Yaaaaayyy!!! Thank you Abby! I was starting to wonder if this box had an end for a second.
So we have:
Prairie Funky Galaxy
Prairie America
NoDa Tart Attack
Trinity Saison Man
Crooked Stave Vieille
Crooked Stave Surrette
Crooked Stave L'Brett D'Or
Homebrew Labeled BP
Homebrew Labeled Brett C

Please tell me more about these home brews! So happy to see the crooked stave, I've never had any of Chads beers but have followed his work for some time. I can't wait to try them.

Glad they made it safely!! You gotta send some crooked stave if you're sending sour beers from Colorado. The trinity beer (saison man) is good too. Less hype, but still tasty.
The homebrews are:
Brett C: a lightweight 100% Brett c berliner weiss. Really clean except for some malt and tartness. Low abv, so pretty drinkable.
Face melt: I think this is a really sour beer. Lots of different bugs in there including from wyeast and (I think) Avery and jolly pumpkin. I think it is good in small doses, but I have gotten a lot of positive feedback on it.
BP: is a Baltic porter. It isn't sour, but it fit in the box. Chill this one really well. I think it is a little overcarbed. Enjoy!

Glad you got hooked up! I can vouch the Prairie and Crooked Stave beers are fantastic. Cheers to whoever sent that box.

Glad it all made it safely. Almost sent goose island lolita, bought it but then saw that goose just opened up complete distribution to Colorado so I scraped that and got the other pipeworks.Awesome haul from absoluthamm.
I've had none of these.

Berliner's should be highly carbed, it is true to style. I love berliners, I can't wait to see home my homebrew version turns out.

Fed ex just pulled up!!!
My recipients package went from out for delivery for today to Incorrect Address....
I have contacted my recipient to see if i got something wrong on the address.
No worries, just FedEx being stupid. Correct address, they are just asking for stuff they don't ask for on the other 5 packages a day we get sent there... I won't be in that office til tomorrow anyway, so today or tomorrow, either is fine for me

Awesome! I wasn't sure if you had access to Crooked Stave there but my bottle shop just recently got some so I had to include it.
I had to order the RR from another local shop and opted for shipping instead of transfer from their main store up North to make sure it got here in time to ship so that was the reason for the later shipment.
To tie it all back to HBT: Modern Times is the brewery that OldSock is working with, they recently opened in SD. The canned beers aren't sour but are awesome Hoppy Beers and figured those would do in place of other extras.
Happy that everything arrived in tact!

I love the branding of Modern Times, so clean and recognizable. I have only known of them for a month and I can always recognize their cans, may have to put some on my wants list.

Yeah I was cracking up when I saw the name on the return label of my package.
I'm down to trade again down the line - but I was called out on my beer spending the other night so prob have to wait a couple months

Yeah, had to do a last minute switcheroo to make room for ardy. figured it didn't really matter.
So happy it's here and all in one piece. Got a little idea possibly for future beer trades, use a coffee box to send it in. The FedEx guy said, "looks like it's just coffee, you must drink a lot!", if he only knew...
Got Full Sail Berliner Weiss
Crabtree BrewCo Apricot Cezanne Saison
Odell Friek(Love Odell, really excited about this)
Elevation BeerCo Engel Weisse
Crooked Stave Vieille(Hear about it, never had them though, pumped!)
I've not had any of these beers, just need to work on spacing them out Thanks a lot Mike! Also, I'm kind of a sticker/coaster collector, so if you do get the chance to send those out, you wouldn't hear me complaining.

I actually haven't tried the Crabtree (i have one in my cellar), but the guy at the bottle shop said it was good stuff. let me know what you think.So happy it's here and all in one piece.

I will grab stickers and coasters next time i'm at Crooked Stave.
Will do. I kind of a cellar whore with beers that change with age, so who knows who will get to it first

great design and I love how much info they disclose about each brew right on the can
I have pretty easy access to the 4 cans offered now:

If you want to do a trade at some point next year i'd be down

dang my box was supposed to land today, but there was a "delivery exception." Someone in Texas should have some Ohio beer tomorrow though.
Got the same thing for my box with Fedex going to Ohio.
Delivery exception
********, OH
No attempt made, delivery scheduled for next business day
That's actually my fault and not FedEx's. After a box mysteriously disappeared from my front door I signed up for their delivery watch thing and have all incoming packages held at a nearby store. The neighbors aren't getting another once of my beer. So it should be dropped off there today and I will be heading over to pick it up the minute the email notification arrives - I'm excited.

Well, it now says it'll be there on Tuesday. At least the neighbors won't get it.
So is he the second to last one then?
Not sure, the one I sent is scheduled to drop on Monday as I got the same shipping exception that he got.
