DFH coming back to WI

labor day of what year?

 

2013

 

so there's dfh in wi right now?

 

For a while now

 

Why yes it is. Didn't arrive until early December though.

 

I've only seen a bit of it in Milwaukee. Madison has a decent amount, though.

 

Can't say I've seen any in Milwaukee but I don't venture to Discount Often.

 

I've only seen one of their collaborations- I was a little confused, because I didn't think My Antonia was a collab, but the bottle said product of Italy... that was at Otto's.

My guess is that they are over-stretching their means of production a little bit. I would expect that they'll see how the beers sell in Madison and then get some to Milwaukee.

 

Huh? They left WI 2 (?) years ago due to stretched production and came back now due to increased capacity and ongoing demand.

 

Right, I understand that. But so far I've only seen them in a few Madison bottle shops. I'm pretty certain that their demand in other markets has gone up since they announced the return to Wisco, thereby affecting their ability to supply most of our markets with a decent flow of their product. Or, maybe they're just waiting to send to Milwaukee.

 

Who knows, but Madison is saturated with it. Maybe it's a lack of a Milwaukee distribution contract?

 

Could be. Lord knows our craft beer scene needs some work. Lots of potential, but beer education is pretty low overall and the big boys still own this own sales-wise.

 

On the plus side, you have the Miller brewery...so there's that

 

This is the answer. There is currently no distribution contract in Milwaukee for DFH (or however that works).

 

Green Bay has plenty of DFH...

 

sounds like it's time to start writing emails to capital and beachwood. gotta say, i'm not overly impressed by their abilities to distribute craft beer.

 

What will writing them emails do? How do you know it's even their problem?
