ordered from halftime, and it couldnt have been packaged any worse, one bottle of nightstalker, and a handful of great lakes xmas beers broke. thankfully none of the bcbs bottles broke, ive never tried it and looking forward to it
I've never had a problem with halftime. I have also never seen any of the beers on the left on halftime either. Nor have I seen dusty Troegs in a Narwhal holder.
thats how halftime boxed them up. no problem, if theres a top half to the packaging to keep the bottles in place. but what youre looking at is how they shipped them. they didnt even bubble wrap the 2 night stalkers individually, they wrapped both in the same wrap, and theres whats left of one of them
havent contacted them yet. the deschutes brews i stumbled upon last week while getting some wine for holiday dinner. a hole in the wall store had at least a case of each just sitting there, so i grabbed a handful.
This is what a quick stop at a NH border beer store got me. They had a bunch of Bolt Cutter for $17 per, and also a pile of Goose Island Madame Rose (which about 1/2 hour from the store on the way home I wished I would have purchased some...).
A couple trades before the holidays: Thanks Blargimus! Thanks t_Stuckey And a haul of local stuff I gathered over a couple days:
I gotta ask, because some of these hauls are just nuts. But how much do you guys fucking spend on beer lol? I thought I spent a lot. I drop maybe 50 a week. and yes, this is jealousy speaking.
I spend between $50 and $400 a week, depending on what is out there. When I spend large amounts it usually isn't for quantity - it's on expensive $30 beers from AleSmith and The Bruery.
I have said the same thing many times myself. I suspect some of these hauls are being split at least 2 ways imo or are partly personal consumption & partly for trading purposes.
Huge thanks to tofuspeedstar for killing me in this trade. And these are the extras. Not pictured is a New Glarus Thumbprint Saison which I forgot to put in the picture. Needless to say, will trade with again
My last haul which was on page 201 or 202 cost me around 200 euros. That supply will last me until May to go along with what else I have. I am drinking more Belgians while I live in Europe. The case of Rochefort 8 cost only 30.96 euro or 1.29 euro per bottle. I will never find it that cheap again. The Loons cost between 6 and 9 euro per bottle. Got to take advantage of it while I can. I will need another rack of Weihenstephan in the next 2 weeks so that will be another $20. I check the class 6 on base every week for something new from the states. It maybe gets something once a month I want to buy a 6 or 12 of.

Not a haul but its Six new beers that I have not tried before , in the wastelands that Im in this is good
This was my last haul, it was upwards of $80 and I was a bit taken back. One of the bottles of Divine Retribution is headed to Chicago this weekend for a friend of mine.
On the 2 posts/"hauls" I did today, I spent probably £160, however now I have enough beer for a few months so I don't need to get anymore until maybe March. (I also have some Cantillon in the post though, couldn't resist a Mamouche )
Just got a trade box in from my man vande, and boom, killed it. The Moloko and NG Wisc Belgian Red were the 2 that I really wanted, but after seeing what he sent, I'm stoked about it all. Really looking forward to the 4 pack of Neapolitan Milk Stout that he sent, especially after I was just asking about it in one of the threads the other day! Awesome shipment, v!
Ultra crappy photo, but my haul from Michigan back to SF. My two luggages were a combined 85 lbs. Thanks, Michigan beer friends!
O yes. I had to buy the FBS so I wouldn't tap into one of those tonight.. btw got these at Julios. Never thought these would come to Mass. My only regret is not having enough cash for them all and multiples.. haha
