    Wow, a state with a more arbitrary alcohol law than Massachusetts. Impressive!

    You are correct, sir. I have your box all loaded up and ready to go, just keeping an eye on the weather before I ship. I also have a few extras lined up to go with as well, so I hope you enjoy them.

    Can't wait! It's going to be warm all week up here too, so no risk of weather related damage.

    We have some of the most arbitrary and antiquated alcohol laws here in the People's Republic of Maryland. Our currently law makers are looking to reduce the amount of beer a brewery can produce and serve at the brewery itself in order to fill the pockets of distributors. But this law only applies to small breweries and not to Guinness.

    And don't even get me started on the alcohol tax! :angry:

    I read "Temps" as "Terps" which actually sort of made sense...

    Excellent box @GoatmanBrewsMD I absolutely loved the couple of jreams I’ve tried.

    Not to be a wet blanket, but I think we were asked to respect the maximum # of ounces with this BIF.

    As tempted as I was, I actually followed the rules this time.

    Yep, no worries on sending a little over, but for this one I want to keep it at the max amount sent.

    Sorry for going over the max limit of ounces. I had a 12 can shipper and felt inadequate only sending 8 or 9 cans I it. I suppose I could have sent some diet dr. Pepper or something to fill it up. @Tom_V feel free to send any of those back :wink:. People have been generous to me in previous BIF just looking to repay that generosity. Cheers guys!

    Glad everything arrived safely. I avoided barelywines per your request but had nothing else to go on so hopefully you like haze and fruit sours. Enjoy.

    No worries. The main thing I didn't want is for someone to send 300 ounces or something like that.
