GOOD call in general. DC only allows 1 Gallon to be brought across the district line. I'm flying into Virginia though which allows 15 gallons across the line. So I could split it up into a bunch of growlers and give it to a number of people take across the line then pour it back into the keg, and pressurize!

It's going to be an American Pale indeed! Brew day is this weekend regardless, and perhaps a cider as well. Prost!
