We used to do the same in E.WA, the Friday afternoon Lewiston run for Banquet, back when we couldn’t get non-union beer...I used to run into Evanston, WY, to buy up all the Coors Extra Gold in the town and bootleg it back across the Utah state line. Evanston is in the ass hole of WY and was a choo choo town originally on the UP (hi @swaye ) but now thrives on selling full cheap liquor, fireworks and porn to the Mormons.

Our lake place growing up was next to the Coors distributor out of Lewiston. He'd roll in on Friday nights with a pickup truck full of the stuff.
Once in a while he'd send a whole beer truck up. Fucking amazing. Getting drunk at age 12 is awesome.
There’s just a mystique about Banquet beer that is without peer.
