    So many words, but, as always, so many fine words, Mr Abbey.

    Look, we are just trying to release a beer. A beer. We are not trying to hype this....see the past 7 years for context and proof. Label production issues, trademark issues, Pride Release conflicts, etc have all led to a delay. Damn, it's not like we are trying to hype this, we are just sharing what it's like to run a brewery with our community here on the BA.

    Yes, we expanded into other states. It's not like we are cheating on our home crew. We are building the largest INDEPENDENT brewery in the state. Rusty is a small release for us, but still large by comparison in the country when you look at most other breweries. Shit. We don't want lines, we don't want hassles, we just want to release a cool beer. In our opinion. Yes, Oregon, Idaho, and a very small sliver of Colorado will get some but WA will get 4x more than any other state. That's not good business. That's loyalty.

    Anyway, thanks for the kind words and for the attention when so many more important events are happening in this crazy world. I hope you guys enjoy the beer. I hope it's not a shit show, but know that we are working to make Rusty available to regular people who don't wait in lines, etc

    True that. I just try to keep my beer drinking social commentary separate from my politics. But we all need a break from this crazy world once in a while. Beer Matters.

    Damn, I leave you kids unsupervised on the internet for a few hours, and look what happens. All y'all go sit in the corner and watch some Ironsides reruns!

    As a youngster, I always wanted to push his wheelchair over. Probably why I am so screwed up right now

    Is this some kind of trap to see who's actually old? 'Cause the name of the show was "Ironside." Singular, not plural.

    (Unless you're talking about an even older show about Cromwell or the USS Constitution.)

    I think it probably was...And with this comprehensive historical parsing, you, my friend, have been thoroughly ensnared. :wink:

    That's okay. I figured everybody already knew I was an old dude.

    Wait, why are you still on my lawn?

    Nothing wrong with being old, in my book. On the contrary, I often gravitate more towards your demographic than I do my own. How else am I to learn anything, and who better to learn from than someone who has the experience of having sailed on the Constitution, fought beside Cromwell, and possibly even lived during the Iron Age?

    Sorry about being on your lawn, but don't you remember I mow it every week, and have done so for many years? :wink:

    Any Idea when this release is going down.... Fathers day came and went. I thought for sure that it would have already been released? Limit 2?

    So Rusty Nail's not out yet then? OK, I guess I'll just get back to the Mariners/Cardinals game. Cheers!

    But that's the price of

    Mea Culpa. It was early. You can stand on my lawn and watch McMillen & Wife reruns. Susan St. James was a cutie.
