speaking of Christmas, Ames Lager would male a great present for out of state Cyclones. Just make sure you read the rules for shipping alcohol.
It's "illegal" to transport alcohol across state lines, one of those dumb laws still carried over from Prohibition era. Everyone does it, especially from Wisconsin (Spotted Cow).What are the rules? or where can I find them?
I live in Illinois but will be in Ames for a basketball game in a few weeks. Rules or no rules, I can tell you that everyone who goes to Wisconsin comes back with a few cases of New Glarus. I figure it shouldn't be a big deal to bring back a few cases of Ames Lager
It's not illegal to transport it, it's illegal to transport and sell it.It's "illegal" to transport alcohol across state lines, one of those dumb laws still carried over from Prohibition era. Everyone does it, especially from Wisconsin (Spotted Cow).
It's not illegal to transport it, it's illegal to transport and sell it.
You can buy Spotted Cow and bring it to Iowa. You can't buy Spotted Cow, bring it to Iowa, and then sell it.
Well, I was wrong. For some reason I thought I looked into this a long time ago to see if it was actually true and had come to the conclusion that personal use transport was legal, but I guess not.Iowa law prohibiting out-of-state alcohol rarely enforced
Iowa lawmakers are keeping a law that makes it illegal to transport most alcohol into the state despite police saying regulation is rarely enforced.www.kcrg.com
I feel like it basically is a light beer but I usually only drink IPA or stronger beers so I might be a bad person to ask.My guess is the reason for the sales is that people stocked up and now don't need more. Much like covid, selfish people over bought initially. Some probably don't really like the taste. Not my favorite as I'm a light beer guy. But I drink one each week to support
Having a light or IPA option would help for sure.
People might have stopped looking for it since early on it was hard to find. I'll check for it more often and do my part when I see it.Greetings all,
Wanted to spread the word that Ames Lager is becoming much more widely available but for some reason sales have dropped considerably in last couple of weeks. You can help by doing a couple of things:
1. Continue to purchase Ames Lager! It’s a huge help. West O is going to announce a sizable donation to We Will next week that will significantly impact our efforts with the portal opening on December 4th. Ames Lager is the only Iowa State branded beer whose proceeds actually go to NIL.
2. Remind your favorite beer/liquor store that Ames Lager is very much available year round and to contact their local distributor if they don’t have it.
I know Iowa State fans can and will rally to the cause so appreciate your support greatly!

I'm in the same boat. I think I'm down to my last three so need to stock up soon.I bought a ton (like 12 six packs worth) the first month and am still going through inventory. But I’m getting low.
Trade them some New Glarus.Just bought a new six pack to refill on Sunday. Does remind me I had a Wisconsin friend that wanted some help locating some.
I have similar drink preferences to you. I liked Ames Lager fine enough, but it certainly didn't have me constantly checking stores after the 2 sixers I initially got ran out.I feel like it basically is a light beer but I usually only drink IPA or stronger beers so I might be a bad person to ask.
Right, if it’s on the shelf you’d buy it but not gonna drive around looking for it.I have similar drink preferences to you. I liked Ames Lager fine enough, but it certainly didn't have me constantly checking stores after the 2 sixers I initially got ran out.
