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.

Update: Jan. 22, 2013

News/Notes:

 Sorry that I did not do an update last week. There really wasn't much to tell ya. We do have a New Beer list  that I will post this week. It includes the couple of things we received last week. Although it probably will not include Dry Dock CANS. They will be delivered to us on Friday! Hop Abomination IPA , HMS Victory Amber Ale, Apricot Blonde Ale, and Hefeweizen six-pack cans go on sale Friday Jan. 25. We will have plenty of all of them.

 We are all still waiting on the Barleywines. Bigfoot should be here anytime and I got word that Old Guardian and the Odd Year Oaked/Barrel version will be here asap. I also had to put in numbers for pre-ordering Stone #EnjoyBy IPA again. This should be a March batch. Hopefully we see more of this in #CO than we did last go round. We are waiting on some other cool beers too. No-Li Imperial Stout, Clown Shoes has been rumored to enter CO this year. Bell's of course is still on the rumor list for CO distribution.

 What we don't have. Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA and World Wide Stout are lost once again. I don't know when it will be back. Unfortunately Timmerman's Oude Gueuze's sour punch is lost as well. Look for it's return later this Spring. Lukas and Great Divide finally ran out of Hades, Raspberry Ale and Samurai six-packs, which have been discontinued from the line-up. Please feel free to check out our website which now has a list of what we carry. It is not a list of current inventory so please don't call about the whales.
