I still haven't shipped yet. I have a list of reasons why but mostly just laziness. I'll try to get it out this weekend. Sorry for my wookness.

Sorry I sent mine out last Friday and it got returned to my doorstep so I'm looking into other methods and will get you as soon as possibleIts cool man, your not the only one to get your package sent back. Hopefully it will workout next time. What did you use? I've got ones form UPS, Fedex, and USPS.

I'm waiting till we get a round 4 started. I don't want to send and then have nothing happen for the next round...

Plus, @mikednyc has been waiting for people to ship before starting round 4. This game dies if people enter then don't ship.
I don't get this. @theesloth won and I think he deserves the beer even if there is no round 4.Agreed... There will be a round 4 and if folks don't ship, then they'll be out and it just increases the odds of you winning. But you gotta ship to stay in the running. Just seems fair to me as well. Am I missing something?

I dont plan on letting Beer Lotto die anytime soon.
But I thought we had a plan here - wait till said beer is shipped - start round 4.
I'll organize my thoughts later today and read back in this thread to see if I am missing anything.
I know there were a few that joined in late - and had to ship to get involved in Round 4.
I aslo understand some brians maybe melted and it takes a month to re-org.
I also get it when you are down to your last 40 bucks, and you say to yourself - man should I eat tonight, or send that f***ing asshole in NJ beer.
So pack your f***ing beer up and ship it!

@Control_For_Smilers said:Agreed. I thought the agreed upon rules were you have to ship to participate. So, if you want to join in on the lotto you have to ship beer to one of the winners.@lzahorak1 said:I don't get this. @thesloth won and I think he deserves the beer even if there is no round 4.

I'm waiting till we get a round 4 started. I don't want to send and then have nothing happen for the next round...Thats not how it works.
We're supposed to be a community of trust.
A community that loves music first and beer second.
Have you forgotten love?

De-w00kification in progress.@theesloth - Ship'd. Should arrive Wednesday, FedEx.
Like that first shower after a fest.
Now its like that third shower, with the last of the particles removed from my ears, and my feet look caucasian again.
Sorry I sent mine out last Friday and it got returned to my doorstep so I'm looking into other methods and will get you as soon as possiblesame thing happened to me. I drank the beer when it was returned to my house but I'm in the process of sending out another one. sorry its taking so long.

Sorry for the delay (again) but I received a package from @johnnyd on Wedesday!

Thanks man, the Heady Topper was f***ing great for a midweek buzz!!
Tonight I'm drinking.....

It was suggested to drink out of the glass and as I'm sipping it right now its everything I would expect from a Long Trail double IPA. Strong and hoppy while going down smooth. Its almost gone now and wish there was a few more bottles in the fridge!!
Sorry that I haven"t posted more reviews and i have drank some of your beers, but without the time to post...
Thanks and more to come as time permits.
CHEERS

ps johnnyd sent me a .net meetup lanyard also... I feel guilty that i wasn't there, but the 30th would have been the day to be...
I sent out beers today. I was delayed because if holidays, then vacation and then my family came down with the flu. Also, I kept forgetting.
I'm in a good mood today, heading out to see Trey in a few hours.
Let's say we get hard on this by the weekend? Maybe move on to round 4? Maybe tighten it down a bit with rules, ideas, etc. I'll open a thread about it. I want to make this the best Phish Forum Beer Lotto in the history of Phish Forum Berr Lotto's. Whose with me!
Hey @theesloth - did you get everything you were supposed to get?
Would love to tighten this up so we can do it every quarter. Right now it has taken 5 days short of 2 months to get this done. I imagine by the time were good to go it will be a 3 month turnaround.
I'd like to tighten this up to a contest we can do every 2 months so folks can win some beer.
I have some ideas:
Make it a set cost - nail it down to $15 or $20, or 2 bombers, 4 12oz, etc.
Pay a penalty in beer if you dont ship your beer in alotted timeframe.
Once again I understand withy the NYE Run, life, the holidays, etc. Beer isnt the most important thing lately.
That being said - Beer is very important, and as a Winner of the Beer Lottery I can tell you there is no better feeling that getting a box a day for a month, and everyone is filled with beer. I want you to have that joy too!
Ship your f***ing beer!
I sent out beer this week but I only sent out two singles. I thought the minimum was one bomber? Is it really two bombers? I was so late with sending that I just sent what I had on hand and didn't run to the store.
Soooo I'm still waiting on:
@PhishDicks
@MrMinersBrother
@lzahorak1
@Rutherford_B_Raves
but we can get the next round going because I'm more than grateful for the beer i received and don't worry @whitechocolatethunder your 2 is ok with me. There wasn't a set amount to send, just whatever you could manage at the time. But we should tighten it up a bit. The faster we do this, the faster the next person can win. I already have beer ready to ship to the next winner!!
I'm ready!
I owe. Ok. Super busy the last few months, and i believe i lost the address for the round 2 winner. Joe something.. I owe you a beer package.. Please pm your address, i had it and it got misplaced I'm my move and move back to parents abode. I know it's been some time, but I want to make good. Send me address and I'll send out awesome beer. Craft beer place opened near me place so let me know what you want, or what you can't find, I'll ship it out this week.. Publicly shame met off you want, but I'm trying to make good. Better (beer) late then never...PM sent.
I'm not calling anyone out on being a f***ing asshole yet - but in a week I will.
How many haven't shipped to you guys?
i think we have some deadbeats. Did everyone send/receive? Let's vote - 1 week deadline to ship or done?You should be receiving my package tomorrow.
I think everyone has had ample time to ship. I think we did the last one in November? It's February. There should be much public shaming for their wookery. There really is no valid excuse, other than being in a coma, for entering a contest and not living up to your word. I'm sure the scofflaws would have no problem receiving the beer if they were a winner. I know it takes roughly 10 minutes to pack the beer in a box and another 20 minutes or so (including commute time) to go to a UPS store to ship it. I think 2 months is plenty of time to take care of that even with a holiday tour thrown in the middle of it.
