    Having a NoDa Hop Drop and Roll IPA on this hot day, which my son-in-law brought to Pittsburgh on the plane from North Carolina. A favorite.

    WHERE THE HELL CAN I GET SOME DFH PUDDIN’ WINE? Or BA FruitFull Fort? Or BA Palo Santo Marron?!
    1. mpruden

      I appreciate your frustration! I understand Palo Santo Marron has, sadly, been retired (I’m still hoarding one remaining bottle in my cellar); that may be true of the other DFH brews you mentioned, as well. Kind of a drag what happens to great craft breweries when they get sold to bigger fish.
