Happenings in Casper

Thanks for always keeping us updated Bill!

 

Lists? How so? Like taking advice from customers on what they want to see? Or like for when things come out? For the former, I'm really limited by the bud distributor (which is trying to get more micros but let's be honest they only care about their AB shit), the other in town one (they carry most of the micros but the selection I have available to me is very lackluster). Teton just sucks at keeping stock of almost everything. So I usually don't try. Our rep is very good at trying it is just their higher ups are very incompetent.

For the latter, the market around here for that kind of stuff isn't big enough. So we don't do any special releases or anything. Hell Bourbon County lasted on the shelf for like 2 months.


The NB/Odell distributor hasn't done satisfactory work in my opinion so I went over their heads and talk to the reps directly about what I want.

 

I know it is VERY challenging to have to deal with this lack of craft market in the area. I do not blame you for not trying. I remember how long it took me to get the Verdi Imperial Stout and I had to talk to Matthias from B. United to get things rolling.

I guess that is why it is still hard to adjust to Wyoming life because I had access to some many great offerings in NJ and PA. Yeah, Bourbon County would not last a week or two, and forget about the variations! They would be gone almost immediately!

I still have not been to Denver which I really want to sometime soon! I already have the trip planned and got a personal invite from the writers of @ItalyBeerCountry so they gave me some suggestions....

I still believe you do a GREAT job considering you are the only one to really care any Italian, English, and Japanese craft. (from B. United no less) Little Goose carries the Hitachino but that is about it... The other store is like going into a morgue....

I know I am trying to have my craft up here at the lodges but it is really up to my aunt and uncle for that but they know I have knowledge and insight into trying something new...

I am trying my darnest to get down there for this. I still have more Wyoming breweries to get to know!!!

 

Hey Bill,

Cool! I know how you like those lower ABV brews. Enjoy!

Cheers!

 

Exactly!

Cheers!

 

Luminous Kolsch comes to mind as an AWESOME low abv with TONS of flavor! I actually home brewed yesterday with Clay, head brewer of Luminous and we made a cream ale and a first for him using corn flakes as an adjunct. I do have to say I believe it will be amazing as the clarity of the beer was WAY on point!

 

Yeah the list of imports arriving is insane and literally the BEST place in Wyoming for it! Though I do want to try some Italians I have not, man, the selection of Germans, Spanish and British beers is great!

 

Fuller's good stuff!

 

Actually same here because for the second level Cicerone I am going to "need" Germany and English beers for the course books! lol
