Beer Mail

We came back from our camping trip just in time. While Sarah was unloading the sleeping bags, the UPS truck pulled up. Inside was a box from Barrel Backers, the kickstarter of beer. I heard about the service last month and was immediately attracted to it. The premise is simple: you vote for beer you want to try; when enough like minded drinkers agree, you can pledge to buy a twelve pack; when all the twelve packs are claimed, they are shipped straight to doorsteps across the country.

My box was filled with twelve cans from Savannah, Georgia’s Service Brewing Company – six Ground Pounder Pale Ale and six Compass Rose IPA. Because the beer is only packed and shipped after it’s claimed, you get some pretty fresh bottles. Our cans were filled at the end of April and the beginning of June, not brewery fresh, but better than most grocery store shelves. An IPA only a month old is a rare sight at the Safeway.

The cans were a little dented and bruised on arrival, but the beer inside was still good. Ground Pounder is a solid pale ale with a nice honeyed malt flavor and sharp metallic bitterness. No, not from the can. The hops aren’t exactly citrus or pine, just bitter and well balanced. Compass Rose has a nice earthiness with hints of pink grapefruit. The bitterness is as strong as you’d expect in an IPA, but with a decent malty tang to lessen the blow.

All in all, two decent beers. I don’t think either justified cross-continental travel, but a good experiment in internet beer shopping. If you want some beer mail, you can get 20% off at Barrel Backers with the promo code Whatchudrinkin.
