wow that's "Alberta/Canada Liquor Laws" territory there, boys and girls. And here I thought the USA was a civilized nation...

Prohibition left us with some wonky alcohol regulations all around.

If you're into that sort of thing Beer Wars in a pretty interesting documentary (streaming on Netflix) about the struggles craft breweries in the US face with the beer -> distributor -> store -> consumer system and how the big 3 (bud, miller, coors) are desperately throwing money around via lobbyists to keep the current (outdated) system in place and their profits at the top. Spoiler alert: there are 20 different varieties of each crap beer not because the big 3 want to give you choices but because they want to take up the most shelf space. You think it's a documentary about beer, but it's actually about how fucked up the way our government works is.

(I like unnecessary parenthetical asides.)

Good night tonight. Started with a beer at Kulshan Brewing (Bellingham). I had the CDA. Pretty good (although I am still 50/50 with that style in general). Then went to the Green Frog Acoustic Tavern for some awesome grilled cheeeeeeeeze and some brews. If you are in Bellingham in the future and haven't been to the frog make sure you do that.

I'm pretty sure it's an allowance for commercial shippers with a license and they have to know and comply with all sorts of state and county regulations.

From UPS
Quote:

Can I ship alcohol?
Q. We bought a bottle of collectible Jack Daniel's (signed and dated) at Sturgis Bike Week. Can we ship this using UPS?   A. Collectible Jack Daniel's, eh? Unfortunately, UPS cannot ship alcohol from person to person. It is often possible to do so from a producer to a buyer, if for example, you were to purchase a case of chardonnay from a vineyard. On the bright side, you'll have a nice drink waiting for you upon your return to Sturgis. And whiskey gets better with age, right?

From FedEx

And USPS
Quote:

Don’t send alcohol. And, in most cases, don’t send prescription drugs, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, or handguns.
Alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, or liquor) are not considered hazardous but can’t go in the mail. If you’re reusing a box displaying their alcohol brands, all logos and labels need to be covered up.

It's lame all around, but it's way better to go with the guys who will simply not deliver your box if it somehow leaks or opens versus the government agency who can possibly come after you for a federal offense.

Thanks for the info on shipping beer!

Another BEER afternoon up in BHAM.

Copper Hog:
They had the Southern Hemisphere by Sierra Nevada on tap. Tasted so good in the sunshine.
Elizabeth Station:
Picked up can of Deviant Dales (Oskar Blues) and a 22 of Skagit River - Gospel IPA. I didn't know that they bottled the gospel but it is probably my favorite beer that brewery makes.

Copper Hog has some really great selections on tap, and their food is damn good, too. I would frequent that place all the time if I lived up there.

Forgot to report on my trip to the Blackfoot Brewery. Started off with a Bitter (next to the single hop IPA definitely my favorite), moved to a Woolly Bugger (this was for drew) and finished with a Ginger IPA off the beer engine. It was a good day in Helena, except for the rain.

On a seperate note, Eddie Money is headlining the inaugural Brewfest at the Ballpark here in The Falls. I'm sure the nostalgia will be thick that night.
