They're due Sunday, but if everyone wants to move it back a week, we can do that. It doesn't matter to me.

I vote yes to moving the offer date back.. otherwise I have one day free to gather goodies once I get home.

I'm fine for moving it back a week (and would allow me to add some more recently-released goodies).
My offer is getting stale because of all you slackers. [emoji23]

Special released IPAs/DIPAs don't drink themselves...just saying. But I might if you add a week...[emoji15]
But if others can get more beer go for it.

I’m going on a trip this weekend to breweries further northeast, so moving it back would have a substantial (positive?) impact on my offer. I’ll still be in regardless, but there may be more Bud Light in my photo than there otherwise would be!

Might give a chance for our temps to lower. Not shipping while Austin does its best Vulcan impression.

Did a nice 3mil walk at town lake. Picked the wrong week to start loosing wait. Maybe I'll start sniffing glue. [emoji39]Feels like 115? That's crazy. Don't ever go anywhere.
Airplane quotes? We need yo have a beer together.
I may just need to hit another can release this weekend. [emoji848]

Quick question, do we need to have our "non-beer" item in the picture with the beer as well? Or is that a mystery?

It's usually disclosed.

Probably my favorite brewery that I've visited - their food is amazing too. Did they still have Gracie on tap when you were there? I'd rank it up there with Dragon Fandango from TG

Or the newer one out in Waukee - crazy amount of beers there, and last time I was there, they were pouring samples from their taps of beers I was looking to buy.

Offer submitted...I went with some beers that will be fine if we end up pushing this round back, so either way is cool with me.

Just as a friendly FYI - With the new timeline, I won't ship until late August when I get back from Canadia.

I've heard USPS is the worst way with fines, floggings, jail time, 1st born removals etc.
Do you know if they will take up to 3 children in one shot?
TwistedGray

Yeah, but I suspect it'll just be a slap on the hand the first time. I cannot imagine they'll fine someone for their first infraction.

So you've got a package in limbo with USPS and FedEx?
TwistedGray
El Jefe Brewing Company
Fedex will no longer allow me to ship because of the disastrous package to @jerbrew. That a$$hole from Fedex put something on my account. I suspect any time I drop a package off that sounds like it has liquid in it, it will immediately be flagged. I tried recently, they called me to get the package or allow them to open in "sounds like you have wine in the box". Needless to say, no more Fedex.
USPS packages are just not delivered yet. One to @Dade0 is quite behind schedule which is obscure giving it's only crossing a few state lines. It should have arrived by now. Another package to an East Coast friend also was not delivered today. It also doesn't help that USPS is friggin lazy as hell at scanning packages in to their system, so tracking is near useless!
For the dade0 package I actually set a tracer on it, so USPS is going to investigate. If they're going to ding me for shipping booze, that's fine...I just want to know. I don't think it'll be that big of a deal for the first infraction, so for now it's worth the gamble of letting them know the box is MIA in their system.
