Veritek. Work travel screened this week all up, but the crowlers are in my fridge. If I don’t end up drinking them this weekend, they will be out Wednesday the latest.

How do you recommend I ship the beer?

Phone posting but rhe super short version is lots of bubble wrap. Wrap bottles individually and put each one in a ziploc or at least plastic shopping bag, sealed tight in case there's an unfortunate leak. Once you've gotten everything you're sending into your box, make sure to fill up any gaps. Nothing should wobble. Newspaper is the cheap and easy way to fill the last few spaces packing peanuts, styrofoam or more bubble wrap are also good choices. Make sure the package is sealed up tight. I've hear some recommend putting your entire haul into a garbage bag in addition to the above steps as additional security against leaks. I'll probably do that myself next time. Others probably have more/better advice because I've only shipped three times. Come to think of it all three times were to Zam. Zam!

A package!? For me!? (pic incoming) Oozlefinch brewing - Sutler's Ration weizenbock Vasen Brewing Co - Hyperborean Galaxy IPA Vasen Brewing Co - Hane farmhouse ale Basic City Beer - Grin's Casket rye barrel stout Basic City Beer - Gringo mole imperial stout Legend brewing Co - Brown Ale Hardywood - Cloud Shapes (X2) Ardent - Dark Rye stout (X2) I'm excited to see the word "rye" in there. Recently hit up Relic Brewing in CT and grabbed a 4-pack of that Ryepocalypse stout to try/ship with my box, and it made me realized I hadn't had a good rye beer in a long time. Mayflower Brewing in nearby Plymouth Mass does a Summer rye beer that's low ABV and very refreshing when it's hot out, but for some reason I can never find the drat stuff anymore. Love the Basic City bottles. Anyhow, thanks to Veritek!

I average a beer a night but occasionally think of just moving to having like one or two big fancy beers per week. There's just so much good beer out there it's almost impossible not to run across an old favorite I haven't had in a while or something new and interesting or something weird but super cheap in my local bottle shop's bargain bin. Alright so what exactly is a plum pudding beer?

Heh, I have you shipping to Zam in Cali but if you really want to spend the money to send a crowler to Massachusetts I'm fine with that. As a stay-at-home parent to exactly one preschooler, I semi-understand and have absolutely no idea how people handle more than that.

YamatoNoOrochi certainly hit the dollar amount with some barrel-aged joints from the generally-excellent Firestone Walker. excited for Parabajava as i believe it's a brewery-only release!

You're shipping to beautiful SoCal - we don't freeze. Never had an issue with somebody shipping to me even when temps were in the 10s, but shipping INTO freezing temperatures is a bit more complicated.

I bought the Crowlers yesterday and will ship today. At my nerd beer bar I was polling people as to what local beers were best and they kept saying stuff like, "oooh speedway stout is great." I mean, it is great, but you can get that in SoCal, so eventually I just gave up and sample a bunch of beers myself.

From the thread activity we know that at least the following people have sent their boxes. 1: Paul Proteus 2: Veritek 3: Quiet Feet 4: Funkybottoms 5: YamataNoorochi 6: Spacejung 7: Alfalfa Still waiting to hear if the following have arrived 8: Drunk Nerds - to Zam (by his last post it looks like his is on it's way?) 9: Deedee Megadoodoo - to Zam 10: Nickrowfillea - to Veritek83 11: Zam - to Deedee Megadoodoo 12: Sataere - Zam Sent out an email. Giving it one more week before we turn in toxxes. It's been almost two months since the league's season ended. I'm assuming a lot of this is just people forgetting to post in the thread but I don't want a repeat of last year where we had two members flake out.

The box finally made it back to me late last week after sitting in a warehouse for 2 weeks. I don’t trust some of the beer that I originally shipped so I bought some new stuff yesterday. I will be dropping it off again tomorrow.
