    Bells isn't in MO? When did that happen? I swore I just saw Third Coast Old Ale today?

    It's in the order of Gustav Holst's suite, The Planets.

    That was the first thing I thought - Uranus would be an imperial stout. Instead a "black double IPA".

    My high school band played Jupiter as a field show one season. Killer. Seriously fucking killer.

    I'm sure that B. Nektar will find out about this and release something along those lines.

    Yeah, I know that some stores still have stuff on shelves--for example, Mike's in Waldo still has a ton of Bell's stuff. But from what I've heard from two different industry people (John from Bier Station and one of the guys at Mike's), there is no *new* Bell's coming to the market right now.

    It has something to do with the distributor that carries Bell's and at least one person I've talked to believes it's a temporary issue, but it does suck. I was looking forward to seeing cans of Two Hearted...

    Oh no, they used the same stock font 6 years apart? Better call up the lawyers! BTW, Midnight Sun's planet beer series didn't even follow Holst's compositions. Try reading the whole article next time.

    A couple stores around St. Louis (The Wine and Cheese Place and Lukas Liquor) just posted that they got in a bunch of Bell's today. No cans yet, but Two Hearted bottled June 2 and Oberon bottled May 29 :slight_smile: Can't wait to see the cans, though..

    Hmmmm, I wonder if it's just the KC distributor for Bells then. I haven't seen either of our Lukas Liquors get new Bells in awhile.

    I am excited for every single one of these, especially Mars. Might have to have some Gustav Holst playing as I quaff each and every one of these.

    I'll be trying all of these, hopefully. Especially a 6 pack of BBA Barleywine.

    I am definitely a little hesitant about the prospect of rating the mouthfeel of Uranus.

    You may not be able to help yourself, if the aroma is to your liking. :grimacing:
