Anyone entering the Sam Adams "LONGSHOT" ?

Anyone do it last year?

I've looked all over the Columbus, OH area for a 6-pak of the beer that won last year & no one seems to have it.

I'm not planning on entering the comp. Due to not having great beer not due to not loving the contest idea.

I did pick up the long shot sixpack at a Woodman's in Green Bay last month and the beers were impressive. Even the boysenberry wheat was pretty good for such a foo-foo type of beer.

The Strong Ale was GOOD !!

I haven't seen any of the Longshot beers here in Texas, but I assume that there was some problem with the alcohol content and the labeling... for whatever reason Texas is finicky about labels on high alcohol beers.

Please enter good beers in the Longshoot comp! Thanks!

I am going to enter a Maibock. I think by the time the competition comes around, it might be respectable.

I do not know if I will win at all, but my friends are pushing me to do it.

I may enter an I.P.A. just for fun too.

I'm sending a Roggenbier and an American Wheat.

How are you shipping your beer?

I know USPS will not ship alcohol. I went to Fed-X to ship some to Justin and they told me that alcohol has to be package be an "authorized dealer", whatever that is. I told them I had glassware in the box.

So, how do I get around this issue when the Longshot address says "Homebrew" ???

Any suggestions?
