    This one is out of left field, as I have not read anywhere about Half Acre coming to Wisconsin, but Ray's in Wauwatosa just tweeted that they received their first delivery of Daisy Cutter with a 6/1 canning date.

    Maybe a response to Revolution arriving earlier in the week? I'm partial to Half Acre, but both are excellent additions to Brew City.

    Half Acre tweeted out that they just delivered a little bit due to the Beer Camp festival. Won't be permanent unfortunately.
    I was just at Rays and there were only a few cases (from what it looked like).

    Sounds to me like they're using the upcoming festival to take advantage of distribution loopholes to conduct market testing. Several other breweries have used similar tactics before signing full distribution in the state.

    You are right - product in for BC Festival. No concrete plan for distribution as of yet.

    Wisconsin's beer scene just keeps getting better...I've pretty much retired from beer trading this year, now I dont even need my cousin to bring beer up from Chi!?!? AWESOME.

    Also found Daisy Cutter at Timer's in Racine, so not just Milwaukee. If you're in the satellite burbs, it's worth a look at your local shop just in case.

    I will completely agree with this as soon as Pipeworks, Ninja vs. Unicorn in particular, makes its way into WI.

    If you can get Half Acre Vallejo buy it. It's very good.
