Phillips Brewing Private Order - Victoria BC
Hey folks,
Is anyone interested in partaking in a private order from Phillips Brewing? I was in BC in December and love the beer from there. This brewery carries some of BCs top rated beer. The Amnesiac IPA and Double Chocolate stand out. I haven't tried the Oatmeal Stout, but I'm confident it's great!
Here's their website:

I've already contacted the LCBO about a private order and I already have prices for the Amnesiac and Double Chocolate. Those particular beers come in 750ml size and are the usual 3 times the regular price on average that importing through the LCBO costs. Is anyone interested in joining the order? Check out the site, discuss.

Well I asked specifically about the Amnesiac and Longboat.. I really really wanted their Burley Wine but it's unavailable (I cried a little inside). I can find out about the Rasp and Draught Dodger as well.
In terms of pricing... keep in mind these are double bottles.. it looks like pricing is about $170 for a 12 bottle case. OUCH. I'm not sure if there are any hidden costs or testing fees, lost bottles due to testing and the like. I've never done this before, but love the Phillips brew so figured I'd start the ball rolling and gauge interest.
Perhaps they'll drop the price if we order more cases, these prices were based on single cases. So yeah, once I have a better idea I can follow up with these questions.
Also, if anyone else has experience with this, I'm all ears!

...it's great beer.. and these are double bottles!
Did I say it's great beer?
I'm hoping if we get more cases the cost will go down. The quoted prices were for 1 case. Again, after I've gauged interest and figured out the questions I need to ask, I'll go bug them again.

Ouch is an understatement. I'd love to try this beer, but not at $14 a bottle.

Yeah, those beers retail for about $4.75 in the BC liquor stores. I've had plenty of the amnesiac in particular and it is a great beer...but at those prices you'd be better off buying a ticket on WestJet and flying out to get some yourself.
I don't always piss in a bottle but when I do...I prefer to call it Dos Equis.

So you'll be picking us up cases then? While you're up there please PLEASE bottle me of Game Day from Dix.. man I can still taste it. I will be back.
But in the meantime all I got is importing. There seems to be enough interest, so yeah, is there anything else I should be aware of when it comes to private orders? I heard there's a testing fee? They use a beer or two to sample/test? I'm guessing there are taxes on top of the price? Ugh. Any other "gotchas" I should be aware of?

I wasn't aware of such a sheet. Such a sweet sweet sheet.
Alright I'll find out about hidden costs, taxes, cost breakdown if I get more cases, etc.
