Oh I didn't even read it. I just assumed 30.

I literally had no idea there were duty free shops at the border.

Why do you call 30 packs of Busch lite

The quickly-pay-and-get-out-of-the-store-before-anyone-sees-you pack.

Budweiser is the anti-hero pack. Just trash. Better than Corona though but that's not a high bar.

When I visited the Great White North they had Bud Light Apple which I enjoyed and brought home with me. I miss that poo poo. Just appley enough to cover up that bud light flavor but not enough to forget it’s a beer.

Basically what #1p said. Like if you’re in the US you can’t go to the US side and just buy cheap booze and go back home(they store your license plate). You basically have to visit Canada for two days, buy at the Duty Free on the Canadian side, then go home with your tax free booze. There are maximum limits (last time I think was 24 beers and 1.5L of liquor per person).

If you get to WI then pick up some New Glarus. Spotted Cow is generally the most consumed and my favorite but they have a few others. You can't get it outside of WI. That's what you see the Red Letter Media guys drink just about every episode.

Does Canada have different standard sizes for liquor bottles than the US? Here the big bottles are 1.75L, so a 1.5L limit would be pretty awkward. I guess you could just get two 750ml ones but that's usually a bad deal.

drat, that sucks. When I was in Denmark my mom and one of our hosts drove over the border to Germany to pick up booze and went straight back home. So I was in Germany for like an hour. For alcohol for my parent's and friends.

I actually probably got stamped for that. I'd have to find my 25 year old passport.

Same size bottles. I just looked it up and it’s actually worse: 1L per person.



You can go over the limit, but they add some tax back on the amount over the limit.

Well that's like when you hit TSA and you gotta slam your drink.

Just slam .75L of booze in front of the nazis. Then they'll have to let you go right back into your car and drive home.

Last time I came back I bought 2L and I just declared the extra bottle at the border and didn’t get charged anything. They don’t care unless you make a habit out of it or are trying to bring ridiculous amounts across.

I could be mistaken, but I believe the 1L rule applies to hard liquor, and beer is treated differently.

What I would like to know is how much do they charge you in duty for anything over the limit?

It kinda is. It's a good solid beer but I think it has the whole McRib thing going on. You can only get it at certain times (places).

But it's a good step up from Miller and doesn't cost as much as some 6 pack of PNW HyperIPA.

Oh, and it's always on tap.

Those fools out there say draft. I asked what they had on tap and they didn't even know what I was saying.

It's good. It's not great. I used to get a couple when I drove over to golf.....until I realized that it was more a novelty than anything.

Well there's no question that it's a step up from Miller. It's a good beer. But what do I know. I'm from Minnesota.

And I think that Summit EPA is one of the best beers. Sue me.

In WI everyone has spotted cow on tap, so it's always the reliable backup if you can't find your favorite or something else that's interesting. Or the entire menu is full of IPAs. I'm too old to drink those anymore.
