Suggestions: Buying Beer Online

Bought some Pliny (and others) from the jug shop back in August that was a week old...and shipping wasn't bad at all:

Why should some states ship to Pa and some not? If's it's legal they should ship to you. Did you talk to Caren?

 

That's the point; it is not legal to ship to PA but some places will do it anyway.

 

I will admit I bit on this one. I debated it for a few hours but called a friend and he told me to split it with him so we did and ordered some Flower Power as well. It was pretty damn expensive but without knowing how the Va. distro is going to be I'd rather drop the money now and have some guaranteed. The fact that it's being sold online though makes me think there will be plenty to go around.

 

The reason I ask is I placed an order back in June no problem but today I was given a message that they don't ship to PA anymore. Just wanted to see if anyone had any info on what changed, other than it is illegal.

 

Sounds good. Thanks mate. They seem to be the best bet for getting a good variety of stuff from the West Coast and space in between here and there that I just don't normally find here. I'm willing to pay hefty shipping on variety packs since those themselves are a good value at around $18 a pop. Not like I don't pay $3 a bottle here to get stuff individually anyway.

 

Pa isn't on the shipping list, I checked. Not a clue what's changed.

 

Yes, it *used* to be. I'll have to change my records.

 

They just recently started shipping.

 

On another thread, I was led to Lueken's Big Town Liquors. They have Cigar City (plus several other Florida/ SE brands) and that's pretty awesome.

 

Same here - placed an order with them last night. First time trying them. They had Marshal Zhukov in stock and I was able to order a couple along with a few saisons.

 

EtreGourmet does, in fact, charge an arm and a leg. Hope that helps.

 

Because it's illegal to mail-order beer to Texas.

Order all the wine you want though! Because that makes complete sense!

 

Yeah I called France44 about the change. Apparently the PLCB got in contact with them about illegal trafficking of alcohol and would report them to the ATF and shit. Dam scare tactics PA. Beer laws sucks and your killing my beer purchases too. Now I have to trade for Surly again.

 

I typed in my zip code and I guess there's free shipping for me. I'm gonna order some Pliny soon.

 

http://www.shopmerwins.com/ is where I get my surly fix. Shipping maybe a little high - but not too bad. Definitely cheaper than the amount of gas it'd take to drive there.

 

I get Surly Furious from france44. 2/4 packs delivered to my door right at 32 bucks. It's 9.99 a /4 pk. Legal no hassle, sometimes they throw in an extra. Hell, I might order some today rather than spending 10 bucks on a so so IPA.

 

Halftime's "FREESHIP" with purchase of over $100 is back. Just thought you guys would like to know.

 

At that price do it. I've never ordered because their shipping rates off set the great bottle price. But Pliny for under 5 bucks and free shipping is a steal.

 

Which is why the extra's are so great in a trade. Shipping is a bitch everywhere.
