Secret Santa 2014!

[nodstonothing]

I used USPS a few months ago and according to JP "... looks like USPS played rugby with it. Everything was busted!" I packaged it good too. I did send some more "pint glasses" to him with UPS and had no problem. I'll have a few homebrew and dig up some Maine goodies to send out.

Let me know
1) When you've shipped.
2) When you receive.

This is how you get on the Nice List for next year.

How does the number of participants compare to years past? The list seems a bit light this year.

[spiderwrangler]

We had 47 last year, only 31 this year , but I hadn't been promoting it much other than posting on here.

[ScottyB-Brewing]

I think it's gonna be better this year with less peeps, less people to get flaked on.

[spiderwrangler]

2 years ago was somewhat smaller and we have 100% I think... last year was larger and we had 2-3 deadbeats. Lets get back to 100% completion.

Also, just a reminder to anyone sending commercial beers, use this site to make sure you aren't spending the money to buy and ship something that your recipient can get at their corner store.

*It seems that Seekabrew hasn't been updated since July... They have been my go to site for brewery distribution comparisons, but I'm a bit worried that they aren't maintaining it anymore... anyone else have a site they have used?

How about check the brewery's web site? If it doesn't say, send them an email, if they dont reply then I guess they dont want the business.

If you have a particular brewery in mind, sure, but if you're just looking for a state by state comparison of ALL breweries, that gets tough.
