    River City Distributing has confirmed that Bear Republic Brewing is returning to Wisconsin this week. Products that will be on shelves will include Racer 5 IPA, Red Rocket Ale, Hop Rod Rye, Peter Brown's Tribute Brown Ale, Big Bear Stout, and two new beers - Grand Am Pale Ale and Mach 10 IIPA.

    This is great news for those of us in the Badger State!

    Did you ever find it less than 3 months old?

    Lol I'd be able to get fresh bottles like every two months or so however the oldest ipas I've ever seen on a shelf in WI were racer 5 and gubna both where almost 2 years old! I mostly drank it on tap which was significantly better than the bottles even when fresh imo I'm looking forward to that the most.

    People will be excited about this for about 2 weeks. Then it'll collect dust.

    Yes. Skipped posting about this a couple of times because I just felt cynical, but it's hard to get excited about more xPAs and bomber stouts. I love big stouts, but Big Bear isn't better than all the other bomber stouts sitting in coolers here.

    I'll buy some Hop Rod Rye. Always liked that one.

    I do believe they put that one in six packs just after they withdrew from Wisconsin.

    Only saw it in bombers in Colorado when I was out there last year, but I guess that doesn't rule out 4 or 6 packs too, like Old Raspy.
