btw anyone interested in doing a beer trade?

 

Oklahoma has some OK beers if you're interested.

 

for sure!

 

I'm interested. I live in Belgium though, so I'm not sure if it's possible to work something out? I have a lot of Cantillon bottles if you're interested. I'm a big fan of West Coast IPA's, they are rather hard to find here, especially if I want them fresh.

 

yeahhhh international shipping unfortunately will probably be a no go for me

 

I’m down to do it but someone needs to show me how to properly package and store it for delivery. I say this as someone who works for beer distribution so it’s pretty sad.

 

Buy a wine shipper.

If you kind of hollow out the top you can fit two 16oz cans. I wrap each can in a little bubble wrap or just newspaper so its not moving around or banging against each other. So a 12 wine shopper can ship up to 24 16oz cans.

 

Appreciate it! I’m excited to pick out some local craft now

 

Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen, and Tilquin are some of my favorite breweries, and I have access to lots of WC IPAs out here in California, but unsure of the ins and outs of international shipping

 

I’ve had success with getting the biggest box I can that still qualifies for UPS flat rate shipping, wrapping each can/bottle in bubble wrap and holding it together with a couple rubber bands, fitting them in as snugly as possible, and filling the gaps with more bubble wrap or packing paper.

 

I'll do that and put them in ziplocks in case they leak or explode in transit

 

Love jai alai

 

Currently drinking: Crooked Thumb Brewery Shade Tree IPA out of Safety Harbor FL

 

Guys, I caved and opened up a pumpkin beer.

 

i'm trying to wait until Sept 1

 

I saw some Yuengling Oktoberfest beer the other day and picked some up. Was decent, but drinking it while it was 100+ outside felt wrong.

 

Calling all New Englanders… Looking for recs in Boston and Portland!

In Boston I’ve already been to Harpoon, Trillium, and Night Shift. We are staying near Boston Commons this time around and will take the T or walk around.

Never been to Portland, but we are staying near Old Port and will have a car and can hit up Allagash.

 

very cliche answer but if you are driving in from out west you should absolutely take a detour on your way out for some take home treehouse.

 

I'm not from New England, but I'd add Bissell Brothers and Oxbow to your Portland list.

 

and yea its tough to be a pumkin lover and summer hater these days

 

Sadly not driving (flying in and out of Boston from Chicago). For some reason I though they were out in Vermont or something ha.

 

ah thats a shame. they do have a couple other locations in east mass i think. ive only been to the main one though so cant really vouch for them beyond how good the beer is.
