Secret Santa Sour Swap

[ardyexfor]

That's still a nice spread for having a casualty.

 

[ivegot2legs]

Alright, here we go! I got a sweet box of beers on my porch last night. I tried the kriek last night. Everything arrived nicely chilled since it is 7 degrees here. One small casualty (monks cafe, I think) despite everything being well wrapped. Luckily, that one has decent distro here. Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to getting into the rest of these.

You're welcome.

That's too bad about the monk's, it seemed like such a strong bottle. At least it's distributed there; I know it's not rare but I picked that up from the actual Monk's Cafe (headed there now actually). Maybe it froze and burst....

I'm glad everything else made if, and the break didn't affect the delivery. I had a couple of glasses of KBS before I packed up and forgot to bag everything.

How did you like the Kriek? I haven't had one in awhile.

Totally possible, since it had to sit out there for a bit before I got home to bring it inside. It wasn't just a broken piece, the whole thing was busted up, but was luckily contained by the bubble wrap. The double box saved it. No wetness on the outside box. The packing and inside box absorbed most of it.

How did you like the Kriek? I haven't had one in awhile.

I enjoyed it. The sour was still pretty subtle, but present. A little funk in there too. It was nice. I really loved the aroma too. It hit me as soon as I opened the bottle. Good stuff.

 

[absoluthamm]

And sent.

Should be a box landing today! That is if the weather doesn't having anything to say about it.

Coff your blog is some good reading, I like it.

Hey thanks man, Ive learned a ton from blogs over the years and always found it fun to follow along with other peoples beers and stuff.

Why whoever could have shipped me such a lovely package ! It came in yesterday and I already enjoyed the Prairie Standard. I've only ever had Merica before this, these guys are killin it. Thanks so much!

Looks like Canti killed it again!

 

[Indytruks138]

Someone in OR has a box out for delivery!

 

[ardyexfor]

I think there's at least two Santas in Oregon participating. I don't think this one is mine though because FedEx and UPS don't show anything coming my way...

 

[Indytruks138]

The Eagle has landed in Portland. Hope you enjoy it.

 

[mikeysab]

Any eagles land in Plano?

 

[Indytruks138]

Not for me, and Canti is out of town for the weekend.

 

[mikeysab]

Sorry man. Tracking hasn't even updated. Hopefuly the last minute additions make up for the delay. Sorry dude.

 

[tripplehazzard]

All I know is my package will be received on Monday

 

[ardyexfor]

My recipient should have their package landing today!

[ardyexfor]

[Indytruks138]

[blizzard]

I feel like a cheapass after seeing this package! At least my recipient seemed happy. Nice set...

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks again! Also, is it pretty easy to get Westbrook Gose there? If so, we should do a side trade in a couple of weeks.

Cheers.

I had to trade to get the Westbrook, unfortunately they do not distribute to TX. I am down to my last few cans, and its soooo good. Glad you liked it.

 

[terrapinj]

shipped out today

 

[Irrenarzt]

I had no idea you got Trinity in New Mexico! Nice!

Trinty is not available in NM, but it is somewhat available in CO.

 

[absoluthamm]

Has everyone shipped yet?

 

[tripplehazzard]

Has everyone shipped yet?

Yup. Mine should be landing today

 

[Irrenarzt]

Probably a question best left for Two Hearted but mine was shipped and received. I'm still waiting on mine but I just got back from a week in CA/Beer Camp so I asked for mine to be held. A big thanks to Two Hearted and to my Secret Santa as I am looking forward to getting mine.

Did you get to go to Sierra Nevada beer camp?

 

[Irrenarzt]

Yep, I went this past week. It was an absolutely incredible time. I highly recommend people to try like hell to get in. It's totally worth it. Making a video sucks but it's so worth it.

 

[Brewbien]

Shipped.

 

[mhurst111]

shipped mine today - tracking # sent to two hearted

 

[tripplehazzard]

Im burning up Inside!!!!

 

[Indytruks138]

I am getting upset with the weather and UPS/Fedex. Both my Friday and Saturday boxes didn't arrive and UPS advised they would get one of them too me today, nope, hopefully Fedex does me right tomorrow.

 

[ardyexfor]

Yeah FedEx has been pissing me off too!

Your sender held off to make sure you got it after you got back from beer camp. Should be on its way! How was beer camp?

 

[terrapinj]

Thanks santa!

Really excited to try these.
