    Throw some in a Tupperware for me and ship it to me same day. It's only a 100 or so miles, should be fine.

    Is Tupperware the new renegade growler? I am so out of touch with the times! Back in my day we used a bucket.

    Damn. Thanks for the update. I did have a nice win today. Found some Rubaeus. Consolation prize.

    Bottled, or on tap? I had it on tap not too long ago, I think it's an excellent replacement for Cherise.

    bottles. Had a full case out here in the country. I took half of it. Didn't want to be "that guy" that took it all.

    This was online last night? Is the PRIDE event not at the brewery?

    I'm thinking maybe they will have it on tap today? And the official 'event' is down at Arcadia Park not at the brewery itself.

    Many labels get approved, but the beer is never bottled. As stated above, I have talked with Laura Bell about this, and she stated that there is no intention of releasing Rasp Wild One in the future. However, if they did decided to do this, the label is approved just in case. Read that however you like.

    Was at Savor last night, and the Raspberry Wild One was being poured out of labeled bottles. May be just for this event, but it is definitely in bottles.

    Same thing at FoBAB last year. If only they'd just release some...I'd relish the opportunity to fight my way through the BSS (Bell's Secret Society) cloister of trials.

    Pride Fest is not a Bell's event, it is one of the many festivals that occurs downtown Kalamazoo every summer. The beer was brewed for the event, not overly surprising it is not on tap at the brewery. Arcadia Festival Place is just down the street, not a far walk for someone who really wants to try the beer.

    Events are probably going to be the only place you see bottles at this point. May change with future batches but many people at Bell's have said we are not going to see any bottles hitting the General Store.

    Were the Raspberry Wild One bottles labeled at FoBAB? I thought they were unlabled C&C bottles.
