    Can beer be sent through usps? I think it would be cool if we created six packs of local brews and exchanged.

    I've shipped to at least half a dozen board members. Just don't tell them whats in it.
    yes, he has! :triumph:

    living in this fucking church controlled state, I can't get ANY beer or liquor sent to me legally :angry:

    Finally got some pseudo sue here in Illinois. Good stufff and for 9.99 for a four pack of pint cans it's well worth it.

    I know! That stuff is so good....I'm on my 3rd 4 pack already! So happy that's available around here now. Awesome beer.

    After going to three stores I finally found a brewery from Oregon: 10 barrel brewing company out of bend, Oregon. I ll let you guys know how it is.

    They recently opened a brewpub in Denver.
    Won't be going. As was mentioned above that they are owned by AB Inbev.
    as in anaheiser busch?! (spelling is probably bad)
    so this was a popular beer before the take over?
    Yes and yes
    AB Inbev is a Belgian company.
    In the last 6 years they have bought up at least 8 well known craft breweries. Including Goose Island, Elysian, and Devils Backbone.
    They are no longer considered "craft breweries" by the Brewers Association.

    Goose Island March 2011
    Blue Point Brewing Feb. 2014
    10 Barrel Brewing Nov. 2014
    Elysian Brewing Jan. 2015
    Golden Road Brewing Sept. 2015
    Breckenridge Brewing Dec. 2015
    Four Peaks Brewing Dec. 2015
    Devil’s Backbone Brewing April 2016
    goose island too (which I love)? wtf. And here I was all excited that I found an Oregon IPA all the way in New Jersey. Damn.
    Yeah, I still can't believe Goose Island sold out....you can definitely tell the difference in some of the beers now that they are being brewed at the big AB plants instead of the original brewery. Green Line Pale Ale especially.....that stuff is almost undrinkable at this point. The only nice thing is that they still do small batch beers at the original brewery here in Chicago.
    Inbev does this to acquire DISTRIBUTION! I forgot that Blue Point got gobbled up by them too.

    Also the sour sisters from GI are all still delicious. Give them a try and age them if you can. The Bourbon Barrel beers are still great too.

    Yeah, I definitely stretched out these hopslams over the past few weeks.

    Not sure if I've had that Stone tangerine IPA...I'll have to check that out if I see it. I've had a few different tangerine IPAs lately and really enjoyed them.

    Is there good craft beer from Texas? I've had a few now, and they're kind of dank. Is it the schwaggy water?
