    Hi all,
    So I was talking to a friend's cousin yesterday and I was telling him I recently traveled to 3 Floyds and I acquired a case of Zombie Dust. He told me when I'm finished to make sure to save the bottles and caps because I can mail the empties back to them and they'll refill them. Is this true?!?!?! If anyone can let me know I would greatly appreciate. Have a great one and take care all!

    Are there details on it? Do you have to contact them before hand to pay?

    I was being facetious.

    Now lets delete these posts explaining that and then tell him how to mail the empties back.

    Ignignokt: On the moon, the weekend has advanced beyond your wildest dreams. Weekends now take up the entire week, and jobs have been phased out accordingly.
    Err: We get checks from the government. And we use them to buy beer.

    Had to :slight_smile:

    Forget mailing them back, I place my FFF empties in a metal box outside my door & the friendly gentleman swaps them out each week.

    I've seen this done before.

    In fact, each time you send the bottles back they fill it with a better version of Zombie Dust. Pretty sure it works like this (according to my friend who swears Nick Floyd told him that they have actual zombies on site who help them brew at night to keep up with demand):

    1st Re-fill regular Zombie Dust
    2nd Re-fill Super Zombie Dust (it is really Permanent Funeral but "Super" sounds cooler)
    3rd Re-fill Super-Duper Zombie Dust
    4th Re-fill barrel aged Zombie Dust
    5th Re-fill Double barrel Zombie Dust
    6th Re-fill bottle filled with dry Citra hops to chew on

    Three Floyds has always done this with all their beers. Since getting a BVDL in 2012, I've been sending the bottle back for refills pretty regularly. I don't want to be greedy and take too much advantage, so I limit myself to once every two or three weeks, but it's a nice arrangement.

    I would just go straight to Three Floyds with the empty bottles. With their legendary friendly customer service, I'm sure they will be very helpful to you, and not laugh at you mercilessly.

    To his credit it seems like he didn't really believe it to begin with.
