I asked about ordering it, but they insisted it was seasonal. They said fall. They had to even think about it for awhile. So it appears I'm stalled out on new beers, unless I travel out of town.
I went to another liqour store Monday for Fat Tire. They didn't have it in the coolers, but the lady gave me a key for the storage coolers outside, and told me there might be some in those. So I went and searched around the outdoor storage, and found 2 six packs.
So weird. Just goes to show you the mentality of everyone around this area. I can get any of the mass produced stuff fast. I don't understand why good beer is not popular. Is it the cost, or what? Even people I know with crazy money, ex bosses, business owners, the community parties, always have bud light, coors light, etc..
I may be wrong, but I think the big beer companies pretty much own the distributors and they prety much make sure the beer isles are full of their products. That's why you'll see 20 differnt variations of Bud. It fills more shelves. I know the breweries here deliver their own stuff to beer stores.
This is what I learned at least from reading online and from watching Beer Wars.
