I am guessing mine had enough wrapping to contain the liquid. Geauld said it looked like they threw it. I should have put FRAGILE!!!

It's not illegal to ship yeast samples, however.

Hell, I just ordered 6 four packs of Abrasive maybe an hour ago. There seemed to be no problem...

Solid order. I've had them and they are all great. The Coffee Bender is a sleeper.

You're right coffee bender is great too, only one I haven't tried yet is the cynic and I'm looking forward to it.

Funny! It was meant to be. After we lost those good bottles I have gone over the top in packing for BXNs.

Im going to get one of those boxes I think . That would be likely recycled around the BXN for a good bit.

Yes they do, I've drank more of them than anything in the last month or so. I was hoping to get it in before the weekend but haven't received the shipping email yet. Last time it was here in 4 days im still holding on to a little hope it'll be here.

B says that your box will be shipped tomorrow. I think it will be a Top 10 BXN box-just saying. I had to retire a box recently that went from OH to LA to TX and back to LA. It was a good box.

I think your box was packed well enough; apparently the FedEX guy danced on it before delivery. Dick... There were packing peanuts that were like soggy cereal from absorbing the beer. I was tempted to try one.

It's not illegal to ship beer, you're just technically supposed to pay for the age verification service. Shiiiiiiiiiiit...

They usually ship within 48 hours unless the weather does not allow it. They won't ship if it is way below freezing. I ordered Friday and just got the shipping email today.

Not sent yet. But it will come before I devour Geauxld's box.

TBD: Sharing a Damnation with the wife. SUCH a great beer!

Golden Ale

Inspired pretty much by Duvel and other strong golden ales of Belgium. It is medium-bodied, has a fruity/banana bouquet, and a dry, spicy finish.


love......

Vacuum sealers are the way to go to prevent leakage. I had a top get loose on a Devine reserve once so the USPS brought it to my house instead of delivering it. I had a bottle break one other time.
Since then, I seal each bottle, wrap in bubble wrap, then fill the box and use peanuts to fill the box.
Finding good, solid boxes that are big enough is my only issue. Had to use two boxes on Dean's last shipment.

I will usually wrap my beers in gallon bigs jic one breaks. My office has a packing station so I usually have enough bubble wrap that it doesnt matter.
