Vinny at Quality Liquors is very helpful. Nice selection though Pliny is not always in stock (just like anywhere else).

 

Shipping to PA is illegal. That being said, there are more than a few companies that will ship here anyway. I admit I have used them a few times to get my Surly Furious fix and have never had a problem. Like trading, its something I only do every now and then. Bine and Vine Bottle Shop (formerly South Bay Drugs) is great, but does not ship to PA.

 

If I can find a place that carries Italian craft (no macros' please!) then my world domination is complete!

 

Good to know

 

I had two bottles of Pliny shipped to me last week.

 

Yeah, it comes and goes but if one is patient, they can get some buying online.

 

Shipping is indeed a killer from this supplier ($52 a case of 22's) But have a case coming out of Oregon for $21 a case, much more acceptable.

 

The Port Mongo in the photo wasa member of the $52 case, one damn fine 2XIPA.

 

IMO as of recently, trading is becoming more of a hassle than its worth, especially if you would like a couple bottles of something. Living in California, it feels like no matter what off the shelf beers I ask for, the ransom is ridiculous.

 

Nice site but their shipping is definitely built in to their prices. They are $7.60 a bottle on their Yellow Wolf IPA and I have some on the way from Oregon at $4.95. Just a marketing thing with the site, it is a great looking site with a great selection and set up!

 

They have a lot of awesome stuff on here! How is the shipping? The prices are already more than fair.

 

After reading this thread I made a purchase with http://vendomestore.com/ (last Saturday). Got 4 bottles of Ballast point Victory at sea 7.99ea and 4 bottles of Sucaba 17.99ea. Shipping was $40 , California to Iowa. would have cost me about 20-25 in shipping had it been a trade. Overall very happy with the experience, the prices seem very reasonable and the bottles arrived within a week. I'll buy from these guys again, great selection BTW. They currently have fresh pliny and plenty other RR stuff if that is your thing. Glad this thread came up.

 

You can ship beer to MD? Hmm thats news to me.

 

There are a few stores that do.

 

Shipping was $40 for 5 bottles though? WOW

 

Actually 8 bottles, 4 and 4 he said. At $5 a bottle, not the best rate, but a little more reasonable.

 

Ah I didn't catch that. Still not the best but do able. Although it wouldn't be for me it is probably easier than trading for those 8 bottles.

 

In addition, receiving the shipment in PA is also illegal.
