    Hi from Oregon!
    At one time this beer was widely available here but recently have not seen it.
    Have Anchor cut back on distribution?
    With the big money take-over they should have at least maintained....also come to think of it..can't get any Anchor beers anymore..not even in Trader Joes up here.
    Just seems wrong after a takeover and nothing available

    I recently had this year's OSA, so it should be around. Maybe whoever carries them in your area isn't pushing them too hard?

    Likewise (though it was roughly a week ago). Also, the Horse Brass currently has the OSA on tap. So it's definitely available in Oregon still.

    Obviously it's still out there, but I usually grab a six pack of the OSA to add to the vertical (shrug), and this is the first year I've ever had anything resembling difficulty finding it. The only bottle I've seen was one or two of those novelty magnums.
    It is odd, to be sure, given everything.

    You guys are making me thirsty for it. Gotta get some out of respect for our elders if nothing else and for science. Went to their website, searched "find our beer" several places near me from Alderwood Mall (Total Wine) to Central Market (Mill Creek) are claimed to have it. We'll see.

    I found some Anchor Steam today at Trader Joes in Redmond, WA. Not Redmond, OR

    It's a very easy drinking thirst quencher.

    Saw 6-packs at World Foods in the Pearl this past weekend. Also seems like the kind of thing a Fred Meyer would carry.
