    It's gone from "eventually" to any day now, I guess? :wink:

    This did kind of come out of nowhere. I can't even fathom how much untapped production capability that GF had, to be able to get even a fraction of the Alpine line up to ship to out of state distribution. I was just back in LA County a month ago and they were still bitching about availability (also mentioning that bottles had essentially come to a halt after only being rarely available to begin with. There has to be a story behind this planned launch in markets like the Twin Cities.

    So I see for the Wednesday one at smack shack it says it's from 4-7, do you think it will literally stop at 7? It's my impression that it's kegs that start at 4 and go til they're empty

    The Green Flash rep at the Happy Gnome said not to expect more taps until fall, and no bottles until 2016. :slight_frown:

    Huh. Let's have a launch even for a beer that won't be back for 4 months and won't be in stores for 8+ months

    Toppling Goliath must be in charge of their hype department.

    So not a single post on what was served at Happy Gnome? Unsatisfying?
