I've got Pale Ale ready and Belgian Pale Ale and IPA about to be in the next couple weeks, and a steady stream of local commercial beer, and I'd love to do more exchanges like this beyond Christmas, even at the loss of the 'secret' part.


There is a "Swaps" section of the forum. Unfortunately, most of my time and money over the next couple months is going to be spent on competition entries. I'm entering in Upper Mississippi Mashout, MidWinter, and hopefully NHC.

Oh, come on...those are two of our best locals :mrgreen:

It would be more disappointment that you'd spent money to ship something I can walk to the corner and buy. :) Excited to try your stuff, as well as the commercial IPA and Kurt's!

Hey asshats. I'm a piece of shit dbag slacker and am FINALLY shipping beers out today. Just boxed 'em up. The good news is I also grabbed 4 2oz bags of hops outta' my freezer to toss in..hopefully that helps make up for the delay..

My bullshit excuses sound ridiculous..so here goes..

I was GOING to ship your beer, but then I got a staph infection and got on hardcore antibiotics. This ended up giving me a shitty fever and I could hardly think, I also threw out my back so was on painkillers and muscle relaxers so didn't get shit done for days.. then..uhm.. my wife and kid got a cold so I had to run more errands and that slowed me down..

The other good news is, as I'm sure karma planned ahead and knew I would fuck it up, I am yet to receive any beer for the exchange either. So, cheers to the other dbag slackerfuck and to them I say thank you for helping in making me not feel so shitty.

MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS AND HOPPY NEW YEAR BITCHES! Love ya all.

I refer you back to the post where I said I don't care about intentions, let me know when you've actually sent them. :P

HOLY SHIT YOU WILL NEVER guess what happened! On my way to FedEx I started to feel funny...then realized I must have caught what JP has...didn't make it to shipping..




OK all the other excuses were things that DID actually happen...this one was bullshit. BUT I did ship the beer today.
