We might do some crawling around "The Attic" to find something to help the inevitable sad faces. 

Smile... it's just beer.

News:

We are going digital! Big news on the horizon for all of you who follow this Blog and have "SmartPhones"!

We received New Belgium's Lips of Faith on Monday. Official release news will be posted on Thursday.

2013 La Folie, Transatlantique Kriek, and  Cascara Quad in 22oz are on the shelf now! We are still waiting on the Triple. Also received Renegade 5:00 O'Clock Afternoon Ale in four-pack 16oz cans late last Friday. 

 Pliny came and went in less than 10 minutes after having almost 20 people in line at 2:00 p.m. Thank you to everyone who came out and for being polite! We'll be waiting another 4-6 weeks to get more in it appears. 

The next Dogfish Head truck is on its way and just might contain 120 Minute IPA and "a ton of 75 Minute IPA". Look for these in another week or two.

 Stone rumors to have the next batch of EnjoyBy coming our way. Of course it will be EnjoyBy 04/20/2013. Stoners rejoice. Also in the coming weeks we will see Old Guardian and in limited quantities the Odd Year variants. Also a small rumor of Ruination 10th Anniversary making another appearance.

 More rumors always floating around. 

Find out the truth when they actually show up.
