So who can get me a four pack shipped to Vermont?
I'll see what I can do at the local store.
I can probably help out. Can you ship me some cool Vermont beer back? 
Seems like an awfully busy beer.
Any Minnesotans looking for this- if you're anywhere in the area, blue max in Burnsville should have it. They have the single largest selection of beer I've ever seen, including stuff that's been there for multiple years, like 2016 pentagram and stuff. If you're a beer drinker, blue max is where you go.
Does that still qualify as beer?
It's fitting that Wilford Brimley is on the can.

That's Simonson's Thor. One of the best comic book artists to ever live.

Why yes! I do believe that would be possible. What would you like. We have the highest per capita micro breweries in the country.
I could ship some as well
Sounds like you better hurry, it's a pretty limited release.
Hold on to your hammers! Our new packaged beer is sure to electrify your world. Clocking in at 7.5% ABV and featuring a perfect balance of maple syrup from Minnesota's own Norse Shore (see what we did there?), vanilla, and cacao, this super stout packs a serious wallop.
Thunder God is a seriously limited release, with just a few hundred cases brewed for the four-state area, so when the thunder rolls, don't take cover--take action and grab a four pack before it's too late.

Received. Your beer will be out before the end of the week. Thanks tons!
Woohoo! And UPS got it there a day early, awesome. Feel free to use the same packaging for the return trip. Just curious, what temperature were they when they arrived?
I intend to return in same packaging. I'd say they were cooler than ambient but not by much. Don't think they'll be any issues. BTW, Heady Topper is only supplied cold. So I'll pack as much cooling into the box as I can. I've been assured that it will be fine so long as you don't expect it to last a month before you drink it.
Last time I tried to ship alcohol it was a total pita. UPS wouldn't take it.

Sir, I am shipping a load of salsa to my family back home. They only ask you to say it's not alcohol. They've never checked for me, not once.
Yeah, I never expected it to stay refrigerated, just hoped to protect it from spending several days in 90F+ heat. Seems to have been a success.
I was not interrogated about what I was or wasn't shipping. Print label on PirateShip (highly recommended, great rates), drop off at UPS store, wave to the guy behind the counter who is helping the slow-moving line of people who didn't show up with a prepaid label.
I hope you enjoy the stout. I'm excited for some IPA!

"Yeast samples."
Back atcha!
This thread is berkeleying great
I've been lazy updating this, but the package I sent to vwcorvette was returned last Wednesday with a treat from Vermont, the much-vaunted Heady Topper:
I'm not a hardcore hop-head, but I like an IPA and was excited to try one that's so universally highly-rated. I have to say, WOW, this one is an experience. Just huge hop flavors from beginning to end. Honestly, it's a little much for me--I have to be in the right mood for this big of a beer, but I've been in the right mood twice in the past week, so I think it's fair to say I like it. Thanks vwcorvette, would trade again any time!

I'm trying to hold off on the last can of Thunder God Stout. It's so smooth.
Glad you like the Topper.
This thread is awesome. Aside from all the other awesomeness already mentioned, it reminds me that God made blondes and brunettes for a reason. This sounds to me like it would be really good for 4-6 ounces, then after that you realize there is just too much going on. But my beer palate is extremely boring.
