    I am trying to set up a trade for Pig Porter as I have been curious about that beer for a while. It looks like it has gone into distro in previous years but may be brewery only this year. Anybody have any information on that?

    IIRC it will be canned and hit distro early next year, but my memory is really fuzzy. I do know that they had to source a different breed of pig so it won't be called Mangalitsa anymore.

    Not only did it go into distribution, it sat on shelves for quite a while. Consider emailing the brewery.

    The other element in this is that the trade scene is not what it was years ago. I think a lot of people on BA struggle to make smaller trades like this one.

    It has gone into distribution in the past but they just canned it and released it at the brewery a couple of weeks ago. I don't think the current release has gone into distribution based on the comments on their Twitter feed.

    With respect to trading, I hear you. Whenever I am looking for something specific, I am always willing to expand the trade, either for locals or rarities. I suspect that a lot of the trades that get posted never get filled these days.

    From the brewery's November newsletter:

    PIG PORTER IS BACK!
    The Pig Porter Release Party + Pig Roast was a mighty fine time! Stay tuned via Right Brain Brewery.com and Facebook for upcoming limited releases & special events.

    PIG PORTER 4-pack, 16 oz cans are available, only in the pub, while supplies last (and it's best to heed the sage advice of Axel Rose, especially this month).

    For the uninitiated, Right Brain Brewery's famous Pig Porter is a rich, chocolatey porter brewed with cold-smoked pig bones. The result is smoky, velvety, and unforgettable. The Mangalitsa version was a Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal winner for Right Brain Brewery!
