    Well if they just bottled it at the original brewery, I assume it should hit the store pretty quick?

    Haven't all the other 750s been corked and capped? Seems like a strange time to change venture away from that.

    The kzoo ipa comes in bombers, not 750s.

    No offense, but that stuff is terrible. I hope they're just doing some bombers to give it a whirl and see how it takes instead of using this as the next in the 750 series.

    It has always been cafe-only, correct? With all of the new breweries opening in Kzoo, I wouldn't be surprised if they were bottling it just to trademark the name. I've been thinking about that aspect of brewing business a lot more since that scurvy ordeal.

    It hasn't been bottled before, but it hasn't been Cafe-only either. It has made an appearance at several Kalamazoo bars. Also, I think you could be on to something about claiming the name. Registering a trademark is generally pointless, but actually making and distributing a product with a specific name will (generally speaking) create trademark protection. It's mostly all about use and widespread knowledge of that use. (attorney mode: off).

    called today and wasn't told the usual, "none yet, and they usually don't tell us anything."

    this time it was, " not yet, but i was told we could be getting some in the next couple days."

    Confirmed. They also said that there likely wouldn't be another 750 until this was gone (but, it's Bell's, so take that for what it's worth).

    What's the price per bottle?

    Edit: nevermind. Actually used the phone to call. 5.39 per bottle OTD.
