4pm start time for a bullpen game today. Padres bats will need to put in extra work unless Morejon manages to blank the first 3 innings

4pm?? What are we drinking for first pitch? rcubed

Like the Padres starting pitcher today, no clue at this time.

My guess... Morejon -> Altavilla -> Stammen -> Johnson/Strahm -> Hill(if game is tight)Pagan(if wiggle room) -> Pomeranz -> Rosenthal

Edit: Richards might be in there instead of Hill/Pagan, but I fear that he kinda tweaked his knee last night when we was throwing a few practice pitches. It did not look like he landed well.

 

[Tyrsis]

lolllllllllllllllllll Stammen is starting

hope we score like 15 runs or we're ******

I put in an order for NPBC's new Italian pils (and a couple other beers). Looking forward to tasting Kelsey's take on the style.

Another solid lambic pack by Cantillon this morning.
Another day of crashing their new vendor website for a good 30minutes (damn 'muricans)

about 130USD for 2xFou, 2x50N4E, 1xMagic, and 1xLPK'17

Now just to get it stateside.

what is that going to run you altogether after shipping?

 

[rcubed1]

Saw that and well... guess I don't get as excited these days nor want to spend that kind of money.

Ends up being roughly 2 hundo after shipping.

I hear ya, but I am slowly turning my offsite into just lambic these days and purchasing significantly less beers here stateside. Also reducing my memberships again come 2021.

This morning was the first time I've ever been successful on a Cantillon sale. I'm stoked.

I hear ya, but I am slowly turning my offsite into just lambic these days and purchasing significantly less beers here stateside. Also reducing my memberships again come 2021.

This year, I converted my offsite to all lambic (with some Westvleteren) and also got my entire collection down to zero Bruery bottles. I'm not sure which of these accomplishments I'm more proud of.

I definitely can't drink sour and barrel aged beer like I used to.

Aren't you only in your early 30s?

That is really affordable. Damn, I should have given that a shot.

 

[sdreaper]

I expected the pack itself to be significantly more, but Cantillon doesn't play that secondary game and it is roughly a tad cheaper than what I would pay to drink the same 6 bottles onsite. Etre will likely do a 20ish euro proxy/pickup and then shipping will prolly be around 40 euro since it will just be under weight enough for a small box.

Although will likely combine shipping another set with a buddy since that would save each of us about 10euro.

 

[rcubed1]

No, closer to 40 now.

 

[sdreaper]

No, closer to 40 now.

Ah gotcha, so around my age then. For some reason I always through you were like 5 years younger than I. #teamold

I'm surprised shipping is that cheap. It costs more for me to ship a box from here to SD

I think he’s wrong about the shipping fwiw, unless he’s talking about splitting the costs.

The Brabantiae 6pk was just above the 10kg limit for Etre’s minimum shipping rate. The 20kg box is 81 euros for shipping (at least to the east coast). I’m guessing it comes closer to $250 for the 6 bottles, before adding other bottles to fill the 20kg box.

 

[sdreaper]

****, I think you're right. The 3F 6pk falls right under the 10kg limit but Cantillon bottles are a bit thicker/heavier and might tip it right over.

Edit: But I can say the 25kg box is 81euros to the west coast as well.

Even if it was under 10kg, I'd probably still fill one of the larger boxes with some inexpensive bottles to bring that shipping cost/bottle down.

And another "****", it looks like the Brabantiae 6pk proxy fee was 30e, not 20e.

Yup, got a response from Etre this morning that their fee will be 30euro.

Meh, still worth to me. If I sold lambic I could honestly sell off one of the 50n bottles to cover almost all costs.

 

[Tyrsis]

Yeah, still seems worth it.
