Hey those of you in CA or anywhere on the west coast. I want to buy some beers that are only available out there. I will pay for them, shipping and your time. That or I will pay for them and shipping and send you some awesome east coast beers.
Looking for Pliney the elder / Younger, Alaskan Amber and several others that I would be happy to discuss with someone that is cool with going to the beer store and shipping me booze.
Have you checked Wegmans for some of the brands you want? I wouldn’t have a problem looking or talking to some of the beer reps for you. My store has a very large selection so let me know.
I have. The problem is that a lot of the breweries do not distribute out of their local area. The Alchemist sticks to VT, Cigar City in FL, Russian River is in CA and surrounding states but not outside of that area etc… I can order most anything that can be had locally direct from the distributors but when they can’t get it I have to resort to spending a premium to have it shipped in as yeast samples.
The best thing to do when shipping beer is to make sure you have a fedex or UPS account online, it cuts way down on the prices, and makes everything a lot easier.
I’ve had a similar problem with some CO breweries that I like. I found a specialty beer site that ships stuff like that, it was a bit pricey, but reliable. I’ll attempt to find it and forward it to you.
Yea I know a few online places out west that will ship, but its hit or miss trying to find the good stuff. Its usually eaiser to have somone you know find it and ship it. I got quoted 27$ for shipping 3 bottles yesterday.
I just had a kid at my work Being dead serious that he heard that Wegmanns or Consumers will take a milk jug worth of tabs for a Keg. I totally went along with him since he’s been saving for a few months now.
