@TBC
Will you be down my way at all for me to pass you an extra bottle for his box?

Not sure where your at. I’ll be in Palmyra about 10min from Troegs next Saturday and Sunday for a soccer tournament. I’m also supposed to be off on Friday and can do a liquid lunch at Columbia Kettle Works if that works.

Got my package from TBC today. Looks like a great selection and man, does he know how to package beer. Someone take care of him for me. Let’s get him some beer.
 
@Blackdirt_cowboy Glad everything made it. Enjoy. As I said they are all from PA except the 2 NEIPA from CT. They are solid in my opinion so I wanted to make sure I sent you good examples of NEIPAs since your just experiencing them.

Also save that Plated box. They are excellent for shipping beer!
 
That 2 Roads Two Juicy is legit I am on Long Island and get it often, for the money it's hard to compete with when Other Half, Grimm, Sand City and Treehouse are more than twice the price at $9-$10 a can. Sorry I cant help ya with some beer I am not anywhere near the requirements to participate

The desire to participate is usually enough to warrant participation.
 
RULES:

1: Must be a member for 90 days + 100 post count

:bott: I guess I'll wait being the new guy no worries :mug:

Meh, those are more like guidelines, and the way the LOT thread works it doesn't really matter that much, in my opinion. The concept being that you would grant the last person by shipping them beer...no one would ship to you (or grant) until your shipment to the last person has been confirmed. That usually solves any issues :)

The only issue I see here is that @TBC is in PA and you're in NY, so I am not sure if there are beers that TBC can't just drive and get himself. Perhaps he'll post up here to let us know. Otherwise, you might be stuck waiting for someone to grant TBC so that you can grant that someone.
 
Can we get someone to grant @TBC ?

He lives waaaay to floccing close for me to send him beer. So close, that it would be hand delivered. Can someone step up and get this moving again?
 
I'd love to get in on this too. If I understand this correctly, someone would have to grant jturman35 after he ships to TBC.

I don't have 100 posts, but I've been a member for awhile. I have plenty of Delaware breweries at my disposal. I would be more than happy to put something together for jturman35
 
@Louz

That is correct, once @TBC confirms tracking information supplied by @jturman35 then he is available to be granted. At that point he provide his beer style preference, and then you can grant him supplying beers of that style. After you provide tracking details to him you are then available to be granted.

Cautionary note for 1st timers: At some point you will have a package confiscated by whichever delivery service you use. You should know that it is illegal to ship alcohol without the proper shipping permits in place which you won't have, so proceed with caution. The repercussions are nonexistent though, so don't worry. No need to ask how I know. Furthermore, you should be prepared with shipping a second package in the event your first one disappears...perhaps that's a "goes without saying" thing, but best to know what you are getting into ahead of time.

Packaging information: ALWAYS line your package with a trash bag that is tied and tape shut to prevent leakage. For packaging the beer, we are all a bit different, but a few commonalities. Your beer should be packaged in some kind of "waterproof" barrier such as a ziplock bag or a foodsaver bag. While not waterproof, per say, it helps in the event you do have a minor leak (foodsaver would be better, I think, in this case). It should then be bubble wrapped (or similar) to avoid it from hitting something else causing one or both vessels to rupture. Finally, you should put something in the box that makes a rattling sound to prevent the sloshing sound of the beer. Some people use jars of pennies, candies, or both :)

Final thought: The LOT thread becomes the wormhole for the FotD trades...you'll get sucked in. It is natural, don't fight it. It's a great crowd over there, and many of the same (if not all of the same) go back and forth between LOT and FotD trades. You've been warned :)

Wow nicely said! Yes @Louz, you have been warned! [emoji6]
