I'm looking for pliny the elder or younger. I'm willing to trade anything I can find in NC, and my personal cellar has stuff like uinta labrynth, avery mephistopheles, and others. I also just got a case of bells hopslam.

Does anybody happen to live close to Russian River and want to set up some type of regular trading for their more rare releases (like the next round of Beatification)? I live in the midwest and tend to go to any of the following breweries for major releases: -Kuhnhenn (Barrel Aged 4D release 2x a year in bottles) -Dark Horse (Barrel Aged Plead the Fifth every December) -Founders (Backstage releases, KBS in March) -Bells (Black Note Stout, but who knows if I'll even have a chance to get there in time) -Jolly Pumpkin (La Roja Grand Reserve) -Three Floyds (Dark Lord in March) -Upland (Lambics) -Jackie O's (tons of barrel aged stuff, 2-3 bottle releases every couple months) Corb3t fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Jan 21, 2012 |

Does anybody have access to a ridiculous amount of Pliny? I'm talking like 8+ bottles, and at least 2.5 weeks fresh of when you'd able to ship. I understand that at most places there's a limit of a few bottles, but I'm not sure if you can get a bunch if you know the right people... This is just mostly for reference, I probably won't be able to trade for a month or two!

I've been to virtually every place in town that stocks Pliny and I've never seen one that would give me more than two at a time. It's actually far easier and cheaper to just find the bars that stock Pliny (although this might be totally different the closer you get to Santa Rosa). The condition that "I don't know when I want them but they have to be fresh" is a bit difficult too, I think since most places that get them just get them whenever Russian River happens to ship them. But good luck!

But good luck! This is why I posted in advance... I was wondering if anyone lived very close to the brewery. I just traded and got 2 bottles that had been bottled 2 and a half weeks prior to me receiving them, and the person I traded with doesn't live incredibly close to the brewery, so I didn't think it would be that difficult for someone who does live close! Toxx posted:Goodluck! When I left Santa Rosa I took with me what I could from the brewpub and that unfortunately only amounted to 6 plinys at the time. I would be down for trading 6 Pliny's if that's all I could get. 8 was just a high "oh gee it would be awesome if I could actually get this many fresh". It just kinda sucks to really want several of one beer specifically in a trade and only being able to get ~2-3 when it's not really a rare beer that has limited releases (it does in some senses, but not like many 'rare' beers).

Let me wrap up the few loose trades I have pending out (this week) and then we can talk. Since you're not looking to trade for another month, that works, but the local shop near me has Pliny in stock every two weeks and has no bottle limit. For a while I was walking out of there with half a case to a case of 10 day old Pliny. For reference, I'm in Southern California. Here's a site that typically has a list of who is an account holder with them. http://russianriverbrewing.com/pages/accounts/socal.html I'm sure you can change the location. But those spots will typically always have Pliny in regular cycles in.

Currently doing my first ever beer trade with Corbet. My package of Cascade Brewing sour beers arrived at his house today, but the two bottles of Kriek I sent leaked during shipping. They were probably subjected to some sub-freezing temperatures on their week long trip east and the corks got pushed. Lessons learned:

UPS Ground does not move on Saturday, that's normal, and the reason it took so long to get there was because of severe weather delays between the two of you (there was even a train derailment in Montana; maybe your box got all shook up?), which likely would have had the same effect on a FedEx shipment. upgrading the shipping would not have helped in this case, not to mention increased the price significantly. lovely about the bottles, though, sorry to hear that.

Ship on a Monday and ship fast enough so that it arrives at its destination by Friday. That way it never sits in some random warehouse for days on end, its always moving towards its destination. Also, if its going to get really loving cold inbetween your shipping destinations you might want to ship air.

That way it never sits in some random warehouse for days on end, its always moving towards its destination. yeah, i was gonna wait for rage-saq to chime in; i know packing and shipping very well, but not much about alcohol storage and cold tolerances.* the only further advice i can provide is to make sure the bottles are moving as little as possible so the carbonation doesn't get all agitated. also, if you're gonna secure the top, which some people swear by, stretch/saran-wrap it really tightly and then go around it a few times with packing tape (not masking, duct, electrical, etc). *shipping warehouses tend to have minimal climate control at best and trailers are sometimes loaded days in advance of actual movement. you can check the detailed tracking info to see the exact route it took and get a better idea of the temperatures another shipment is likely to experience.

Tomorrow I'm doing my first trade, I'm sending out a 4 pack of Sixpoint Resin and a Flying Fish ESB Amber Ale for a Surly Furious, Surly Abrasive and a Surly Bender. I'm assuming it's going to be easy to simply just put the 4 pack in a box and stuff the box to ensure no movement, but I have one bottle now. I've heard people tape the caps to prevent leaking. Would packing tape work fine for this?

Can't wait to ship this out! really, you should bubble-wrap it. with the cans, you don't have to worry about vibration/knocking together so much, but they can still get damaged. at the very least get an inch of densely-packed paper on all sides and line the inside of the box with an extra layer (or two) of cardboard.

Anyone interested in a non rare stuff trade? I am in Kalamazoo, Michigan and thus have access to fresh Bells, Founders, Dark Horse, and Arcadia beers. I can also get a lot of Jolly Pumpkin stuff and could be persuaded to get growler fills from the Livery (https://www.liverybrew.com) or Hopcat (https://www.hopcat.com). Or from founders, for that matter, they have tons of rad pub only stuff. ANYWAY. I'm looking for some relatively common beer that I just can't get here. I'm hoping to trade a six pack or two for the same in return. Specific wants: Firestone Velvet Merlin Troegs Nugget Nectar Cigar City Tocobaga Three Floyds Gumballhead New Glarus Cabin Fever I'm open to other ideas if you have some rad local beer I ought to try, though! I just want to taste some great new stuff!
