    So, trading for beer is allowed, but proxying is not? I suppose I'm a bit unclear on the differences between the two, apart from a purely semantical one. No exchange of money is taking place and you are simply trading beer for beer.

    Sounds like you've grasped the rules that were posted, thanks.

    Yes, I see it in the rules. My question is why? What is the difference, other than saying "no proxies" with absolutely no discourse or discussion. You can say anything in the rules and simply refer to them as unquestionable, which defeats the purpose of a forum.

    Sorry the owners didn't check with you first. I can't answer why.

    Same batch size as Frampaars and White Lodge. ~1,000 bottles minus "QC bottles".

    Cutting max allocation in half seemed to help the locals. WI buyers account for 50%, up from 40%.

    Abre Qui Donne is sitting on the shelf in Madison and Chicago, for less than what they were selling for online so it shouldn't be hard to find someone to hook you up.

    We wanted to take a minute to explain upcoming bottle releases of our sour beers. Now that our barrel farm has started to mature, you will see many American sour beers released periodically. Some will be brewery only, some will go into limited distribution. We have adjusted our cost to distributors to better align the price on the store shelf to the price at the brewery. Please be patient as we tweak this process.

    January 29th release- 3pm at O'so Taphouse

    "Blood of the Cherry" is a brewery only release and will not hit distribution.

    "Door Kriek" O'so/Funk Factory collaboration is a brewery only release and will not hit distribution.

    "Scarlet Letter" may hit distribution statewide but will be very limited.

    Tickets for these beers can be purchased at the Brown Paper Ticket link below.

    There will be a very very limited amount of "Blood of the Cherry" and "Scarlet Letter" available the day of the party for cash sales for the farmer down the road who never heard of Brown Paper Ticket and doesn't have the internet (yes, this is a real thing)

    Please bare with us as we learn the art of getting limited products to a complex market. Have fun folks....it's just beer.

    Geez, thanks a lot to a particular notorious reviewer for increasing the interest in Funk Factory beer a hundred-fold over the last month or so. Levi should pay him a commission for the publicity.

    Based on one of the bottles he reviewed, I'm pretty sure they were sent to him by Levi.
