    I have my doubts that much draft will make it up. We just aren't geared to produce much, and bottles are typically much better. Plus side is that the bottles will be very reasonably priced.

    Oh hey, looks like Washington might get some good beer now?

    Shall we start another haiku thread?

    Dear DeGarde, Washington love you long time!!!!! Thanks for this news.

    I have no ideas what your plans and goals are, but, if I may, Bellingham really wants some of your beer. We have a "specialty beer store" in town, but their pricing ethos seems very different from yours. That said, the local food coop carries a very nice selection at fair market prices, and at least two bars in town carry bottles at similar pricing (ie: no real on-premise penalty). I would be happy to put you in touch with the people who make those buys, if you would like.

    Again, thank you so much, I'm so looking forward to not being at the complete mercy of others to have some of your beers!

    Sincerely, Bellingham Beer Lovers.

    John, if anything, I'm behind on the scale. That said, a couple bottles each of the above mentioned sour reds, especially the cherry and raspberry, would likely net you a very nice return box. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

    More tasty beer at great prices in WA? Deal!
    Excited to get the chance to try some of your brews. My family gets down to the Oregon Coast every year but it's tough to hit the brewery with kiddos.

    On this note, I cracked open a Petit last night and it was fantastic! Lively carbonation, and the Tillafunk was hitting just right. Time to go re-up before they're gone.

    Great news, but I love the coast and the brewery, so I will continue to make the trip. You can't keep me out of Tillamook!

    Nice.
    We didn't actually send up too much (2000 each?), and it'll likely be 9 months until there's more. If you dig, dig fast. :slight_smile:

    At the above mentioned prices, or paying the penalty for shopping at the "specialty beer store"? After paying $30 (+tax) for a 12oz Cantillion there (and then paying the same amount, over the bar, at The Copper Hog for a 750) I rarely shop there.
