    Anyone know what's up with Igor Unchained? I see that it's $17.99 on K&L, which puts it in barrel-aged pricing, but I haven't found anything that states that it is, in fact, barrel aged.

    It's not. I bought 6 and nothing states its ba. They are tho barrel aging it in rum barrels that's expected to release near end of this year.

    Latest JO canning is going on. Again, good news. But it's time to add another dimension to the cans. JO is Outstanding out of the can. Add either River Buddy or Long Swim to the line-up. Class V out of the cans in a 6pk? Spot on.
    The latest IG KRBC page shows them canning JO. Is this machine in their new expanded building? It looks freaking huge.

    PLEASE on all three! And then get them up to Sac. Haven't seen any KRBC cans yet, and only found Long Swim bottles in the City.

    Yes, all bottling and canning is out of the new system. Everyone up here is asking for more beers to be canned also, especially River Buddy. Hopefully Eric will disregard what Stoen Distribution said and go ahead and can it,

    OK guys, I am getting the message. Canning is whole different beast though; in particular can minimums make it impossible for someone our size to throw a bunch of stuff in the line-up. We are looking at shrink wrapped cans that may help with that, but they are significantly more expensive. Will keep you posted...

    Any canning of JO going on lately? I haven't seen any IG post that they were canning the month of May. Maybe they are getting ready for their anniversary party weekend?

    For anyone in the Bay Area, Cask n Flask in San Jose has cans of OJ and bottles of Long Swim.

    Please forgive me if this has been brought up in this forum, or if this is a stupid question, but has anyone noted that there is yeast sediment in the cans of Just Outstanding? Is 'can conditioning' a thing? I poured half my can of JO into a glass, and it was perfectly clear. Poured the remainder of the can later and it was very cloudy. My cans were packaged on 5/16/17.

    What's this new collab that Kern/Mason/EagleCreek all about? First time seeing it in cans. Also looks like new bottles of Hop Nookie and Shuttle Bunny is out.

    While it's great to be seeing KRBC beers so widely distributed now, why will they not date their beers? Absolutely one of my favorite breweries, but outside of Class V, I will no longer buy their beers until they can date the bottles/cans. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way.

    PLEASE DATE YOUR GOODS KRBC!

    They do. On the box that it comes in. Or on top of the 6pk cans.

    none of the cans in my area are dated. And there's no point in dating a box of bottles when the consumer can't see the box.

    I picked up a pack of River Buddy cans a few weeks back. They were dated and delicious.
