    My Wife and I will be flying into Boston in a few weeks and heading to Hill Farmstead for the day, prior to driving to Quebec. I plan on stopping at the brewery and staying in the Waterbury area overnight before going up north.
    • Is there anywhere I can stop along this route to purchase some 12-bottle shippers to send home?
      • I would be happy to take some off of someone's hands, as well or set-up a trade.
    • Additionally, where would be the best place to bring the bottles once they are packaged up? Is there a particular FedEx/UPS I should avoid?
    Thanks in advance for the help. Really just trying to figure out the best and most efficient way to ship some cases back without lugging them around the rest of the trip.

    Cheers!

    Check with Pack and Send Plus in waterbury they should have shippers. Also, they give you a box similar to wine case box with dividers in it at the brewery. You can wrap the bottles, then put that box in another box if you can not find a shipper
    Enjoy

    When will you be going? I have a ton of shippers I don't need. I live close to the route for Boston to HF.

    I’d be at work on Thursday. What is your planned route from Boston to HF?

    Thanks so much! What is the best place to ship around there? Would also be ok with shipping out of Newport since we may hit Eden that day.
