They'll let you send that? I thought alcohol related text had to be blacked out or they wouldn't accept the package.

There's a conspicuously excited person in TX.
I've shipped in a wine box before that had all of the writing still on it.
I guess I'll find out tomorrow!

Worst case, just wrap it in gift wrapping paper. I did that when I shipped a black powder gun in its original box through USPS.

Arkansas has a stupid law that doesn't allow the sale of single bottles under 16.9oz. Prairie had to put the Bomb!'s in plastic 4pk carriers. If the necks had wax on them they wouldn't fit in the carrier.

At least you're guaranteed four bottles!I had a hard enough time getting 1!
You didn't work for them hard enough.
How would they not fit in a carrier? I have plenty of waxed bottles and the neck has nothing to do with the carrier that is around the base. Am I missing something here?

I've not seen those carriers

Me neither. That's pretty nutty! Saves material though... Pretty smart!

That is probably true!
Well, at least I have the added bonus of traveling all over Houston for work. I visit more Spec's and HEB beer depts than customers.
Depends on how you look at it I guess... paper is pretty cheap and easy, and bio-degradable...

I've got folks from work looking all over Texas for more prairie stuff, and they haven't come up with anything.
Bump, it was 2 pages back
Very good point, but a carrier (as opposed to this simple bottle holder) would need to be graphically designed to a certain degree (they could go low-key like Leinies did with Big Eddy and such) and would have to also be approved by the TTB which can take a bit of time and money. All this extra effort to allow for distribution in a single state that doesn't allow 12oz bottles to be sold as singles is not worth it for a small brewery like Prairie. As long as those holders are recyclable, I think it's a win-win decision!

I talked to the the brewer at Charleville last year. They switched from the cardboard carriers to the plastic ones on all their six packs. He said the plastic is a lot cheaper and it allowed them to spend more money on upgrades and brewing more beer. Seems to have worked because they are in the middle of building a brand new brewery.

There's an abundance around here. I'm guessing it's because you have to buy 4. There's not to many people willing to drop that much coin on a 4pk of beer.

Well, It's officially Friday for me now... If no one objects, I'll go ahead and grant this one.

I think he may be tied with work; not to be confused with tied up AT work, that would just be hilarious...or frightening.
Finsfan hit this one outa the park, the only thing I've ever had before is the founders breakfast stout and I can't wait to try the Buffalo Sweat (and hb version) that I've been hearing so much about. Thanks again finsfan

My pleasure, i hope you like them all. Let me know what you think about the hb's. The saison is probably my favorite but the pumpkin is good too. Enjoy!
Thank you!!!
