    Binny’s Champaign just received a shipment, buddy picked up a 4pk of the Helles and Vienna Lager for me, Helles is excellent, been wanting to try Dovetail for a while. Looking forward to the Vienna Lager

    I forgot that it costs a lot more (for Dovetail). I don’t mean that as a criticism as I’m sure it’s just more expensive to make. Kolsch is coming back soon; any word on Pilsner?

    Yeah it's definitely more expensive than I was expecting but it's a great beer.

    Anyone know if Maibock is being distributed or brewery only? Don't see anything about it on their socials.

    Photo-bombing this thread, with deep appreciation for @77apm - just another perfect Dovetail beer. The Kolsch. This thread knows. Few others do. Just amazing lager-fection here. Damn.

    Oh no the kolsch is gone :confused: I guess I’ll re-up on the lager and the helles. Hard to be mad about all this easy to get lager!

    Kolsch will be back in no time, hint hint!
    But when Lager and Helles cans can be bought at the same time, is there even a question!

    The Maibock is fantastic. Rich complex honey and flowers. Like an amped up version of the vienna lager. Or a non-funky Anna. Dovetail is killing the game.

    They’re starting to do some light distro of taproom beers now too. The Beer Cellar is doing a pre-order of the Grodsiskie this week
