Hey Kim what's the sweetspot in regards to shipping with France 44. How much do you normally buy to see the best value considering shipping costs? I was looking at their site today. Very nice options.

---

France44 is great. The key is to fill up one box to maximize shipping cost. One box fills up with 6 4packs of Surly, I know that. As you are filling the shopping cart and before checkout it will let you know if your order exceeds one container.

Yeah Kim's right the first time I ordered 4 - 4 packs just placed another order Sunday for 6 - 4 packs and shipping was only $10 more. Definitely full up the box. Shits so good you'll be wanting all you can get anyway. Lol

Thanks!

Looks like I'm going to have to find this:

Question for the board...

I know IPA freshness hovers around 3 months but does that hold true for reds, i.e. hop head red. We just got it but it all has 09/12 brew dates on them. The WC IPA has 01/13 dates. Just seems weird that there is such a difference.

I think it holds true for any beer that has hops at the forefront. It just varies from beer to beer more than style to style sometimes. For instance, I find that Endeavor loses much more than other DIPAs within 3 months.

Thats what I figure. As for the endeavor, it has completely disappeared in Lake Charles. It's the great vanishing. I will admit that my beer buying has decreased recently so I might just be missing it.

Gary Blackwell's got some port brewing hop 15 per his most recent email
