    Tomorrow, Odell Friek is showing up. 2 cases at 1 store...Yay!

    The same store has 2 Utopias, 10th Anniversary. $235 a bottle. Wow.

    Goose Island is supposed to come to town in March.

    The owner of the same store is trying to get Full Sail Old Boarhead. Good luck with that. The distributors here are kind of scared of bringing bigger beers in here.

    Narwhal and Celebration are around at good prices. Plenty of Alaskan Baltic Porter, Odell The Meddler, Sierra Nevada Brux, Odell Deconstruction and Woodcut No. 6 on the shelves.

    Overall, things are going well in Casper. If you're traveling through/to the town, we have some good beers for you.:wink:

    I opened this up expecting to see "nothing," which post I would have given a like. I will begrudgingly like your actual post, I guess.

    Friek did show up...$15.75 a bottle at a "cheaper" store here. Damn I love that brew!

    I opened one a few months back and it was flat as can be. Zero carbonation. Hopefully it was just THAT bottle.

    I looked at some of the reviews of last year's....looks like an odd bottle.

    So I go to the shop and there is NO The Abyss!! It could be that Casper is getting shut out, like in 2008.:slight_frown:

    Eureka! I went to the Liquor Shed and scored 3 bottles of The Abyss...$12.35 a bottle! Yeah.

    I also picked up from there a Growler of Lander Brewing Rock Chuck Rye and found out that there's a beerfest on Jan 19th next door to the Liquor Shed. I'll.be.there.

    New for today....the first Goose Island beers have shown up in town. Urban 312 Wheat and Honkers Ale on draught at Galloway's Irish Pub. The Honkers is something I can drink a lot of!:slight_smile:

    2 new beers in town that I noticed, Alaskan Imperial Red from their Pilot series, and Full Sail Old Boarhead.

    We have a beerfest on Jan 19th! 12 breweries and brewers so far. Tickets go on sale next week for 2 sessions: VIP-get to drink some special and rare releases, and general session. The VIP starts at 2PM. I'll post more details as I get them; just in case any of you are in my neck of the woods on the 19th. :rolling_eyes:

    Okay, I bought my ticket today, a little steep..$50.

    Also, The Liquor Shed is setting up a Growler station and will start pouring in the new year!

    What, I thought we could only fill growlers of beer at brewpubs in the state. Strange.

    Also, damn, that is very steep.

    The previous owner of TLS did it back in the 90s so I hope it doesn't go away again.

    Goose Island will be there and since the VIP session is all about limited releases, I'm hoping they bring some...top of my list..Bourbon County.

    Here's the list of breweries attending:

    Alaskan, Goose Island, Boulder, Breckenridge, Odell, Oskar Blues, Grand Teton, and from WY: Altitude, Blacktooth, Clear Creek, Lander, Snake River, and Wind River. Big Sky from MT bugged out. I wonder what limited release beers some of them can bring?

    Interesting. Perhaps some new legislation passed to allow this now?
