I give it 5 stars because of product quality and speed in delivery and if something's out of stock...Matt will contact you

$7 Very quick with their deliveries so another 5 star
http://64.33.104.249/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=VCOS&Category_Code 00 (where I bought the beers in this post) I give it 4 stars because it's a bit slower in deliveries(duh..theyre in Va and I'm in Wy) and don't carry a lot of Victory products, dammit. ;^)

Only ordered once from them and the service really impressed me and the stock is growing pretty quickly.

That's where I get my Bell's, Sprecher, Ballantine Ale, and other "central" brews. I give it only a 3 star cuz they did ship me some Prima Pils that was, like, 8 months expired. Other than that 1 instance though, they did me right.

I've probably ordered more from HiTimes than anywhere else. Excellent service and product is always fresh +5 stars!
I've never had a single damaged product from any of the above vendors despite UPS/FED EX's best efforts. ;^)
Good Stuff, Bill. After my years in DC, I sure miss Hop Pocket. I have lots of great Goose Island here in Chicago, but I could sure go for a Tuppers right now. . .

There are other beers I consider to be more impressively complex, but, if I have a favorite beer on the planet, that's it. Best balance between citric hops and malts I've had in a pale ale, and a phenomenal, full, creamy palate. I can say without much of a touch of irony that I deeply, deeply love New River Pale Ale. It's the best damn pale ale on the planet.
It's a shame I've never tasted it and considering I live minutes away from Dominion, I'll have to fill up a growler of NR for the Memorial Day weekend.
Growlers..yeah..I have a couple of them. There used to be a time when Casper had a liquor store that had like 8 taps that you could choose from to fill your growler. Now, I have to be content with making the occasional visit to Ft. Collins and filling 'em with Coopersmith's Punjabi.(not the cask cuz they said they wouldn't do it)
