    Looks like Pallet Jack hit PDX today. Beermongers has it.

    So NWIPA and the Shelton brothers social media accounts posted a picture of The Alchemist logo and said it's coming soon... I'd love to revisit Focal Banger!

    I know California recently received a sizeable drop of Alchemist stuff, and it made me wonder if we might eventually see something similar here. I had not realized that Shelton was handling distribution. That gives me a bad feeling about the price we're going to see for 4 packs of Focal Banger and Heady.

    Well, even a 50%markup would have them priced close to what some Modern Times and Great Notion IPAs go for here...

    Good point. And imho, their IPA's are better than anything made by grape lotion or MT.

    Finally get to share some pretty big Breakside news that I've been holding onto. You can read it all here:

    https://www.newschoolbeer.com/2020/...a-what-rough-beast-all-coming-to-6-packs.html

    TL;DR - IPA, Wanderlust, and What Rough Beast are coming to six packs next month! Keep an eye out for a new limited run of double dry hopped IPA in cans; our collab with Barely Browns called Wanderjack; the return of Cultivating Mass, with two special variants; the newest Sour Series release Queen of the Rodeo will be available in a week or two; brandy BA Chocolate Milk Stout should be out next month as well.

    On a personal note, thanks to everyone who keeps supporting us these days. We're surviving thanks to you, and I still have the job I love in these trying times. Please keep buying if you can, and tip your bartender.

    Wanderjack sounds amazing and I'll definitely pick up a sixer or two of Beast.

    Great news on so many levels, thanks for the heads up @afrokaze!

    Will any regular Cultivating Mass be packaged, or only the 2 variants?

    Ugh, Ale Apothecary just had to lay off their staff too. I really hope they can pull through this because that brewery shutting down would be a tremendous loss to the scene. Good luck to all their employees out there.
