    Rarely, if ever, have I anticipated a release of a beer. This is different. While I am sure this is not going to be some mind blowing beer that ranks up there with Heady Topper, it will have a special place in my heart as a Maiden fan.

    I was stoked to hear that you can buy it by the case online. Unfortunately, they can't sell it to the US.

    First, I am curious why we can't import beer from the UK. Obviously there's legal issues at play, I am wondering how/why these laws exist (not saying they are good or bad, just curious).

    Second, any advice on how I could get this? I am assuming I'd have to trade with someone across the pond. How much more is shipping overseas compared to domestically? Is it brutal?

    Thanks in advance!

    Link isn't working right now, but per the website (see below). Maybe you can contact them directly and see if Artisinal is still legit.


    Artisanal Imports, USAwww.artisanalimports.com (available end of summer)

    Great stuff guys!

    Between these responses and a beer mail I got on the issue from another BA, I have plenty of information to go on.

    Thanks everyone!

    If I can't find any in MD I will gladly un-retire from trading to acquire a few bottles of this for a coworker who is a huge fan of Iron Maiden.
