    If true, this is unfortunate.

    that’s very dissapointing, I think I bought it every week it was available last year, mostly just while browsing my local shop.

    Made the trip for Smoking Gull today and drank Sunshine Ranch (WC Pils) which was delish! Bummer about no distro but, got Vallejo this year which was nice.

    I’m very interested in that one. Sounds right up my alley.

    Releasing an Italian Pils this week and Navaja returns at the end of the month. Good day of news for Half Acre fans.

    Had a west coast Pilsner on draft tonight at HA with @eppCOS ... pretty tasty! Lots of fun stuff happening on their pilot system.

    Also, some patrons there may think I'm a murderer. I can explain, I swear. It has to do with coconut.

    Thank you very much! I have too much beer. That said, I will nonetheless buy many Navaja four packs after confirming it's still Navaja with a draft pour.

    Thank you so much for the tag @Jaycase !

    No distro? That sucks for me. Sounds like a working afternoon at Balmoral is in my future I suppose.

    Always exciting when Navaja is released! Navaja has to be the best keg deal around....10% DIPA for $95ish last time. Kegorator is ready and waiting...

    Looks like we are being blessed with Navaja a week early! It is available starting today.

    Is it possible that Half Acre adding Way Bird as another year round offering has reduced beers like Smoking Gull and Navaja to taproom exclusives? I don't get the chance to visit Balmoral as much as I would like and seeing less variety of Half Acre on retail shelves has been frustrating.

    hate the customers, not the game. It’s the current market that drives their decisions on what gets distro and what doesn’t. And yea, I’m with you, it’s a bummer

    Navaja being relegated to taproom-only is a federal crime.
