Cheers from Austin. This was super tasty.
What’s the deal here?
@wstbrewing said he was going to try and get a box out when he ships his FotD box this week or next. We’ve been messaging each other.
It’s packed up. Will be shipped today or tomorrow!
Haha that’s part of participating in the LOT. There’s a lot of activity and some slow parts too. I’ll be sure to update when @wstbrewing is up to grant/receive. [emoji1417]
Hallelujah I shipped today. I’ll pm the tracking when I get home.
I'm from Central PA (Hershey/Harrisburg area). I have access to Tattered Flag, Troegs, Boneshire (and a few others in crowler form a bit less frequently like Millworks, Zeroday, Moo-Duck, Iron Hill, etc.)
I'm looking for just anything "new" from parts I won't be able to have access to. I've never done beer trading (so obviously I have no beer trade feedback) but want to start making regular trade partners and start becoming a beer trader. (Less drinking out and more drinking can/bottle at home).
Any help would be great. Thanks all!
Will I get a message with the person's address and everything or will it be posted in here? Just wanting to make sure I do everything by the book.I’ll grant you after the box from @wstbrewing arrives. Assuming there is no one else in line, but I’ll double check. Then you can work with him to get a box together to ship to him. Once he receives the box from you, the next person will ship a box to you to enjoy.
I think I got that all straight. It’s been a long day.

Thanks.
Addresses and tracking numbers get sent via private message or conversation (I forget what HBT calls them) between the two people.
You will see when your time is up to ship and then receive but always feel free to ask any questions here.
Ok thanks. So, I'll start off with some basic questions:
1) 48oz is the minimum to ship?
2) Whats best to ship - FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc?
3) What is generally the cost to ship 48oz?
4) Is there an ABV limit (minimum or maximum)? Do people typically request what styles (ie. stout/sour/IPA)?
5) Does brewery size matter? (ie. Microbrewery vs. Nanobrewery vs. Large/Regional Brewery)?
Thanks!
Awesome information guys, I greatly appreciate it. Being Central PA, I have access to Troegs which is a bigger regional place, which most people along the east coast can get, but I also have access to some smaller breweries like Boneshire, Tattered Flag, Rotunda, and a few others (problem with some of them is they only do crowlers and don't do their own bottling or canning).
I would never say no to a fresh crowler and I’m sure others would agree. I’ve sent some crowlers from NY to CA a few times.
Those smaller breweries would probably be a good choice, but if my memory is correct Troegs does have some brewery only beers that would be a good choice too. Their splinter series come to mind and some of their one offs (aka “scratch” beers). Pizza Boys and Mellow Mink are two places I like to stop at on my way through that area. Troegs too but it’s a little out of the way but worth it. Anyhow...
WST and TG provided a heck of a lot of good information! It members like this here on HBT that make it such a great community of people!
I’ll post a picture of the box that arrives from @wstbrewing today assuming it’s not delayed. That will help give you an idea too but definitely go back in the thread to see.
Cheers bud and welcome!
I don't think there is any timeline to ship but just be in touch with the person who is shipping to you out of courtesy. Most of us are in similar positions and life is more important than beer, which we all respect and understand. @wstbrewing has been insanely busy with life too (congrats again on everything bud!) and it's taken over a month to ship. No big deal b/c it's just beer. Also it's not uncommon for there to be some time to find out what the person likes and time to acquire those beers too. I know when I ship beers, I try to make sure they are fresh cans/bottles especially if they are IPAs or heavily fruited beers, so that always adds some times.Whats the turnaround time neccessary to send? Due to work (two jobs), kids (sports this time of year), it probably won't be this Thursday but the next (6.13) that I would be able to send. Would that be ok? If not, you can push me back one, that'd be fine.
Ok, didn't know if it was a very punctual thing and that I'd be holding everything up or anything.

While I highly recommend Rotunda Sours. I highly recommend you don’t ship them as you can see from the pic they either aren’t done fermenting or they are going through a secondary fermentation due to the fruit. The cans will most likely pop while in transit this time of year.

Thank you so much @wstbrewing!! You nailed it and I can finally try the ducks!!!
Now let’s get this kind gentleman some beers!!!
You haven't had the Ducks? Even for a non-IPA guy, they're pretty yummy!
I’m in no rush, but am I supposed to be sending my info to someone? Not sure who’s next in line.
Bump cause I just left my third brewery in a Friday night after work.
Yummy yummy put some beer in my tummies! I've been slowly collecting some beers for either a LOT or FOTD trade...at least in the LOT thread you get exactly what you want. The FOTD is a little bit of a gamble...like going to the Goodwill store looking for something very specific. Unless it's a dress coat or sport jacket from the 70s (or later) you have no guarantees.
