I had the White Ale and Hefeweisen for the first time over the weekend. (it takes things a while to make it to Rubble City...)

Is there a way to buy six packs of this beer?

Has anybody tried the Red Rice version?

Mmmm.... Don't think we can get these up here in Canada..

They seem to have some interesting beers, that Celebration Ale 2005 looks like something I would like.

I REALLY like the White and the Weizen. The Red Rice Ale is good but pretty unique. A flavor I guess best described as very....Japanese. Worth a try. Their Celebration Ale is really good, too. As for size, I'm pretty sure it's just that one size bottle (at least here in the US), so no 6-packs.

Where can I find a one size bottle?

Oh, the place where I tried it was a fancy Wine bar and they had 12 ounce bottles...

i looked around on their distributor website and noticed a place down the street from us carries it.
i'll look for six packs over the weekend when i'm over that way.

+7 for atease.

ahhh... anyone up for an international beer trade?
Ugghhhh... I don't think customs likes it when you send booze in the mail.

haha....i don't think they do either.

i'll fill up a figure, freeze it, pack it in dry ice and i'll ship it along

OK, sounds good. I'll send you $500, $600. That should cover the costs of it all right.

It sometimes takes a week or 2 for mail to get here, you think the dry ice will last that long? Maybe we need some sort of cooler system...

All you have to do is

1. put bottle/s in a box
2. wrap up bottle/s with lots and lots of bubble wrap
3. fill box with packing peanuts
4. send box priority mail with delivery confirmation

Do not tell Post Office what is in box.

if it's crossing the border and they check, do you think either party would get in sh*t?
If not, there is a really great micro brewery here in Winnipeg. Wanna do a bear swap.

yeah sending to Canada might be difficult, but sending within the US should be fine. you do need to tell them what's in the box or you can get in trouble if they catch you.

lots of beer companies have mail order

because i'm a nerd

from usps.com

Mailers must mark the outer container of a mailpiece containing liquid to indicate the nature of the contents. Mailers must package and mail liquids under the following conditions:

a. Use screw-on caps, soldering, clips, or similar means to close mailpieces containing liquids. Do not use only friction-top closures (push-down types).

b. Liquids in steel pails and drums with positive closures, such as locking rings or recessed spouts under screw-cap closures, may be mailed without additional packaging.

c. Package glass and other breakable containers of liquid with a capacity of more than 4 fluid ounces according to the following requirements:

1. Cushion the primary container with material sufficient to absorb all leakage in case of breakage.

2. Place the primary container inside another sealed, leakproof container (secondary container), such as a can or plastic bag.

3. Use an outer mailing container that is strong enough to protect the contents.

d. As an alternative to 2.3c above, mailers may use containers certified by the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) that passed ISTA's Test Procedure 3A. Mailers must provide their ISTA 3A Package-Product Certification Notice at the time of mailing as verification that the mailpieces they are submitting passed the required performance test.

good to know. I'm going to go down to UPS and look into this a bit more.

this is that Winnipeg company that is good.

they are called 1/2 pints, but there beers come in about 1.5 pint bottles.
Mmmmmm..... I think I'm going to have to change my plans tonight... beeeerrrr....

Sorry....I just meant the size you found, is the only size available (11.2oz), and they only sell in single bottles, not 6-packs. You can buy individually, or by the case, if you go through a liquor store like:

That gives me an idea...

Thanks Hillsy, you get + if the idea works.

Wow that's really cool you can order them that way.

The place near me allows you to make a six pack of stuff from all of the random beer they sell, so it's somewhat similar.

Y'know...that's a really good idea. There's always new beers coming out, and it'd be a good way to sample a few without having to commit to a full six-pack. The only drawback (for the owner) seems to be that you're stuck with random bottles all the time.

I guess it's different every ware. Here we have 2 places to buy beer. The Vender, or the Liquor Commission. At the LC they have racks and racks of import beer that you just grab a little six pack holder and make up what you want. I usually try to get at leased 2 that I've never tried..
It's fun. The 2 worst I've ever had are a Ethiopian beer, and that German Smoke beer that tastes like bacon.

ughhh

ewwww
