Excuse my ignorance on this, you can ship beer? My son lives 10 hours from me and I didn’t know this was allowed.
Are you using UPS, USPS, or Fed - Ex?

 

[Boilinginsc]

We have good shine distillery around here to but I know that’s a big no.

 

[LBussy]

Um, stuff happens. You might have noticed that people apply "noisemakers" such as Runts and lately, Mac and Cheese boxes to thwart over-zealous regulation application.

Whoa, what is this sorcery you’re trying to pull here?

I apologize to @orionol73 but I may be last. But I’ll make it worth the wait.

Super cool fun happy box from @bwible

The glass was a nice added bonus. While I already have like a dozen glasses I don't need, I don't have one of this style. In other words, I need it- that's what I'll tell the wife. She's mostly understanding.

So happy everything made it intact.

Used to go to this one bar near Roxbury NY and drink $0.75 Genny Cream Ale on tap on weekdays before 6:00. Loved that place.

You guys in NY - I heard awhile back Pabst brought Schaefer beer back and they are brewing it again in NY for the first time in decades. And they re-branded the packaging. Are you guys seeing this?

I’ve been able to find it here in PA but always in the old school cans, only in 30 packs and its been hit or miss as to when I can find it. Haven’t seen it recently.

Oh man - the box that just arrived downstairs was massive!

Very well packaged, and full of great beer to boot! Looking forward to getting these chilled down and cracking them open! Thanks again for the great offer, @jimyson !

Schaefer is,
the one beer to have,
When you're having more than one!

I haven’t seen it around much in Central New York. Apparently, they relaunched it down in the city first with plans to expand to the rest of the state. Pabst owns the brand and it's brewed under contract at F. X. Matt in Utica.

 

[duncan.brown]

Interesting, there’s been a resurgence of re-creating these old-skool brands in New York. @jimyson would have got a can of Congress Lager, had it not disappeared from the fridge. It must be popular as I went back to Willow Rock to pick up some more and they had sold out!

This is what I saw - Sept 2020?

I’ll look next time I go to Wegmans. If they don’t have it, no one upstate does.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. You are asking experts in shipping and receiving. I'm at maybe, 30 packages? Not only can we give advice on how to lie about your contents but even better, safe wrapping practices. We've had packages confiscated returned. I've had packages with the beer explode in the package still delivered by USPS, with a warning letter.

 

[Boilinginsc]

Good to know!

 

[fourfarthing]

Someone has mail

 

[JamesonFan]

Received. And holy cow. I will post pics in the morning. Thanks @fourfarthing. Never ever ever disappointed.

 

[duncan.brown]

Celebrating being covid free with this wonderful wild ale. Thanks @orionol73 and paxlovid!

 

[JamesonFan]

Just an absolute bomb. Can’t thank you enough @fourfarthing.

You said you wanted some lagers...

 

[gromitdj]

Seeing some of these packages makes me feel like the person that picked me got shafted...

Nothing is on offer other than your initial post. Other people (me) being stupid and wasting money to toss in bonus beers should have no impact on how you feel about what you send out the door.

 

[aharri1]

@Nagorg everything you sent was solid sir! Thank you !! This included of course.

Me too, I followed the rules too literally. First time I'm participating here, live and learn.
