Help out some fellow veterans.
If I could ask you all for a little help I would appreciate it. Two guys I deployed to Iraq an Afghanistan opened a microbrewery when we got back last year. It is the 14th Star brewery. So named as Vermont was the 14th state. This would be a huge boost for these guys. Since opening in June they have more than tripled their output and sales. But Vermont can be tough for micro and nano breweries. It will only take a few minutes at best.
Look for 14th Stars' Valour Ale.
Thanks in advance for all that do vote. 😀

beer is hard to find here unless it's ordered through a specialty vender...
all I see is mostly "redneck" beers... bud, budlight, coors, coors light, hieniken (european redneck beer) etc... some of the local island beers are good, but 10$ a 6 pack is a bit off-putting.
one of my favorite brewers was 21st amendment brewery (Brew free or die!) but I haven't seen it down here as it's a smaller player (not one of the big three).
I'll keep an eye out though.
These guys just started bottling, was just growlers so shipping was a no. But i should check into mailing if people are interested. Not sure how USPS or UPS etc... feel about shipping beer though?
I had 8 bottles of Alaskan Amber mailed to me while I was in Iraq (General order #1 doesn't apply to signal corps!) and 7 of 8 made it intact!
probably wasn't super legal however, I'm unsure of the laws covering that (aside from General order #1)
