It's funny, living in Portland, that's a beer I can get at the super market and pass it up every year. I wonder what beers you guys pass up all the time that I would love to get my hands on.

120 minute and Would Wide Stout for me. The only downfall is that in this archaic state you can either buy only the whole case of be forced to buy single bottles at marked up bar pricing. Oooh yea...in the winter time there's a food truck that has heady topper and serves only gourmet hot dogs.

All packaged. 40 pounds of goodness ready to ship. This is going to be ridiculously expensive isn't it?

40 lbs? That is going to be a bomb!!! I'm excited to see a picture of what you are sending.

And depending on how far you are sending it'll probably be around $35 or so.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

That's not bad at all! I'm not going to spoil the surprise in the package, but there is some really decent stuff in the box that is native to the area only. Shame I couldn't package a proper cheese steak to go into it.

You guys are awesome. Two guys shipped yesterday. Well done!

Where do you consider the best cheesesteak? My sister lives in Ambler. My favorite place she has taken us is Delessandro's, super tasty. Typically we don't get into the city though and there is a good place near her house. I wasn't impressed with the big famous places across the street from each other, don't remember the name.

Yea stay away from those places. IMO its Steve's Prince of Steaks

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Those were Pats and Genos. Horribly over priced tourist traps lol

 

[coldcrash]

Just picked up a few trinkets to drop in the box.

Almost ready to pack and ship!

Got my bombers ready, bought a sweet styrofoam wine bottle shipper. There's 12 spots so I guess I'll have to get some extra goodies! I'll get some sweet schwag from a local brewery and off it goes on Monday (I hope).

Is it the U-haul wine bottle shipper? Have you used that before?

 

[mikeysab]

Those things are awesome. So much better than newspaper and bubble wrap

 

[Indytruks138]

I'll be using a similar one of these this time. I still put each bottle in a ziplock just in case.

Philly box.

I think I may be more excited to go shopping this weekend than I am to get a package... until I ship mine, then I'll be anxiously staring out the window at anything that sounds like a ups or fedex truck!

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Lol I hear you there

Stopped at the liquor store after work today and picked up some great beers! Might be tough to lay my hands off before I ship these out!

Speaking of shipping... Anyone have some tips for how to ship 120 plus oz of beer? I've never shipped beer before and I don't want to screw up the nice package someone is about to recieve!

Breakage is more likely to occur from things inside the box hitting each other than something outside hitting the box so make sure everything is extremely snug inside the box.

The best tip ever if you think it's good enough add more packing material you can never have to much. Oh and put each bottle in a Ziploc bag.

The above tips are great. Makes sure its all snug, I would wrap each bottle in bubblewrap. Put a bit of packing material between the bottles and the wall of the box too.

And one tip that I think is understated...put all of it in a garbage bag. This way if something does break, its less likely to leak and get returned.

A small investment in packing material will save you big bucks in the end.
