I'm bringing 15 cans of Keith's India Pale Ale ( flying so supplies are limited). I don't know if this is very common in the U.S, but in my opinion there is no better Canadian beer.

Edit: willing to trade a few for some of your best brews.

Yeah I snagged a 6 of the Bitter American to add to my pile. Low ABV, but very refreshing. Think it will be great during the day. We don't have New Belgium up here in Ohio. Curious to try the Shift, the Fat Tire disappointed.

I've got my Yuengling case. Now to make sure to make time to hit up the ABC and Total Wine fer my craft beer!

[shermione]

My parents gave me two cases of Yuengling so I'm all set! I'll probably only bring one because we don't plan on drinking too much and I'm a lightweight as it is.

Might as well bring both. Can trade a couple brews with your neighbors for a cheeseburger or something, or just give one to a cool person you meet. No such thing as having too much beer you know?

[Dan'ROO]

You can always bring some home too. I usually do. And it never hurts to give a few beers away to groovy neighbors! Especially Yuengling!

[orlando]

I will gladly pay $50 to anyone who can bring me a 12-pack of Long Trail Ale (the original) in cans (or bottles, assuming you can sneak it in.) It's now available in cans. Anyone in CT/MA/NH/NY/NJ should be able to find some at any store that carries Long Trail.

I can't get it in Florida and this is my all-time favorite micro-brew!!

PM me if you can help me out here.....!!

Was so happy to find out that my local grocery had Stella in a can

How did you wind up with Cisco and New Belgium?

[Lowerdeck]

So I found Saranac Pale Ale in cans at a supermarket up here near Mountain Jam. If its anything like their Vibes beer, awesome.

Also got Yuengling Black n Tan in cans. Yuengling isn't sold in New England, so I pick it up while in NY.

Now to just find Bonnie to send this stuff south for me. I prob can't sneak beer in my suitcase due to my Occupy adventures.

I'm going to switch topics for one second and ask a question about liquor.

Does anyone know if Everclear 190 is legally sold in Tennessee and if so, is it easy to find in a store selling liquor?

[tnbound]

Yes it is and as long as you are not trying to buy liquor on Sundays then it is fairly easy. I mean they sell it in liquor/ABC stores and those are pretty plentiful.

[Lowerdeck]

So you can buy beer below 6% on Sunday, but not liquor or any beer above 6%?

Man, blue laws are quackin weird

[bunny]

Have 4 of these chilling. I'ma drink one and if it's good I'll score more.



Velvet Rooster
Belgian-Style Tripel
(ABV 8.5%)

This beer is a Belgian Tripel that lives up to its name. Smooth and carefully crafted like a fine velvet painting, but with an 8.5% ABV this bird has some spurs! The beer pours a golden straw color with brilliant clarity. Topped with a lofty pure white head the beer has a wonderful floral nose, with subtle fruit notes.

The taste is clean and crisp, with subtle fruit notes and a touch of candy like sweetness. The beer has a Champagne-like effervescent that provides a crisp offset to its sweet finish. While a pint glass is always nice, Velvet Rooster would also be at home in a tulip glass or Champagne flute.

Don't knock it. I use to think the same thing but that is the perfect hot weather, pound them down beer. That is my tailgating and lake beer. It's cheap, it goes down smooth, and I can drink them all day long and into the night and wake up the next morning without knowing a drank a drop. I am probably going to bring a 30 pack myself along with a 12 pack of some kind of wheat.

[ccrider]

I've got a bunch of Canned Colorado brews to bring with (Old Chub, Colorado Kolsch, etc). I'm really excited about the pocket shots we discovered recently though. They are easily... how can I say this? Transportable?

Went fairly simple this year:

30 pack Miller High Life
24 pack Yuengling
6 pack Flying Dog Underdog (I believe)
6 pack Lancaster Kolsch

2 gallons Apple Pie

1 3L bag o wine

and a bit of zing zang and vodka

I don't think you're going to be drunk enough.

I'm picturing High Life as the equivalent of rubbing alcohol and liquid aluminum.

My warm day beer is something like Narragansett. Or micro pilsners. Or kolsches.

Nah, I'm a huge beer snob and High Life is perfect for Roo.

Possibly dumb question: does the beer need to be kept in the case it came in or can I have the cans loose in my cooler?

This and other last-minute brain fodder brought to you by 28 hours until go time!!

Depends on if it's in the trunk/truck bed or in the back seat. There MIGHT be issues if it's open case in the passenger compartment.
