The "wink" is re the underground pipeline from PG to my house, it's ok everyone here is cool.

Hey Gmonk, do you guys have any Southern Tier Unearthly IPA left?

Yes we do.....how much ya looking for?

Was looking for about 3 bottles of the Unearthly and 1 of the Jah-Va Stout.

Just got back a few hours ago from my trip to Premier, here's my haul:

Six Packs:
Victory Storm King
Middle Ages Grail Ale
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald
Southern Tier IPA

Singles:
Rogue Chocolate Stout
Rogue Imperial IPA
Belzebuth
2 Southern Tier Unearthly IPA
Southern Tier Jah-Va Imperial Coffee Stout
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter
Weyerbacher Hops Infusion
Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA
Lost Coast 8 Ball Stout
Smutty Nose Robust Porter
Great Divide Hercules Double IPA
Great Divide Titan IPA
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine

I also grabbed a jar of Sierra Nevada Stout mustard.

What's the latest news from Premier? I think I am heading down for the afternoon this weekend and am debating between stopping and not. Michigan this past weekend put a bit of a dent in what I can justify picking up!

Hey guys - new to the site!

In regards to border-HOPping (haha) for quality brews, for those in the London area, Ryan's Liquor in Port Huron MI is a great place to stop....
They stock Victory, Rogue, Goose Island, Sierra, & Speakeasy to name a few...
Well worth the 1 hr drive from London...

I have made the crossing from sarnia 5 times, and have never had to pay duty (each time bringing 1-2 cases back). Ryan's liquor is right at the border - so close, I crossed, bought, and crossed again in 14 mins.
You should have seen the custom's guys face "how long in the states"
"ahh...14 min"....

haven't seen this reviewed in Ratebeer or Beer Advocate--is this an ad?

I don't think so, Port Urine wouldn't be a place i would turn to to look for people cultured in Beer to actually know that they have a place with good stuff.

It is not an ad....it won't be reviewed in BA either - it is a small place, that has a small (but good) US micro section.
If you are in the Sarnia area, it is a great place to go.
I love good micros, and this is a close spot to Sarnia/London where I know I can get good stuff.
It is not worth a 3 hr trip from Toronto, but well worth it for those in the London area.

Thanks for the tip Dokta I usually cross at Sarnia when I go to the upper peninsula for Coho fishing.... it is probably the last stop on the way to buy good micros to take with me before entering the macro world of the "da yoopers" in the UP Mich area

no problem pootz....when you cross the border, hang a right to go to the main drag....hang another right, and go under the bridge, and it is 2 seconds down the street on the right hand side....literally 2 min from the border.

Stone is now back in. Cheers -Karl
