- motohagiography 6y agoValuable data point. This idea of a premium green service is the key, and beer/distileries were the examples of local products, but if there were dry goods, that would make it. Also, we can solve the preservative issue with refrigeration if it's worth it. Again, there's no ceiling on what people will pay for a luxury item that is green/local/craft etc, and we could figure out what's involved in making kegs/cans survive a great lakes transfer and price it in.
