    Since the other thread was locked, figured we could put any news here.

    Benz in CR is having a 15% off store-wide sale to try and clear some inventory before the flood hits. Just FYI!

    I don't know what you mean by better. They are what they are. Johnson Brothers has most of the goods but Abu Nawes gets the Shelton Bro stuff for Iowa. Not sure what is left from 7G and Glazers.

    This is the second thread you've had questions about Iowa beer distributors. I guess I have to ask, as someone from Minnesota, why so much interest in who distributes what in Iowa?

    I like to educate myself with how everybody else distributes beer compared to my own market.

    Does anyone know anything about No Coast beers? I thought they were relatively new but they sent some cans to CR. Just wondering if any of it is worth picking up?

    Picked up the pale ale and the stout out of curiosity. Perfect example of why not every brewery should can their offerings.

    You mean perfect example of why every home brewer whose friends tell him/her their beer is great, should open a brewery.
