    Drinx Unlimited will be carrying Founders and they said between June 1st and July 1st they will have it. I'll have my first delivery from CBG Tues, or Weds this week after putting in my order on Friday. But as for Founders they saw what Drinx Unlimited has done with Dogfish and Lagunitas and some of the reps told them how dedicated Drinx is to their brands and it sealed the deal. Founders had no desire to be in CT because of the sole distribution laws but Drinx convinced them, so we should all thank them lol

    I first heard of Rock Art (and for that matter, first joined BA) when the Monster controversy broke. At the time my local store happened to have one bottle of Vermonster sitting on the shelf. So I guess they had been in CT at some point in the past.

    Ran into the guy that was selling Racer 5 illegally today lol. I tried everything to get them to admit they were selling it illegally but it didn't work. He ended up with a bottle of Nugget Nectar and I was out a bottle. Fun Fun.

    I can't quite tell - are you seriously surprised and upset by this? Obviously you haven't been to the store that (from what I've seen in the last few months) has had a selection including various offerings from the Bruery, Anchorage, Midnight Sun, Cigar City, Russian River, etc. They've flat-out admitted to me that they're doing it under the table.

    You can always spot the illicit options quickly: they're the only ones with BA shelf talkers. Ridiculous, and probably only a matter of time before they get in some serious trouble.
