Rip Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 There's an Acme close to my girlfriends house about an hour from me that has a lot of Pumpking, Warlock, and Game Of Thrones: Take The Black Stout. Oh! Speaking of, new Game Of Thrones: Fire And Blood Red Ale coming Spring 2014!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Yes that would be an appropriate assumption about the states. I'm a big fan of beers from the UK as well. My favorite is Youngs Luxury Double Chocolate Stout. I got hooked on quite a few UK beers when I was stationed in Europe years ago. Youngs is a very old brewery and that's a nice beer but heavy, we are now getting a lot of unusual flavoured ales because there are now a lot more female brewers here who are happy to try different things. I live in hop picking country so am pretty spoilt when it comes to choice, I'm also not far from Europe so it's easy to get the nice trappist beers from France or Belgium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdtg Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Anyone in or around VT that can get some Heady Topper? I'll send money for a case + shipping. I need to try this as IIPA's are my favorite style and I just love beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seangj Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I couldn't get tickets this year I couldn't either. A lot of breweries around here are doing limited specials each day during GABF which I have been hitting up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my friends and i hit up a ton of breweries in Boulder last weekend, so I've been able to deal. And I got to go last year so I'm not too upset about it.

videogamesandvinyl Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ran out of pumkimg so I shot up to the Big Bird (giant eagle) & grabbed some magic hat seance. Good, dark beer with a bit of a nutty flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to try this as IIPA's are my favorite style and I just love beer Every person I know who's tried to ship beer has had mixed results, most of the time it didn't arrive. Since it isn't legal to ship alcohol across state lines through them, USPS usually confiscates it. I'm not sure how FedEx/UPS handle it, so you might have better luck with them, but I don't know for sure. I know it's expensive due to weight. I think you're best option is to use an online beer store of some kind : http://onlinebeerstores.homestead.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seangj Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I ship beer all the time. Never had it confiscated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I ship beer all the time. Never had it confiscated. Interesting. I haven't tried it myself, but all the people I know who've tried have given up. I know that USPS wants the law to change, they think it'll increase their revenue stream. http://money.cnn.com/2013/08/02/news/economy/postal-service-beer/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've shipped beer without a problem a number of times. I've always used FedEx, never the USPS. JDTG I live in VT and can easily get Heady Topper. PM me. On the off chance you live in San Francisco I'm here until Mon. and have a couple with me.

laralaurent Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I couldn't get tickets this year I couldn't either I had some in my cart but I foolishly had friends convince me otherwise. Won't be missing out next year though. Now, I'm not the biggest follower of trying microbrews, but I try to keep up. Wynkoop's Drunken Pumpkin might be my new favorite pumpkin beer. So flavorful but not overpowering. Not sure if anyone's talked about it yet, I suppose I could rummage through these pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomany45s Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 This afternoon I'm off work early, so I'll be having some Bengali Tiger from SixPoint and Stash IPA from Independence Brewing. Gotta love a good day drinking session while listening to records! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'm not saying USPS is bad or never works, I've just no personal experience. Someone around here must have some tips or dos and don'ts. Where is inputtostring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranaspank Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 So many new Untappd badges... I'd be so down for some beer swapping. RVA is blowing up with local craft breweries in the past year. The standout is Hardywood, which has currently has a 100 (Gingerbread stout) and 99 (Hoplar) from Beer Advocate in it's first year of business. The pumpkin they have now is great.
