    Anybody had success shipping this? I'm worried it'd be a bomb, like a bottle of soda.

    The only one I'd think would be too much of a problem would be the All-Stars Bakery bottle, as I've had a couple literally explode in my closet for seemingly no reason. Any of the other commercially available ones, including growlers, have not bee an issue for me (yet).

    Well, they ship it in from Russia to the US, so I think it is made to withstand travel pretty well.

    Yeah, well, that's my problem. It's exactly the All Stars bottle. I'm on the fence about it. Maybe i'll wrap it in a garbage bag :wink:

    So long as it's a relatively short journey in shipping, it should be generally fine. I think it took a bit over a week in my (not-all-that-warm) closet before the bottles burst.

    And, considering the force unleashed by the buckling of the plastic walls (the cap was perfectly intact), a garbage bag may not be enough...but it couldn't hurt, either...

    Long story short: Take caution.

    Would go cross country. I'm thinking of passing. Thanks for the help!

    Has anyone else read Lunch's review of this beer?

    Its a few reviews down on the first page.

    I was laughing my ass off at work today, certainly sounding like an idiot. His BA Sexual Chocolate one isn't bad, either.

    Well, mothafucka. Lunch lives just a few miles from me. Gotta look him up. That was a good read.

    Shipped one out to wordemupg last year. Bubble wrapped the shit out of it and taped that cap to oblivion. All was well.

    You should try drinking with him in person sometime. Hilarious.

    Like a weathered ***** just released from the emergency room against the advice of her doctor, I’m currently mounting (pun intended) a comeback. What does he know anyway? ************ went to school for 30 years and all he has to show for it is a poorly fitted white coat and fingers that have been in and around more buttholes than most professional sex workers…
