How to obtain the BotB beers?

[jlttb]

Battle of the Beers was fun last year, but I wound up only knowing eight of the beers - any ideas on getting quick access to some of the others? This seems like a great entrepeneuring opportunity!

3 options:

1. Start driving - between Shoreline Beverage on LI, NYC, Philly, DC, etc. many can probably be obtained within a few hours drive.

2. Shop online - VintageCellar and Liquidsolutions have good selections - others out there as well

3. Trade - takes more time as people have to shop, pack and ship beer, possibly cross country, which can take 5 days or more.

Good luck - may the best beer win.
Cheers!

Yep. It will be tough until the list is posted. And even then some beers are seasonal or just plain hard to come by even though they have well deserved reputations.

Hmm, I've never been to Shorline, but I was just looking at their site (http://www.shorelinebeverage.com/) and it definitely looks worth a trip! Not far either.
Thanks for the tip!
