    Posted on the newsletter from City Beer in SF....

    Thursday, April 10: Alpine Beer Company IPA Tapping....
    Nelson...tapping at noon and free flowing
    It's no secret that we have mad love for Alpine Beer Company, day dreaming often about a fresh glass of Nelson (a Golden Rye IPA) to brighten our day(s). We will be launching Alpine's distribution into Northern California with draft pours of fresh Nelson...pouring, pouring, pouring.
    *Please note, we will NOT have any bottles of Alpine for sale.

    So who's actually distributing the beer? And no bottles for sale?

    Green Flash's distribution network. Also, no bottles because Green Flash is only brewing Alpine beer in kegs for now.

    The first time I had Alpine, it was at Apex, in PORTLAND. So the way they distribute beer is.....???

    kegs have hit some local spots in LA already, maybe they'll be trickling into the OC soon if not already there?

    Surprisingly, so far the response has been the opposite from what I've seen. I hope to try next week when my local place gets it in.

    Do they distribute from Northern Cali to OC? I can't find any Alpine beers here.

    They've just started sending out kegs that were brewed at Green Flash, nothing else has changed.

    I thought it was strange that a keg of Nelson showed up at the Bottle Room yesterday...
