Beer from a U.S. day trip

The girlfriend popped across the border after a site visit for work. I am a lucky man:

Lagunitas Sucks Holiday Ale (six-pack)
Sierra Nevada Celebration (six-pack)
Stone Ruination (six-pack)
Ithaca Flower Power (six-pack)
Sixpoint Righteous Ale (4-pack)
Troeg's Flying Mouflan
Firestone Walker Double Jack
Dogfish Head 120 Minute

She crossed Peace Bridge and paid no duty.

Nice! Ever hearing about other BTers getting through without paying duty makes me feel better about the duty I just paid. I hope there is still some Sucks down there later on in the week when I am hopefully making another trip down to Buffalo.

She mentioned seeing a lot of it. Highly recommended IPA. Bottled Dec 5th!

Sadly, I just opened the Righteous Ale pack and found out they expired in Nov (why didn't they put the BB date on the package?!) but it's still tasting pretty good. Rye malt helps carry it.

y luck finally changed. Just got back from Buffalo with 36 bottles (my brother had about 30) and paid no duty! I did stay overnight though, which definitely helped my case.

Lol, she probably saved me though. Anymore it wouldn't have fit in her car and been weighed down more. Luckly no questions asked at the border and didn't have to pay duty or any additional charges. So in a way I was thankful she was there.
