Thanks again Canti4341. Looking forward to hittin you back as much as I am drinking these.

Sweet score. I've still got an RU55 I got from Canti last round, just waiting for the right moment....

 

[Cathedral]

My box is ready, but it was -10 this morning, and the place it's headed to isn't any warmer. Unfortunately, the lows aren't supposed to get out of the negative digits for another 10 days. I have to admit, I'm damn nervous.

Ru 55 is awesome. Everything i've had from JK has been excellent.

I'm crazy nervous as well! I just dropped mine off this evening. It's cold as hell here and "there." I bomb proof packages, but that won't defend against freezing temps.

Fingers crossed!

 

[g-love]

Don't worry fellas (and ladies), I don't claim the Cowgirls either! Haha

I'm so glad they made it, Curt. Fedex really needs to stop f***ing with me! Enjoy!

EDIT: Curt, there should be a RABC keychain in the glass as well

Splatt, that haul is sick!

And yeah, FedEx must have it out for you! They delivered the last one you sent me to some unknown person who was nice enough to bring it to my house days later. Jeez!

A 49.8 pound box has begun it's noble journey. May the beer gods see it through on it's journey safely.

That may win the award for heaviest box I've even heard of shipping.

No joke, nice going Psycotte! :rockin:

 

[ledhead72486]

Wow almost 50 pounds! Nice! Can't wait to see those pictures...

 

[ardyexfor]

Is there a couple bricks in that box? Mine is on its way to the east coast. Hope the weather is kind to it... not sure who its even going to.

 

[Psycotte]

Canti set the bar. I had to at least compete.

 

[pluchar]

How many oz is that box??

 

[Psycotte]

384 Pluchar.

 

[pluchar]

Solid, thanks! I was looking at my stash to send out and wasn't sure where abouts mine would land, pound wise

 

[DrPhunk]

damn you people! I thought I was done shopping but now I obviously have to go get something bigger to cram in this box.

Maybe a growler fill from the local brewpub is in order :rockin:

SWMBO says we are all stroking the beer peen to see whose is biggest.

I guess that makes me the weird guy in the corner stroking and crying?

Next round I'm going to big box beer peen porn splooge all over this *****. Hmm possibly the strangest sentence I've ever typed.

I learned from last swap-o-rama that the beer peen is King. I need to get Hamm back as my next swap and do the right thing.:rockin:

Thanks for inferring I've done the "wrong" thing; appreciate it.

 

[Psycotte]

Nick I didn't infer that you did the wrong thing. I'm in referring to myself from last swaparama when I had him as my trade partner I should have sent him more. Please don't take it that way.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Thanks for inferring I've done the "wrong" thing; appreciate it.

I don't think that was a shot at you man, he had him on the last swap

 

[Psycotte]

Exactly. I should have bombed Hamm as well as Nick did.

I misinterpreted what was typed.

Thanks for the PM Psycotte, I replied back.

No worries at all man. Thanks for your reply.

 

[ledhead72486]

Alright someone has a box out for delivery as we speak! It is right around freezing there so at least not -12 windchill like it is here.

 

[ardyexfor]

I don't think everyone expects big crazy bombs anyways. I don't think that's necessarily the spirit of this. Its all about getting the chance to try some new and fun beers. As long as you are within the rules of the trade you are good. Lots of extras are cool but not everyone has deep pockets.

 

[ledhead72486]

Yeah sorry mine is not a 50 lb box! I think I got some good stuff in there, just hoping the recipient enjoys!

 

[ivegot2legs]

Man, I had 38 pounds and I thought I had a lot. So did the FedEx guy.

 

[ardyexfor]

I assume its OK to send non local beer as extras. There's a rather large well known brewery that surprisingly is not distributed to my recips state, so I had to throw some in. Hope that's OK.

You are spot on Ardy. This round I just had some extra cash I could throw at this swap so why not? As for the rules....

I think all these swap-a-ramas should also have a "Must include a homebrew" if you are a brewer rule. I had an apfelwein from Splattsmier last night that was simply awesome.

 

[TCGoose]

Shopping is done. Gonna pack up tonight and send out tomorrow. Hopefully it'll warm up where I'm sending it. Stayed super local with this one. Bay Area only.

 

[TheMan]

Ok, im finally back online. Read through 11 pages lol. If anyone needs a little extra time due to weather, thats all good.

And yes, non local is ok as long as you are certain it's not distributed there.

 

[Johnnyhitch1]

This round is littered with easterners!!

 

[nunyafnb]

And at least one Minnesotan...

Current weather report as of 11:15 AM:

Temperature: -11F
Windchill: -24F
Projected HIGH today: A balmy -3F

Monday's forecasted high: -5


Yeah, it's nice up here in God's Country, I know you're all jealous!

I don't know how often these shipping companies leave packages in trucks and trailers, but man, I'm considering waiting until Monday to ship so it doesn't sit over the weekend here, and keeps moving along it's intended route.

I'd recommend it since TheMan just said it was all good. Waiting for beer > busted beer.

Well according to seekabrew it isnt. I also asked another member from the are who said it rarely is seen there and hard to find when it is.

 

[SavoryChef]

It looks like my package is out for delivery today. I hope it doesn't freeze, it's 18 degrees there right now.

 

[ledhead72486]

My package has landed!

Left At:
Carport

It is about 30 there now so hopefully it makes it inside!

 

[SavoryChef]

Mine now says Friday Delivery
