Walter_Burt Posted November 30, 2001 Posted November 30, 2001 Hey guys, taking a keg across the border is kind of tricky and may require a sympathetic border guard. We took a keg of Bridgeport IPA up to Valhalla Lodge last winter for a week of face shots and beer. We declared it; our pitch to customs was that we were dividing the volume between 6 of us. A surly guard took the hard line and made us pay duty because (1) a container (said keg) can only be in one persons name (me), which put me over my alcohol limit, and (2) you aren't allowed to bring a keg across the border into Canada anyway. All the other guards appeared to want to less us skate on out, but she wouldn't budge much. She did let us across with it since we were so far from Portland, had a big deposit on the keg and had a helicopter to catch. So, the choices are to (1) don't declare it and hope they don't search you, (2) bring it in bottles, (3) strap it behind the cab of a truck, stick a hose and a gas regulator on it and tell them you're driving a propane-powered truck. Play greenie. That said, the beer was worth the hassle and the hut custodians were green with envy when we tapped the keg the first sunny afternoon after a 5,000+' day. Good Luck Quote
Dru Posted November 30, 2001 Posted November 30, 2001 ...or bring 2 kegs and give one to the border guards. ...or (KEEP THIS SECRET ) go to the Nighthawk -Keremeos crossing at about 3 AM when the 1 guard is off duty and you can cross without even stopping! SHHHHH don't let the drug smugglers and terrorists know about that one.... Quote
