I recently shipped two corneys from north carolina to the bay area for a wedding. Told them it was yeast samples and there was no further inquiry. It was expensive, but possible

I've had great success shipping beer by using plastic bottles - not only do you not have to worry about breakage, but saves a lot of weight, too! The plastic bottles are more expensive, but I believe you save that much in shipping costs and packaging.

Here they are at northern brewer.

I don't believe you! I am going to send you my address and require you send me a box of your best brew to prove your method.

So what about shipping to altitude? My buddy was in town from Colorado and we brewed a batch while he was visiting (he's hooked). I'd like to send him some of the beer, but I live at 8ft and he lives at about 8000ft. I was thinking of shipping them as soon as they are bottled so they won't be carbonated at all yet.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I know things I received when I lived in CO that were shipped from lower altitudes had the tendency to expand..to say the least

I'm in Ohio around 800 feet, and my brother is between Carbondale and Aspen... around 7500 feet or so. I've shipped him numerous shipments in glass bottles without any problems. I wrap the SNOT out of them just to be safe.

Thanks for the info! My buddy is in Vail so quite close - as a crow flies anyway.. I'll be sure to double-bag 'em, as it were.

+1 on the picture fix please. About how much does it cost to ship a 12x12x12 box?
