Word to the wise: Be careful with these things. Seriously. If you have any amount of carpet/upholstery in your home, you will be super-charged with a ridiculous amount of static. (It should come with a free gift of Static Guard instead of a reading light.) We bumped a doorknob while charged up and IT HURT. True story. We would not even consider approaching the computer while wearing Snuggie for fear of frying the thing.

Also, if you are under the height of 6′ tall, it is not really one-size-fits-all. Instead, it drags and could (probably) be considered a safety hazard for that reason, too. Do not use stairs while wearing Snuggie if you are short. (Can you hem a Snuggie?) On the other hand, if you are over 6′ tall, you should be able to walk just fine, although you look like someone from Roman or Biblical times—except for the additional sleeves. Or you just look like an idiot.

And just think, someone is getting rich off of the WTF Blanket. Doesn’t that make you mad?

Don’t buy a Snuggie—Buy Beer!

There are tons of holiday items available at Bruisin’ Ales, including prepackaged gift boxes/tins from Corsendonk, Petrus, St. Fueillien, Duvel, Chimay. Share good beer with the entire family (over 21, of course) with a magnum or 3L of Corsendonk Christmas, Chimay, or Piraat.

Make that holiday toast with a biere brut, or champagne beer, like Deus, Malheur (brut/dark brut), or Krait. Or go for something aged to perfection, like oak-aged sparkling Scaldis Prestige or Xayauyu from le Baladin, possibly the best barleywine we’ve ever had. A splurger for the beer geek in your life, Xayauya is much more like a port, smooth and warming. The ultimate beer lover’s digestif!

Plenty of holiday beers are still around. Mix-a-six of your favorite craft holidays brews to bring to the party. And for those who’s tastes are beyond your knowledge, give them a Bruisin’ Ales gift certificate!

Also, don’t forget our massive glassware selection, as well as t-shirts, hats, beer soap and more!

Still time to ship in time for Christmas delivery, too! Order today. http://www.bruisin-ales.com/store.php

Cheers and Hoppy Holidays!

 We’ve been working on this for some time now (like, months) and the permits are in place. Bruisin’ Ales now ships to allowed states. The details are being worked through, and we weren’t really prepared to put it online yet, but beernews.org got word of it. Then Ashvegas picked it up and so did Beerinator. So, there it is. We’re shipping. Eventually, we’ll be integrating an online store with our retail management system, but until then, here are the basics (full legalese to come): 

1. Browse the Bruisin’ website and e-mail us your order and shipping address. orders@bruisin-ales.com
2. Fax or e-mail a copy of your valid ID.
3. We will call you with a final price, including shipping fees, and charge your credit card. Visa, Master, and American Express accepted. No COD.
4. Packaging costs and FedEx Ground shipping will be charged accordingly.
5. Adult signature is REQUIRED upon delivery.

There are some descrepancies as to which states we can ship to that will be resolved shortly. Also:

1. We are not responsible for items damaged by handling or weather, i.e. heat or cold.
2. No shipments to P.O. boxes, military addresses, Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada.
3. Please do not e-mail your credit card number.
4. You are responsible for knowing your state’s laws and abiding by them.
