North NJ/NY groupbuy #4 July/August

I'd probably like to get in on this too. I'll be brewing tomorrow and see what I'll need. Location is slightly important and I'd be willing to pick up for others. I'm in the Bear Mountain area for those in Rockland, Orange, Westchester, Bergen Counties. I may have a couple others who could get in on my order as well.

This buy is dead. The person who originally ran it posted that he couldn't do it anymore, which was the first blow. I tried to resurrect it, but there wasn't much interest so it fell to the wayside. By the time people started speaking up, Country Malt stopped taking new accounts.

So to sum it up, unless the original organizer, or someone else with a prior account through Country Malt decides to organize this group buy, it's dead and buried.

I recommend you check out the South Jersey buy and organize together to mitigate the pick-up cost. I've been doing that with my homebrew club and it has been working great.

I know a guy at West Point Military Academy that has an account (I'm not sure if mine is still active or even what my acct # would be) however the delivery point is in Newburgh. How much interest is there for there? Again, I can help out to a certain degree on pickup.

Unless it was really close I'd probably be out. The South Jersey one has been working really good for my club. I'd be interested, but it would have to be somewhere in North Jersey, preferably not too far up the GSP.
