I'm not sure I understand why? She went to visit family, smuggled some beers home that we can't get here. If it is amusing to you, cool. I just don't see how?
Because it is brewed in MI, and I think it's amusing that someone had to go to CA to find some. Crazy! But again, I totally get it. Furthermore there is a personal note of amusement, since I used to live with in 10 miles of the brewery but recently moved to CA, and I have yet to find a place to buy it!
Anyway, cheers on your score! You have a thoughtful wife.
