Another successful trade from my MN connection. Minneapolis breweries galore, each one representing a different style. The delicious bourbon barrel aged cider from Keepsake has so far been my favorite. Looking forward to the rest! Let’s try and not plan these things around holidays anymore, huh? ;-)

Phase 2 went without a hitch. Mr. Stine made sure I got my hands on the 2014 (High West Rye) Darkness Bottle along with a bunch of solid local brews, and a homemade hop tincture he put together. Packaged beautifully. Cheers, bud! You rock.

Eben, in an attempt to undermine my cellar drinkdown and moving process, sent me eight million-ish bottles of beer. 6x NG Edel Pils, 3x Dancing Man, 7x (!) Berliner Weisse, HOTD FFtW 64, plus an unexpected Fitger’s Blue Label GR (Bourbon) and Capital Baltic Porter. Two boxes, expertly packed. I now have too much beer, can no longer feasibly leave DC anytime soon, and Eben has ruined my life.

Sent me a New Glarus Belgian Red and Rasberry Tart as well as 4 extras including Dark Horse One, Struise Pannepot, Viking Big Swede, and a New Glarus Unplugged that arrived broken. Being very honest, I dont know how it broke as everything (including the remains of the broken glass) was wrapped very good in bubble wrap. My guess is poor handling during shipping. I have nothing but good things
