Fuck that's awesome!

A few of our local breweries are doing the same. So is my local liquor store. They actually made up a quick order form you can fill in on their website so you don’t even have to call. It’s baller AF.

I’ve been drinking a lot of Summit Twenty-One and Saga.

I'm sure you know this but they have a sampler case that has Saga, 21, Slugfest, and some elderflower IPA that isn't too bad. Can't beat it.

Yeah, the breweries both do it over the web. And maintain physical distancing by doing a drop and knock.
Liquor stores in Ontario are government run so their website sucks balls and delivery is by Canada Post :sigh:

PA was a bit tricky for quarantine because the state-run liquor and wine distributors closed really early and you can't ship from out of state (legally). The beer distributors are allowed to deliver, so we'd been doing that for a bit, but now we've taken to buying gin, vodka, and bourbon from some local distillers who deliver to your door. That combined with crowler pick-ups from the brewery around the corner, and I honestly can't see myself going back to doing beer runs after this. It's so easy.

I'm and IPA lover as well. Have you tried Brut IPAs? I'm starting the evening with one

I do know! Summit is a local brewery here so we get all those fun variety packs throughout the year. Saga has been a staple beer for me for many years. Twenty-One is brand new and I prefer it to Slugfest, although I like that one too. I haven’t had the other one yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Fun to hear someone else enjoying Summit.

I don't think they will be allowed to continue with home deliveries after the corona is vanquished and we all get back to normal.

I'm just over the border in WI. Been enjoying Summit and Surly for years. Anything else I should look for?

As far as I understand the local liquor places have always offered delivery, we've just never taken advantage of it because we knew nothing about PA spirits. But they're surprisingly good. I knew the beer place delivered, I just didn't want to pay delivery fees, but I'm starting to think it's worth it.

Oh. My. Gosh! There is so much! Where in WI are ya? A couple of my favorite breweries are in Sconnieville too.

Treehouse house contactless pickup, but you have to buy a case that they put together for you. Nothing they brew is bad, but I don't want any stouts. I suppose it's worth a few stouts if I can stock my fridge with Julius, Haze, and Green.

It looks like there's delivery services in Brooklyn, or do you mean the lack of local places?

TapRm currently has a $25 minimum for free delivery I believe.

Yeah, I know. Thanks team. I was trying to be ironic.

The issue isn't access. It's more of a cost v quality thing.

"I know Gerry. I was being ironical."

Everyone's very worried about you Joe. We know how you get when you don't drink.

I might get roasted for this but I feel like Tree House, as awesome as it is, and inspired the NEIPA style, is widely available now. I live in CT and feel like I've gone from getting a couple good 4-packs to enjoy sparingly to only drinking the good stuff since it's so easy now with the online pay/contactless pick up.
