I mapped it, and I'm 3.5 hours away. However ... some of our best friends, who we're overdue to visit, live in Candler, NC, twelve miles away. Road trip!

Jaime,

Wegmans usually carries Smuttynose beers. Their IPA is pretty tasty.

That beer store does look wonderful, but really not much different than 99 Bottles a couple miles from where I work. It is easily on the way home, if I want it to be. Bwahahahaha.

Will you be getting some Jubel 2010 this February, Tom? I may need to ask you to buy me some.

That's a pretty safe bet, Peter.

Have I invited you over lately? Because it's been too long.

Yes, it has!

Thanks, Grunt, I suspect you are correct.

I hate to brag, but I think y'all's lil' old liquor stores can't measure up to the soCal mecca of all things alcohol:

Dang, that's a long link.

Our liquor stores or access to stores that sell such beverages don't measure up to so much as one tenth of what i just saw on that website.
Is that a sad state of Canadian alcohol affairs?
