    I might be slow on the uptake here but I started noticing that Prairie is going to smaller bottle formats. (500ml vs. 750) What I was wondering, is this going to also reflect a price change as well? Any word on what that price change might be? Thanks! Great beers by the way. Just had a Noir and it was fantastically rich. So far Prairie Ale is my fav.

    The 500ml bottles I've seen in Texas have been priced about the same as what I saw 750ml bottles were priced in Oklahoma. I believe the markup might have to do with distribution though, since our 12oz bottles of Prairie Noir and Bomb were more expensive than the same 12oz bottles in Oklahoma.

    It'll be interesting to see if the prices for 500ml bottles of Prairie Ale, Hop, Merica, and Funky Galaxy go down compared to the 750ml bottles sold in Texas last year.

    Looking like this is dropping tomorrow for us in OK. It's going to be in 4 packs and will replace standard. I'm sure it'll see the same distro that standard did.

    Ya, I hope standard is brought back in the future.

    That is exactly what I was wondering. I really really hope the price does not stay the same for the smaller bottles. That is one thing that has kept me from trying Somewhere. It is a tad pricey for the 500ml size. Any word on how it is?

    It's delicious. If you like sour beers, you'll love it.

    Everything sold to Texas is intended to cost $1 more due to shipping and distribution and overall, TX retailers take a high mark than OK retailers do.

    And that's understandable. What are the prices in OK. for the 500ml of, say, Merica? Appreciate the feedback!

    What's the reason for Birra replacing Standard?

    I wanted to move towards a truer farmhouse beer. I felt like Standard was too hoppy and wanted something more yeast focused and rustic. I also wanted a lower ABV beer and didn't think there was room for both beers.

    Looking forward to Birra, but will miss Standard. Glad I just stocked up.

    Finally got to try F5 in canned form! Enjoyed seeing all that canned stuff from RoughTail as well.

    In Broken Arrow today, visiting family.
    Where should I shop? I normally go to Biergarten, but last time I was here they were sold out of a lot.

    For what it's worth there was Prairie Noir & Vanilla Bean at Ranch Acres yesterday.

    Loving this Polar Night Stout. Did anyone else get floaties from the bottom of the can? That's really the only fault I could associate with a beer that will be in my rotation from now on...
