I wonder if there is any way to request some from our local costco, its a very good brew that isnt available anywhere near FL.

That is cool! It's actually kinda tough to find around here. I might just be unlucky though.

I happen to like Pike's Kiltlifter. I have some bottles in the fridge; although, I didn't get mine from Costco.

WOW. Talk about cultural misunderstanding!

I have definitely learned something today. Although, I do intend to give this beer a taste when/if ever I run across it.

I've been repeating the Kiltlifter issue during Burns Day hilarity here at work. It turns out we have a Campbell and a MacDonald (unsuspected maiden name) seated across from each other (!) but they both joined in laughter at the story- the British sense of the term was completely unsuspected.
