You may have heard the sad news that PACK’D, the team we were following to Nationals, is unable to go now. So, Blue Skies Mag is holding the first Get Alex VB Relay (GAVBR); instead of following a team, we’ll now follow a case of beer.
Alex is an Australian jumper now working and living at Skydive Spaceland in Houston. His birthday is coming up. He is thirsty. Alas, the one place in the entire U.S. of A. where he can find his favorite Aussie beer is a wine shop called Cellar360. In California. 1,953 miles away.
We are sending out this plea to our fellow jumpers. We know there are angels out there willing, ready and able to answer the call and quench Alex’s Aussie thirst.
The first leg of the GAVBR will need to acquire the beer from Cellar360 at Ghirardelli Square in the Woolen Mill Building and get it started on its trek southeast. Maybe you are a San Franciscan (San Franciscite? San Frannie?) headed to Elsinore for the weekend. Maybe you are driving through on your way to Eloy. Wherever you are from and wherever you are going, we will look for another volunteer at your destination to take it further east – and on, until it reaches Rosharon, Texas by October 12.
Of course, if one person can bring the VB all the way from San Francisco to Nationals, that would be ideal.
Think of it as good beer karma. If you can participate in the GAVBR, please contact us at admin@blueskiesmag.com. And let the relay begin!

Forgot to mention – Alex says he’s willing to share with whoever delivers!
Also forgot to mention that Kolla and I want a taste.
Which brand beer is it?
Ooops, was looking on my iphone, didn’t see the catch the VB, Victoria Bitter, link. I feel like having a pint of something too…right now.
This is so awesome! I never thought I would be able to drink my favourite beer for my birthday at nationals. The brand is Victoria Bitter, not a real fancy name but its all about the taste. Hopefully it all works out!
I am paying for it today so all it will cost is some space in your car.
I’m starting the KRBA, Kidnap Roo’s Beer Alliance. Anyone who can get Roo’s beer from him, will get one jump ticket at Spaceland. ;P
Says the guy that doesnt drink!
I live in the San Francisco area and will try to see if I can bring some in checked luggage…just don’t want it to break
Hm, that could work. Send us an e-mail so we can coordinate between you and Alex (a.k.a. Aykay)!
If anyone can get it to Salinas tomorrow Oct 1 I can get it here!
Wow, this is a little crazy. I work in Salinas and will be in SF on Saturday. I know you’re hoping to have it in the ghetto (if you’ve ever been to salinas you know what I’m talking about) tomorrow, but I can have it there Saturday. I’m currently in Cabo San Lucas and will be flying into SFO on Saturday, then driving home to Monterey. I could very easily stop in Salinas on the way. If the checked luggage doesn’t work out for you will this be a viable option? Let me know, if not may the beer gods be with you!
Hey guys, my name is Scott and I’m the Brand Manager for VB here in Australia. I’ve shot an email to admin@blueskiesmag.com to see if we can help out somehow…
Hey All,
I’ve just sent out tweeted a shout out on our twitter (vb_beer) to see if anyone can help you as well!
Scott
Does anyone have a contact at UPS or Fedex? Apparently you can ship wine but not beer. Discrimination like this breaks my heart. Maybe they could make an exception!
VB? Aykay, what are you doing?! That’s terrible!
You could at least choose something half-decent…
Cool so we have an awesome lead. If anyone can get the 3 cases to Lodi by the 11th we can get it here. Can anyone get it from Ghirardelli Square to Lodi? Cheers.
