Green Flash Distributing Alpine Bottles

Yes, the Green Flash Alpine bottles have already hit other states. They're about $9.99 while the bottles from Alpine are under $6. It sounds like the bottled GF Alpine is tasting better based on the latest check-ins.

 

Already hit IA and they were only $6.99-8.99 depending on the store and variety purchased

 

May be cheaper at TW... website shows $7.99 for 22oz Nelson. That's a little better.

 

Yep. Hitting here in about 2 weeks for Cleveland Beer Week. Hope they are better than the draft we got a few months ago.

 

I might be dumb, and if this question is answered, I'm probably still dumb, but how do you know which is which? We get a ton of Green Flash in NYC and some Alpine (probably GF Alpine), but I'm curious to know if I can tell if the Alpine we might get is GF Alpine.

 

Kegs are GF, the bottles will either list san diego (GF) or Alpine, CA (Alpine)

That being said bottles outside of CA are definitely GF

Alpine brewed Alpine may no longer exist now? Anyone know about that?

 

If you get any Alpine there, it's GF Alpine. Bottle, draft, doesn't matter.

I had my first GF bottled Nelson the other day. I can say its definitely better than the draft Alpine we've been seeing. Still not quite as good as the source. But wasn't disappointed like with draft. And yes, $8.99, ouch. I wish I went to southern Cal as frequently as I used to. Loved stopping by the brewery.

 

We've been getting Alpine over here for a while, at least including Nelson and Duet. While I was hoping for some way to know that I was getting Alpine from the source, I guess my suspicions are confirmed that this is GF doing Alpine and I can only hope for the best.

 

Can't speak to whether Green Flash is distributing it or not, but up until about 6 weeks ago I had never seen Alpine in Virginia and only once or twice at Churchkey events had I seen it in DC. Now it is all over the place. Something has definitely changed with their distribution...and I like it!

 

Paper labels and the green flash on the bottle.

 

alpine is soooooo small they could never brew enough beer to distro to NY. They can't even supply California. If you are getting kegs its GF. Now the bottles are very easy to tell because they are bottled in a GF bottle. If you've had a green flash bottle you should know what I am talking about.

 

Kegs are in DE now too. Is there that much of a difference in quality?

 

How about in between?


Hazels got it today.

 

anyone know if Michigan will see these?

 

these hit the SF bay area today too...gonna have to give em a try soon

 

Any sightings in Kentucky?
