    I went to review Buffalo Sweat and it's marked "retired". It is readily available in stores, the website is active and no sign of retirement.

    I clicked on the Tools/Suggest Edit, but nothing has changed in a few weeks .

    Thanks!

    Pretty sure the brewery is done.

    Thanks all, guess I should read forums other than "What Beer Are You Drinking Now?" Lol.

    Sorry for the seemingly stupid question and thanks for being kind in your replies :slight_smile:

    To be fair, I believe their brewpub is staying open and will, in fact, still continue making Buffalo Sweat.

    @GuyFawkes nailed it. Brewpub is still open, although the production brewery closed. The beer should not be marked retired as it'll be available on draft at Tallgrass's Brewpub. Whatever stock is on shelves and in distribution warehouses is the last of it.

    Damn I didn't know they were for sure shutting down production. I guess the last 3 cans of Buffalo Sweat in my fridge are the last of it for me. Too bad. I really enjoy that beer. It was one of the first stouts I really enjoyed when getting into beer. The vanilla version was always a for sure buy when it was in season too!

    That's some shitty news; I've been wanting to try 8-Bit Pale Ale for quite a few years now. Sounds like I probably won't get the chance to try it.

    I don't feel comfortable putting in any change requests since I have no idea what they brew at the Tap Room. But that is good information. @Harrison8? Someone else know whats brewed at the Taproom and want to put in the move requests?
