From what I understand, "local" to you, means "what's in the refridgerator"!

PS- Isn't Bud Light made in NH?

Not with nearly as many job opportunities OR close mountains...the combination of jobs and proximity to WORLD CLASS skiing that the SLC area offers is unmatched anywhere in the world likely.

Ok, here's what I've got:

Tresckow-UBU
Buzzworthy-Long Trail
Criscam-Trout River, LT, or Rock Art
Bob O-LT
Big Jay-LT (I've never seen this Geary's)

I'm thinking we'll make it out there around the 13th or so.

**Dobish** · 09-26-2007, 09:05 AM

Magic Hat Hocus Pocus is where its at. If I was still in Jackson I'd have you bring some and make the drive just to pick it up, its that good. Man I miss VT beer, and VT.

Does VT have the best breweries per capita in the United States? I think perhaps it does.

That's an awfully long run for water. I'm sorry.

Best quote during tour:
Q: What do you do with the messed up batches of bud or bud light?
A: Oh, that's Natty Light.

Haha, Natty rules--Keene State's biggest Sponser (well, at least all the sports teams).

**Altaholic** · 09-26-2007, 01:49 PM

Dude I'll go for any of these: Long Trail Double Bag, Magic Hat Fat Angel, Magic Hat Mother Lager, Magic hat Blind Faith, or Magic Hat Jinx.

If you guys wanna try some the co/northwest brews I've got some 15 case of bootlegged stuff in my place in SLC. How I miss my old VT beer.

That's a lot of beer.....and I like it!

**allenataylor** · 09-26-2007, 01:51 PM

I would pack the trailer with kegs on the way just to avoid the "cheap" beer prices when you get to SLC. I know friends who went to the U and would make over the boarder beer and fireworks runs, now thats a great combination if I ever heard one.

**adrenalated** · 09-26-2007, 02:24 PM

If you come through Denver, please put me down for some LT IPA.

**Jaltman** · 09-26-2007, 02:50 PM

I'll let you CO folks know if we make it that way.

Altaholic, you're on the list here as well.

I like your standards!

That's fine if you want to crash here... I'm pretty sure we're guest free. I'm leaving tonight for VT and returning Sat am, myself.

I can't say for certain the best, but it's a statistic that we have the most breweries per capita.

**Tele'ndaboat** · 09-26-2007, 04:54 PM

Geary's is a classic, one of the oldest micros on the east coast and from Maine. My mouth is watering thinking about it...

i'd take you up on your offer if you were going to be on 40 through the 'boat but I'm gonna be in VT and ME next week and I plan on imbibing plenty

**twodogs** · 09-26-2007, 05:03 PM

My top three-

Geary's
Harpoon
Long Trail

In UT the weird booze laws are all about the Mo dominated Government making money off us sinners.

MAY I BRING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES INTO UTAH ?
No. Under Utah law "alcoholic beverages" include all hard liquor, spirits, wine and beer. Beer and other malt beverage products that exceed 3.2% alcohol by weight or 4.0% by volume are considered "liquor", and beer with an alcohol content of 3.2% or less is defined as "beer".

Utah is a control state, and only the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (DABC) may lawfully have liquor products imported and shipped into Utah. Private individuals may not lawfully import or transport them into the state. Manufacturers and suppliers of these products may only supply them to the DABC. Only the DABC through its state liquor stores, package agencies, licensees and permittees may sell liquor products in Utah. Possession of liquor products not purchased from the DABC is strictly prohibited. Also, licensed restaurants and private clubs cannot allow patrons to bring wines onto the premises if they were not purchased in Utah. Other Utah laws prohibit the unlawful importation of beer products into Utah.

There are very few exceptions to these laws. A person coming from a foreign country who clears U.S. customs in Utah may possess, for personal consumption, two liter bottles of liquor purchased outside of Utah. Also, a person who moves his permanent residence to Utah or maintains separate residences both in and out of Utah, may possess for personal consumption, and not for sale or resale, liquor purchased outside of Utah. However, the person must first obtain DABC approval prior to moving to Utah; and upon the arrival of the product, the DABC will affix the Utah label to the liquor for an administrative handling fee. A person may not obtain approval from the DABC under this exception more than once. A person may possess for personal consumption, and not for sale or resale, liquor inherited as part of an estate that is located outside the state and brought it into Utah, after obtaining the approval from the DABC and paying the required administrative handling fee.

Finally, accredited foreign diplomatic missions that establish a mission presence in Utah may ship, possess and purchase alcoholic beverages under certain exceptions granted under the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations. For more information, click here.

Unless one of these exceptions applies, it is clear you may not bring alcoholic beverages into Utah for any purpose whether it be for personal consumption, to serve at your hospitality house or at a private social function, or to give or sell to others.

What a crock of shit. If you contact the DABC, and pay them "an administrative handling fee" to put little stickers on your booze it's OK, but only once? MoMo's need to lighten the fuck up. When it comes to booze, the rod up their ass has a rod up it's ass.

If it were not for UT ruling for outdoor activities I'd have gone nuts by now. Good thing I don't give a shit about the rules and bootleg every time I leave this state.

Rediculous.
