I've had people straight up tell me that's what they are doing in past years. :stik If everyone does that, no one gets beer...

The stuff I got from you last year was on it's third round of transversing the US.... originating with me. It was surprising to get packaging containing my own local weekly newspaper all wadded up. I think I'd sent it to P-slaps in a non-SS exchange, he'd shipped SS to you, then you shipped SS to me.

I'm rarely polite, so they must have been pretty decent. 8)

I just got my package from Vorlauf! It may have come in earlier in the week, but I haven't been in to the lab in a few days, so just got it today. A pair of his Radical Red (sweet label!), a couple cans from Red Leg and a couple bottles from Trinity. Now I just gotta kick this sinus creeping crud outta my system so I can get to drinking. :(

Received my package from ScottyB-Brewing yesterday. Can't wait to try them... ScottyB definitely earns the 2014 best shipped beer award! I bet those babies didn't shift 1 milimeter from CA to OH! Nicely Done!

Thanks breslinp for the safely shipped beers! The home brewed Celebration and Imperial Stout were some of the best beers I remember drinking. Saving the 9%+ abv Golden Strong and Old Ale for March when I visit my Dad.

Cheers and keep on brewing awesome beer.

Pretty sweet packaging huh chief? I got that Styrofoam from when I ordered some Founder's Breakfast stout over the interweb a while back, knew it would come in handy.

Too funny!!! Back in college bottling days, I used to always mark a few bottle caps with a skull and crossbones. Then whenever some douche I didn't know well came over to drink my beer, I would pass out beers to friends I liked with unmarked caps and give "that person" one with the marked cap. Worked every time ... beer would be hardly drank and the person would never come back.
