    According to MLive, Perrin will start sending out six packs of Grapefruit IPA and Veterans Pale Ale in late August-early September with more beers to follow. However, it should be noted that initial distribution is limited to Kent, Barry, Montcalm, and Ionia counties.

    Me too. Although I'm probably the only ba who can claim they live in Ionia County. :confused:

    I was thrilled to see they would can 98 Problems IPA. I visited Perrin's last week and thought 98 Problems was way better than Grapefruit IPA.

    And for what's it worth, I dig those crowlers. They're perfect for me. It's rare that I can kill a growler in a short period of time. I either have to drink more than I want or I save some beer for a day or two and it loses carbonation. 32 ounces is just right.

    As a fellow Ionia County resident here (there's at least two of us), I was pumped to see us included. Not really sure where we will really see these cans, though. Hopefully Meijer gets them, at the very least.

    I can't believe they call Grapefruit IPA an IPA....

    I see Perrin's is releasing a session IPA that will be canned starting January 18. I'm looking forward to doing a head to head with All Day.

    Now that I stop to think about it, I'm surprised there aren't more players trying to grab a piece of the session IPA market. They're leaving a lot of money on the table. Founders has been laughing all the way to the bank the last two years with All Day.

    Appears there are more of us from Ionia County than we could have ever imagined...

    I think just about everyone has put one out at some time. Founders is killing it in that segment with cans in 15 packs at a decent price point.

    I tried a taster of No Problems on tap the other day. I'd say it was good for the style but maybe not as dialed in as All Day.
