    I don't have a link - there ain't one ;-). But I've heard it from the source. Close friend with BEK says they closed the deal yesterday. Says they're hoping for April. Great news.

    Lol, I was coming on here to post the same thing. I just heard the same thing from a "reliable" source but wanted to make sure it was "public" info before I posted anything. No idea what they will carry though. Any Founders will be good Founders, I never dreamed of the day I would be able to get FBS at my local store. F yeah! I'm not getting my hopes up but it would be badass to see the Blackwater series here as well or KBS or Backwoods Bastard.

    I wonder if we know the same people. He told me yesterday to stay silent until public...and then just texted me to say his boss gave him the okay to speak about it.

    Blackwater is Southern Tier.

    KBS we will just miss it looks like. :slight_frown: It's one of my favorite beers and easily top 2 of my barrel aged stouts.

    This, this, and extra this!

    They need to get off the 1981 assumption that Dallas is the only city in this state.

    It's not even the largest city in this state...

    Shit, you're absolutely right. Don't know what I was thinking, f'in amateur mistake. Thanks for the correction. Meant Backstage but I'll take some sweet ass Creme Brulee and Pumpking as well.

    I'm gonna be really annoyed if this is Dallas-only though. I'm willing to give some to Houston as long as this makes its' way to Austin :wink:

    For now... grains of salt. Although completely believable.

    Now if only Bell's would make their way out here... I'll have everything I could've possibly wanted living on the East Coast (minus Yuengling, which I can live without). Bell's Amber, baby.

    Well, rumors keep surfacing that we'll get ST as well too, so I'll give you a pass. I'll take Backstage over Blackwater, but don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to get both. :wink:

    I don't think Southern Tier is a rumor. I've heard that numerous times over the past month or two. April. Like, from more than one bottle shop owner and I wasn't even asking.

    My head may explode in April...

    And if Austin gets shut out, I'll help you mule some brews!

    Wow, amazing news. With that said I'm going to Missouri next week, if I'm not mistaken they have Founders, Bells and Firestone-Walker, might be worth picking up a few, I have a business trip planned for April going to Indiana, I'll need to get some 3 Floyds

    Founders, Bells and FW are all up there. But with FW in TX this month (or next), no real point in grabbing them.

    The selection was fairly decent in the beer store I hit up in south KC. Stillwater had some good bottles there.
