Yeah
So you guys are saying that just wrapping the bottles in bubble wrap works? bubble wrap is sufficent enough to prevent the bottles from being broken in transit? This may be a dumb comment, but i thought that there would be more abuse in transit which would require more then just bubble wrap.

I have had success with just bubble wrap yes. I have also shipped with just newspaper as well. The key, as Chris noted, is shaking the box and not hearing anything sliding around inside.
Personally I've had more issue with shipping homebrew and not getting the cap tight on the bottle (especially if the batch was a bit over carbonated). Not much you can do to prevent this other than checking over the caps before shipping.

Let's bump the beer thread
We did our case swap again at work. I was really impressed with the following:
North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout
Terrapin Hopsecutioner India Pale Ale
The imperial stout was very thick and had all kinds of great flavors going on.
The Hopsecutioner IPA was just a good straight up IPA with a lot of grapefruit and floral hop flavors.

I was just reading some reviews about Old Rasputin. I'll have to give it a try.Originally Posted by badwhale
This weekend I've been drinking Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. At 7.2% ABV and $7.50 for a sixer it's a great value. It's not nearly as bitter as I expected it to be.

I'm a hop head and also enjoy Sierra Nevada's Torpedo.
Tonight I had some Bridgeport Hop Czar...It was excellent.

Hop Czar is my absolute favorite IPA. One hell of a kick but the hop bite is smooth. I can only find it at Costco and not all the time. I buy a couple or three cases when I see it

Old Rasp is one of a select few that I keep a case on deck at all times. The annual "Anniversary" iteration is really the stuff.

Today, drank some Magic Hat #9, Stella, and Stone 14th Anniversary Emperial IPA. Of course the Stone stood out. It was a really good beer. The nose had a strong blu cheese aroma. There was a great hop presence and some sweetness on the finish. It was full-bodied but still very drinkable.

A few of my beer club members and I went on a Northern Az Brewery tour this past weekend. Lots O' fun and Lots O' beer!
Our first stop was the newest brewery in the state, the Lumberyard:
Next was the smallest brewery of the tour, the Flagstaff Brewery:
Third was a favorite of many, the Beaver Street Brewery which also owns the Lumberyard:
Last stop for the day was the Grand Canyon Brewery. New up and coming brewery in a quaint Rt. 66 town:
The next day we headed south to Sedona and visited Oak Creek Brewery at Tlaquepaque:
Then headed over to the original Oak Creek Brewery:
We finished the tour with a stop at a local vineyard outside of Cottonwood. Before the tasting began they asked me if I knew much about wine, I said "It comes in a box right?" I then got schooled at Page Springs Cellers:
This was a great trip and a great way to get out of the heat.
