    Outside of Munich, its the best one I've had. While the import version is pretty nice, its a shadow of the version you can enjoy fresh at the Braustuberl.

    Still no Alpenflo in PA. If available it would have arrived at my distributor yesterday and Sixpoint's beer finder shows no Alpenflo anywhere in SEPA.

    I may have been wrong... this could be a 2nd world problem. I wonder if I can move to Delaware before Alpenflo arrives in Pennsylvania. :thinking_face:

    Don't feel bad, it's barely in NY at least for off-premise sales. Maybe we'll get the next batch.

    If nothing else, you can probably drive there and back to get some Alpenflo -- just keep to the speed limit and stick to the back roads. :wink:

    I'll steer clear of Checkpoint Charlie.

    Checkpoint Charlie governs the Delaware River.

    But Toll Booth Willie governs the crossing in New England.


    I'm actually on the phone with the Sales Manager of our wholesaler right now, I have personally let him know that Mr. @ecpho is extremely frustrated by this (I don't know your first name). If you'd like, we have fresh cans down at the brewery and you are welcome to stop by anytime on Saturday...we'll reserve some for you.

    Have been watching for this in Texas but no luck so far in the DFW area.

    Got it, tried it, liked it. No, that's not correct, I really liked it.

    Or @Squire lives near Alabama and smuggled it across the state line. :wink:

    I picked up my third 12pk of this stuff today. Apparently I really like this beer :smiley:

    We're going to have to send some more to Ohio.

    Just did a scan for Alpenflo on the Sixpoint mobile app. It looks like Whole Foods has activated the SKU in their network:

    What sort of volume is this beer going to see? The same as your other year round beers or will just a little be sent out but on regular occasions?

    We want to supply the market as a year-round beer without flooding the market. We like the idea of seeing this organically grow but we still need a little more time to look and see how our distributors and retailers are performing with the 12packs.
