I loved conscience when I grabbed it early last month. I really hope they are not tweaking it too much because ian's description sounds nothing like what I had.

Re: Westy 12

Our current order is oversubsribed (as it usually is). Anyone who booked should get some but another order is on the way. Please contact us to confirm a previous order and to subscribe to the next order on the water now. I have bar commitments for more than I can supply in a year but I want to make...

thanks for the comments from the more experienced guys here. i typically never cross on 1-2 hour trips with just beer as i'll always grab a few grocery goodies from trader joes or wegmans so my response can honestly be "groceries" and then my volume response for beer if they ask if i have ...

US crossing tip

I thought I should post this here, but move it if there's a better spot. One problem I was worried about when trading with people in the US was the issue of not having any receipts most of the time when returning to canada, especially since most of the time I just go over for an hour and grab stuff ...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had Yakima last year and found it to be nice but not a stand out to mule back from pq. I like aphro a lot, and actually I'll probably get some to send to my buddy in Texas who loves it. Disco soleil sounds good, hopefully he can find some bottles. Hey Ian, that bar...
