    Are you looking for the beer camp, with all the collaborations? I am talking about the fall pack with the octoberfest, vienna lager, and tumbler. No collabs in the fall pack i believe. Friend in TX found the fall pack for me.
    Yeah, only reason i tasted all the beer camps, all on tap, was because i was in new england recently.

    Was this also referring to the Beer Camp series?

    Yes, sorry. I wasn't aware of the fall sampler and incorrectly assumed you were talking about beer camp.

    No worries, I just wanted to check. Tumbler was / is my wife's favorite beer; that's the only reason I want to hunt down the fall pack.

    Lagunitas A Little Something Extra is on tap at the Barley Oak in Mandeville, La. They are distributing kegs now, bottles to come later this year. I got the first beer once they tapped the keg, it was awesome!

    I drank one last week. It was ok, rather thin. Flavors were nice, but the earlier Bishop's Barrel stouts were better.

    In all fairness to distributors, Shreveport has got to be a really tiny craft market. New Orleans is already quite small, and I'm sure because of the demographics BMC reigns far supreme there.

    Yeah its here, I agree with @nophunk that BB7 is lacking in mouthfeel and could have really been better. Its a bit of a let down. With that said, my buddy got me a case and I've shared most of all of it with friends. I think I have about 6 left if anyone is interested. Cheers!

    Some stuff moves quickly and a lot of stuff just sits. I could have walked out of Brookshires with three bottles of 2013 Lolita and a bottle of 2013 Juliet but I kept it reasonable with the last bottle of Juliet and one bottle of Lolita. Bruery product moves pretty quickly but at one shipment every 90 days it's about the only thing people here seem willing to 'chase a truck' for. If I wasn't a Reserve Society member and sitting on so much product that I brought with me I'd probably pick up home brewing. Plus the Sierra Nevada distributor is a clown. They haven't released Summerfest and won't until they move all the Ruthless Rye.

    Ahhhh finally something North and South Louisiana have in common.. The Sierra distributor in BR is a joke. They should play clown music every time those fools roll into a grocery store after the Hoptimum fiasco last year.

    North La has never seen a Hoptimum on the shelf.

    Does this mean that I shouldn't hold my breath for Narwhal in the winter?

    in some ways it's nice because there isn't a lot of competition for the rare stuff but in other ways it sucks because there aren't enough of us to bring in the really good stuff with regularity.
