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.

Its 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 don't get this. @thesloth won and I think he deserves the beer even if there is no round 4.
Plus, @mikednyc has been waiting for people to ship before starting round 4. This game dies if people enter then don't ship.

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?

YorkvilleBeerLover As Jah as my witness there will be a round 4, and ideally there will be a beer lotto every 2 months.
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!

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.

Well said. I'm glad you guys worked that out.

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

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.

YorkvilleBeerLover OK we are getting close - but I don't think we have all of our beers shiped.
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!

YorkvilleBeerLover Permalink
YorkvilleBeerLover OK Folks - who shipped beer, who didnt ship beer, who owes beer.

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.

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 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.
