I'm seeing $31 as the cheapest shipping option. What gives?
Edit: Oh, if you add ANYTHING else to the order, it bumps the shipping price from $12 to $31 (to my zip).

If you do an Ale as opposed to a Lager, you don't have to worry about dropping the temperature as it works best in the 68-72deg range. FAR easier.
And I'll reinforce the "just say no to Mr. Beer"...
