    A few months or so, nice to see the offerings coming in and growing. I've only had the Dark Truth but that was a very good Stout IMO.

    Everything I've had from their smokestack series has been great.

    I was just traveling in Chicago this past week and had some of their offerings (Double-wide IPA and Sixth Glass Quad)... Both we very good and oozed with depth and complexity... Good stuff - I would love to see it work its way to Pennsylvania...

    Wow, this is great news that I'm shocked to hear. GI and Boulevard both coming? We are getting spoiled with distribution to NC.

    We are the 10th biggest state by population and the urban areas are relatively affluent, with large foodie populations. Perfect recipe for strong sales.

    The rumors I've heard is just Honkers and 312, only draft. Emphasis on rumors.

    I hope that's not true, would love to see BCBS and some of their sours!

    From early August

    Sullivan said he also plans to launch in North Carolina by “mid-October” with the same sell-in strategy. “We haven’t finished our due-diligence quite yet,” he said. “But we are talking with a number of distributors throughout the state. No contracts have been signed at this point.”

    At this point, mid-October is not likely unless they've hooked up with a distributor. My contacts at the local shop said they had not signed with one as of two weeks ago.

    Boulevard would be great. All of their beers are pretty solid, and Tank 7, Sixth Glass, BBQ, and Dark Truth are all great beers. Now if we could just get Schlafly as well . . .

    John Hall announced on the Brewing Network that Goose Island was going to expand distribution to all 50 states. He also talked about how his top sellers (312, Honkers, IPA) were being brewed by AB, therefore I wouldn't hold my breath for the limited releases like BCBS, at least in year 1.
    Still, great news, though!
