Beer

[Iceaxe]

Just wanted to tell someone.... I had to drive up to Idaho for work today so I brought back 4 cases of Molson Ice (my favorite), a case of Corona's and a case of Modelo. Also brought back 6 bottles of really good Idaho wine.

I now have enough beer to make it to the end of the NFL season.



The wine is for a romantic evening with the hot young stripper wife...

Is it legal to transport alcohol across state lines?




Did you give the state their fair share of taxes for the privelage of drinking it here in their state?




If you got one of those car wraps that look like a brown paper bag, then I believe it would be alright.

This topic has come up before so I called UHP as spoke with a Trooper. I was told yes it is illegal but unless you have packed a uhaul or have a large container (keg) there is no way you are going to get a ticket.

BTW oral sex is illegal in Utah.

Yum.

Like Benjamin Franklin said "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

As far as I can tell, among Utahns, smuggling booze is more common than fishing.

If I was prosecuted for that I would tell the d.a. to blow me.

Getting down as well as going down - they'll both be a problem for you.

Normally Dirk would be all over this but, yeah, my cute little neices I used to change diapers and baby sit and still view them as little, well, they're older than you SkyBlue. Even the Hammer has his limits, shocking as it may be.

Cooler on deck contents consist of--------- 1 six of Fat Tire
1 six of Moose Drool- a six of Spaten Premium, Optimator and the Franz- whatever. Also a six of the Wasatch Devastator. This will be an enjoyable weekend of cross country skiing- if it ever quits snowing up here.

Oh yea- there is a fifth of Kolstika KO in there also. That'some smooth shooting Sh**

We're not talking 3.2 I take it

Nope

Molson Ice is 5.6%, you can buy it in Utah at the liquor store but the state nicks you $1.50 per bottle.

We can buy Corona's here but the case is stamped 3.2%. Some of the breweries cut their beer with filtered water to make the 3.2 grade and the beer will be marked in some manner. For example, Heineken 3.2 beer is identified by a red border around the bottle label. Many beers (bud, coors, miller) are already below 3.2% so no big deal. I've made several thousand dollars in my life because I know which beers at 3.2 and how many are marked. There is always some drunk willing to bet that Bud or Coors in Utah is different then other states.... nope, just make the bet, call the brewery and collect your cash.

What a crappy subject for me today, I gave up all booze for January to help me with some fitness goals. I really love beer, a lot. My favorite smuggle is anything from Rogue Brewing, Dead Guy is the best. Second favorite is Molsen Canadian.

for others playing along ...

Molson's 5.6% is alc. per volume
in Utah when someone says 3.2% this is alc. per weight ~ 4% alc. per volume

almost every liquor/wine/beer/etc. bottler labels in % by vol.

also 3.2%/4% means "less than or equal to"

Yes, this threw me at first. "3.2%? Yikes!" Then I found out it was by weight - so really about 4%. So that means that regular beer in Utah equals light beer here.

I'd much rather have half as much of an 8% Maudite, or a 9%, triple fermented, Trois Pistoles, both from Unibroue in Quebec. For their 11th anniversary a few years back, they put out "Onze" (Eleven). It was that many percent. Big, bold, beautiful.

I'm amused by the appreciation of Molson beers down there. Sheesh, if you like Molson, you'll love Kokanee. [/sarcasm]

My father in law asked me once whether I'd rather have a Kokanee or a Molson Canadian. Told him it was like asking if I wanted a cold or a flu... Um, neither, thanks. (Though Molson had some great "I Am Canadian" ads a few years back. Must look 'em up on YouTube. Probably have to be Canadian to get them, though.)
