I always bring some local crafts from IL and other near by states to trade and share with my neighbors, what beers do people bring? I drink some swill lite beer, but love to have a couple Three Floyds Alpha Kings, New Hollands Summer Wit, Goose Islands IPAs, Two Brothers.
I've got a friend from work putting some Yuengling on lockdown for me as we speak. That will be fun to explain to the peeps I carpool with on Monday. "Why do you have four cases of beer in the backseat?"
On the Bells Two Hearted, they do sell it in minikegs, now the question is do they allow minikegs or do they call them kegs and say you cant bring them in. ALSO as a home brewer, I recommend that you sanitize the container you pour beer into or else the flavor may be off. Try a mild bleach solution (2Min contact time and you gotta rinse) or Iodophor ( 2 min contact time, no rinse, but it a brew stores), or you can use the heated dry function on the dishwasher to sanitize. and remember, keep beer out of the light, that makes it skunky... ever wonder why corona wants you to put a lime in the neck? those clear bottles let the light modify chemicals in the hops.

where is that beer from?
you can bring in the heineken style mini-kegs, but they frown on everything else. if you hide it, you might be able to sneak in a small keg (i.e. homebrew). but you probably wont get a real keg through security.
i need to buy a couple of them small kegs.... probably heineken, not sure what the second one will be.

I could bring so many amazing brews from the bay area CA ... too bad i'm flying in. I'm down to do a beer swap with someone (in the mail) though. Some highlights you may be interested in: anderson valley (ipa, amber, ale i think), arrogant bastard ale (amazing! smoked porter, russian imperial stout, ipa), lagunitas....
anyone pm me if you're intersted and i'll get a better list of the local brews. i'm interested in lots so maybe pm me a summary of your local selection?
I love hearing how much you all love Bells. I'm from Kalamazoo and I thats the only beer I drink. I loveee two hearted but the Amber is my favorite.
I didn't see a reply yet but, They DO allow minikegs.. LIke the picture of the two hearted one. I've brought Oberon minikegs for the past three Roos. They are great for Roo

While not from my home state, some decent breweries that make beer in cans that are good for roo are Oskar Blues and Sly Fox. In the past there was no problem smuggling in bottles, but last year they really seemed to crack down.
