First BiaB haul!

I loathe their packaging.

But it's so reusable!

If the tubes don't fall out of the single wall cardboard!

Good point is good.

I've always been a big fan of it. I get the outside boxes aren't the best (never had any issues myself), but the fact that the tubes are basically indestructible and reusable are big bonuses in my book. Different strokes.

I like the fact that with Etre you are getting a 12 bottle shipper. And if you open the bubble wrap the right way, you can reuse those too. I find the BiaB tubes too cumbersome to really be useful.

All the boxes I've got have a foam board shield around the entire inside of the package.

Ive gotten two boxes from them, one with 5 bottles, one with 19. Both had a foam board shield on the top and bottom but the closest either came to having protection on the sides was some crumpled up brown craft paper

If you had experienced the other sites I order from, BIAB would seem heavenly to you I promise haha. I had one come in basically a thin wine case with the paper-like dividers (the ones that connect at the bottom ) and just peanuts. Case of RdG. No bubble wrap, no nothing. Somehow nothing broke, but BIAB is way better than some of the other ones. Cheers.

A few years ago I ordered an Armand set. They just wrapped the bottles in tissue, put them inside the wooden collector's box and put that inside a cardboard box. It was a miracle nothing broke.

I give no ***** about your cherry jam.

would ***** be given if it was packaged on 11/27?

Negative. I don't really care for jam/jelly on my toast.

I stopped feeling bad for you at "I ordered an Armand set" and the lack of sorrow felt only got worse after "collector's box" haha.

This happened to me recently when I ordered 10 bottles of Lambiek Special. Only issue was, one of the bottles broke. Was given a credit on a future order, but I'm honestly scared to order again, as this was a box with just cardboard insert dividers, and there were absolutely no wrapping materials used. I feel lucky that only one bottle was broken.

Damn!!! Great box from quirk6 really excited to try OEC and pumped about the braggot. I brewed one last year and have really only tried a few commercial braggots. Thanks a ton!

I know the bottle of Grandis Hydromelita says that it ages beautifully or something, but I think it's much better fresh and would recommend it that way.

Met up with NAPO today for a small IP trade. Lambent and Auroral, I look forward to trying these.

Don't be surprise if I send you a box soon because of your patience. Cheers!

It was a difficult wait, what with the flight of beer and delicious pizza...

These just came in from Belgium. Much excite!

Just make sure you roll it properly, right?


Still upset with myself I didn't roll the bottles enough!

 

[Stubs]

Thanks Photekut !



Free beer plus an extra!

You don't have to roll all the beers, just the Salsus Singularis. But hey, if that's how you roll...

I'm hoping their new bakery comes with equally weird instructions. "Place bread in center of room and recite satanic pledge while preparing the fruit preserves. Serve at 65 degrees"
