      You said it. Multi-state distribution is a bear.

      It so happens, however, that there's a bottle shop in the state of North Carolina that happens to be one of the top 3 bottle shops in the country. It so happens that said bottle shop ships beer around the country and that it has been known to act as a kind of distributor for certain local breweries.

      I have no deals worked out (because I have no product just yet), I'm just putting that information out there. :)

      Question, will there be some method for backers to actually purchase the beer later? I know beer distribution (especially through mail) laws can be somewhat Draconian, and it'd be a damned shame to see all this cool stuff being made and never get to try it :)

      Hey -

      No, it is not. And while imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I can't say I'm too impressed with the straight cut and paste from Kickstarter here.

      Thanks for pointing this out.

      Just wanted to know if this is you as well? Even though the name is different?

      I love this idea. I have been homebrewing for 15 years and if it wasn't for being in the Army, I would be interested in helping out. Best of luck; I look forward to reading about your adventure...

      Good luck with your project. I'm sorry to say I can't contribute as my own business is in its death-throes. I am a lover of good hand-crafted ales.

      Good luck,
