoy a flashback with a skid row classic.

And continued flashbacks this weekend when I pick up HH South of Eleven 666 cans.

Guys.... I can’t stress it enough. This group of people we have here is amazing.

@imasickboy dropped a mega box on my porch today.

Thanks to guys I’m just about back to where I was before the smashed glass incident of 2019

I don’t know how I did it, or how to undo it.

It's just an opinion of mine. I'm as relaxed as anyone else. I just think if you select beers for a beer exchange you should expect them earlier than 5 weeks after the selection date, that's all. That's it. If daily life gets in the way that bad for beers that you have bundled together since they were in a picture together, especially with most of the beers in this being NEIPA and best drank canned yesterday, people would appreciate receiving their package earlier than that.

I generally don’t send the beers in the picture. I’ll admit I just shipped today but also admit it included beers bought from the brewery this weekend.

I’ll wait to be able to send fresh beer and the best selection possible. Sometimes that takes time.

@TwistedGray your side trade box is not shipped, I’m still waiting. I have a special appointment at OEC this weekend.

Hope you don’t mind limited edition sours and other OEC goodies.

Seemed like a fair trade, right?

Thanks for the RR's, hadn't had these ones

Absolutely no rush - just aim for one shipment unlike my fiasco

I hear ya! It’s seems like we’re both cursed with the shipping issues. I’m hoping to get everything there in one shipment and in one piece.

@MC82 should be getting his beer today finally. Apologies for the delay. I hope the 25 pounds of beer make it worth it.

Fuzzy baby ducks. Terrible beer. I’ll take the hit. Just send it over.

 

[wstbrewing]

We’ve been debating the ‘best fresh’ on the Ducks. A few friends prefer it after a few months.

Check the bottom of the cans, I tried to give a pair of fresh and a pair of ‘aged’ so you can make up your own mind.

Oh yeah, and those spin cycle cans are from different batches, check the bottom of the cans for the hops used.

Enjoy!
