[Thorrak]

Someone got a visit from Doug yesterday!!!

Yes indeed they did!

I’ve got the beer in the fridge now, and the stickers pending attachment to the beer hauler (cooler). Thanks again for the amazing box - really looking forward to getting into these!

Sweet! All of the magnanimous beers were canned in the middle of February so I would probably hit those first! That's one of my favorite places in Tampa

Doug delivered quite possibly the most efficiently packed box of beer I e ever seen courtesy of @pshankstar
What a box man, thank you!!

I have to say I was pretty impressed myself but was a bit nervous. I’m glad it all arrived safely!

Now the crowler from Crafty’s is the brewery that supports our HB club. It was supposed to be their Obeah Coffee Porter, but when I was boxing everything up I noticed it was labeled something else. Please let me know if it’s a coffee Porter or not, I think it was labeled Dark Star which is just a standard stout. Crafty’s makes some solid classic style beers!

Copper Leaf just celebrated their two year anniversary. A good friend and fellow home brewer went pro and started Copper Leaf. He makes some delicious beers too.

I hope all the beer is new to you! Cheers!

 

[CrookedLaker]

Thanks @Thorrak for this awesome box. Everyone made it in one peice and I can't wait to dive in!

 

[pshankstar]

Quiet round & nothing wrong with that. Anyone get any deliveries from Doug recently? I just love seeing what everyone gets.

 

[CrookedLaker]

I can't blame it on Doug, I grabbed fresh beer and haven't dropped it off yet. This week!

Haha it wasn’t directed at you, I promise. I was expecting to see some posts while in England last week and was surprised there wasn’t any.
No rush either. My beer fridge died while I was away too. Trying to figure out a replacement solution.

I'm happy to store some of it for you if you need help

No guarantees you'll get it back, though

 

[aharri1]

Still waiting on @duncan.brown I'll keep you guys updated! And no rush @duncan.brown I know how things can get!

 

[duncan.brown]

I picked up the last few beers for the box last night, so I plan on getting it out this weekend!

Sounds good man!

 

[orionol73]

We're all a bit slow..

 

[orionol73]

Confirmed it is the stout @pshankstar. Still quite good

Yeah they make some great classic style beers!

 

[orionol73]

paging @jerbrew - I have your box packed and ready to go but it needs an address

 

[duncan.brown]

@aharri1 your mystery box is finally boxed up! Hopefully, the last beer I picked up today will make it worth the wait. Will DM you the tracking number tomorrow.

Sounds awesome! Can't wait!

 

[duncan.brown]

Ok, @aharri1 a big brown truck is coming with a big brown box with a big “glass vase” in it.

 

[Nagorg]

WOW... ~3.5 months since the original post and folks are just now shipping? Maybe I could have gotten away with a Mystery Box and delayed shipping after-all.. lol

 

[aharri1]

Thanks @duncan.brown UPS was on point today and delivered this 30 minutes ago! I have had some of the main beers but not all of those. Thank you so much! I've never had any buried acorn. I'm excited to try that! They're all in the refrigerator! I'm going to drink the IPAs from oldest to newest date

 

[duncan.brown]

Little Whale Boat is my favorite IPA that is not Pliny. The Coop sells out in 24 hours when they get it in! Buried Acorn is a local brewery that specializes in sours and barrel aged beers. I don’t think they distribute outside the local area. Watch out for Satan’s Little Helper!

Don’t say we didn’t try to tell you!

 

[orionol73]

checking in on receipt status, I know that my and @CrookedLaker offers are in transit. Don't think there should be many others waiting still.

@aharri1 , you have next round when everything has been received

 

[aharri1]

Cool man. I've never done one before so, I will just need a little assistance on how to get everything running!!! Other than that I'm ready!

 

[aharri1]

I made sure to drink the oldest ones first over the weekend! Hehe @duncan.brown

I’m still waiting on @fourfarthing but I asked him to hold the shipment for a bit.

 

[duncan.brown]

I’ll have to struggle through this cask conditioned ale in these terrible surroundings while I’m waiting…

 

[aharri1]

@duncan.brown A very well made beer. A little more on the tart side for my personal taste, but very well made nonetheless. It went well with smoked cheddar!

 

[orionol73]

double post

 

[orionol73]

Certainly. @Thorrak has a super awesome tool to manage it that he will share with you soon I’m sure

 

[Thorrak]

In light of some recent news, I will take over running the swap for the next round. Sadly, per @DrGMG , aharri1 passed away yesterday.

Although I mostly knew him through his participation in the Fellowship, every interaction that I had with him was positive, and showed him to be an enthusiastic, fun-loving person. He was a frequent participant in both the FotHB and Fellowship of the Drink, and his absence is one that will be sorely felt. Our heart goes out to his family, friends, and @DrGMG .

 

[CrookedLaker]

So sorry to hear this.

I am at a loss of words!! I’ve only known him through HBT but he will be sorely missed.
Here’s to @aharri1’s family, friends and @DrGMG !!!
