This was in August, but when I got my first case, I asked about not buying the box and was told that it was required. May have changed since then I guess.
Are you sure about this? I have bought several cases of this beer and am definitely under the impression that the wooden case is required.
You know, its been awhile. I think I misinterpreted it in the last 8months. Its much more likely that it is required but you can reuse the same one - bring it back empty and refill it for the cost of beer only. Im very sure something of this nature is how it works. I guess a call to the brewery would settle it easily enough.
Yes, you buy it once and then bring it back empty pay $40 and they refill it. Love this beer, one of my favorites!
Golden Brett, Coolship Red, Interlude and all their year rounders. Chances of Coolship and GB lasting til next week might be slim though.
