    I heard a filthy rumor about Live Oak bottles a while back...didn't buy it at the time considering their facilities. Would be nice to be able to throw up a FT: Live Oak Hefe bottles...pretty sure a lot of Texans have been dreaming about this for a long time.

    Nope. Saw the pic on their Facebook. False alarm, they are samples for their sales people filled by hand.

    Move along. Nothing to see here.

    Yeah, my brother in law bumped into the Live Oak guys when he was delivering kegs to The Draught House and they had the bottles with them. They just use those as samples for places. Nothing to get excited about!

    BTW: ISO hand filled/labeled Live Oak Hefe bottles.

    I'd totally be all like "oh, let me save 6 to try later, prospective brewery. What was your brewery called again?"

    Walez, bro.

    Because your dreams are frought by the deceit of hippies and the sadness of draft-only distribution.

    Man those are some mighty fancy caps for sample bottles. Hopefully a sign of good things to come.

    I have a bottle of LO Roggenbier that's been in my fridge for a few months (they don't label 'em btw).

    So, let's deal :grinning:

    This would work only if I didn't live in Austin. :slight_smile:

    32oz flip tops trade well, btw.

    Looks like they've been getting hit with questions.

    Dear Avid Ferociously Inquisitive LIve Oak Facebook Fans: Believe me, I totally understand how you might be thinking that we are suddenly (very suddenly - overnight it would seem) available to the public in bottles, especially after seeing what appear to be bottles in a couple of photos posted here. Well, guess what? We are NOT AVAILABLE in bottles! But, you say, I saw bottles. Well, yes you did, but read the fine print above - "available to the public." These are bottles we painstakingly fill, one at a time by hand, in order to be able to make samples of our beers available to bars, restaurants, etc. interested in putting us ON TAP in their establishment. That is all. Now, please stop spreading rumors that we're available in bottles... Thank you. btw, we do have plans to put our beers in containers other than kegs in the not-too-distant future... more on that as things develop.

    The Deep Ellum guys are working on a mobile canning truck, so that is very possible.

    Mobile... canning... truck?

    That sounds promising. Must be one huge-ass truck though. :slight_smile:
