    How is OTWOA making our random state of CT but it doesn't even hit distribution in DC Brau's home turf?

    They are likely talking about kegs. Kegs get distributed throughout DC (and soon MD) but cans have always been brewery only and, as far as I know, there haven't been any announcements that the situation is changing any time soon. The only time OTWOA has not been brewery only were the first couple runs, in 22oz bottles. Kegs do hit liquor stores for growler fills though.

    One beer manager I talked to said that DC Brau came into CT through a small wine distributor, which is why we really didn't hear much before they got here. They also said that since it is through a wine distirbutor, CT will not see any DC Brau kegs for any of their beers. So still not sure if we'll see OTWOA, but it sure would be great if we did.

    while it is likely kegs that will be in CT, when they rolled out into Richmond last year we did get some cases of cans of OTWOA

    Ahh, news to me. Maybe they will send some up to celebrate the new territory. I figure that was a 1 time thing?

    I don't believe anything that any of the salesmen distributors tell me til I see it happen. Keep you guys posted.

    Agreed ... Bot is definitely better ... OTWOA is very good but not in the same class in my opinion ...

    Have also had both, and while OTWOA is a very good beer, I also really prefer GBot to it. Wish New England Brewing, would distribute to, you know, the rest of New England...

    OTWOA can be hit/miss, often within the same case.
