    Ahh, it is written a bit unclear. The growlers were from GGuys in PDX. Parental mule action since they were going through. Lol

    haha, damn. Never seen either over here (I'm in Spokane), but I am hoping the Boneyard expansion will change that.

    Baker City is pretty small, but if you enjoy outdoor recreational activities, NE Oregon is pretty swell. As for the Pub, the pub/restaurant is nice, with decent food and something like 8 beers on tap. Their new taphouse next door is awesome...22 different beers on tap, and 21 of them are BB's beer. It's quite spectacular.

    I enjoyed the story. Hit me up if you visit, I'd buy you a pint.

    It's strange. BB appeared excited about entering WA this summer, but all I ever saw were (very) random kegs of Shredder's Wheat in Tacoma and Seattle, and some Pallet Jack at Brouwers. We were lucky enough to get Hop Truck Crossing and Tank Slapper at Hopfest, and I heard another keg of PJ was on at Brouwers last week, but it's been very slim pickings. If they can't support WA at the moment, then why did they enter the state?

    I prefer occasional kegs to no kegs.

    I do too, it just seems like expanding to WA really didn't work as planned.

    This makes my first post ever on here, nbd. I promise to have BB on tap at Brews Taphouse (tricities WA) very very soon. Being right here on the OR/WA border BB has generated alot of buzz. After a recent trip to Bend and a successful purchase of a handful of kegs from Crux (which apparently got distribution in my area a week after my trip....but still havent seen any kegs pop up in inventory) we are excited to get BB up on tap asap.

    Thank you for the kind words! I've been in the brewery business for 17 years, and it's still awesome to be sitting at a bar and hear the guy next to me order a Barley Brown's beer, even better when it's at Belmont Station, the first place to put our beer on tap in Portland.

    I apologize for the limited supply in Washington. I made a commitment to our distributors in Oregon that we would supply them with an adequate amount of kegs before expanding to other markets. We underestimated Oregon's thirst! More JVNW tanks are being built and our friends at Boneyard hooked us up with some hops, so hopefully we can start sending out some more beer.

    Nahhh.... forget those knuckleheads up in Washington. They wouldn't know a good IPA/DIPA if it dropped on their head.

    Am sitting here watching Sunday night football (and could care less about either team), drinking a grumbler of pallet jack, after sipping a deliciousness glass of Forklift DIPA over at Bier Stein. Am more than happy with the current distribution arrangment you have going... you don't need to change a thing! :-)

    Bend's always thirsty for more. Allocation again?

    Allocation II is in the plans. Next batch will be brewed at Boneyard, hopefully sometime soon.

    Every time I read this thread title I get this song stuck in my head:



    The only thing that could be more awesome would be having a steady supply of Pallet Jack in my fridge. Pretty please Tyler, er... @TankSlapper ???

    I'm sure Oregon could drink all the tank slapper with ease....

    Lots of Pallet Jack showing up around Seattle this week. Looks like I need to post about the lack more often...
