    Thanks for the kind words Bill. Had a really fun time out there. The Casper beer community is a great one, you guys have a real passion for the craft!

    I stopped by on Friday morning shortly after they opened. Grabbed a Mirror Mirror for my co-worker. Noticed that the Alaskan Smoked Porters were from 2009. Grabbed one of those. I had a 2008 a few months ago and it was pretty damn good.

    I could have bought a few other things but I'm glad I saved myself. I bought way too much this past weekend while in Denver.

    Craft Beer Week in Casper...beer samplings from some brewers and Teton Distributing all week. And..the 4th annual Harmony, Hops, and Hope downtown on the 17th.

    Also, the Wyoming collaboration brew, a Steam Beer, will be on tap Monday the 12th at the Wonder Bar. Pints only, no Growler fills. :slight_frown:

    New beers coming from Wyoming State: a chili beers at 4% abv and a Barleywine. Good news for the Fat Canvas Brewery...they've found a place to do their stuff!

    The New Belgium-Odell Hop Kitchen APA showed up today. Hmmm..I had no clue there was such a thing and there aren't any reviews yet.

    I think this is a first for Casper: 14 taps, 9 from WY, and NO Bud or Coors Light! Thanks, Prime Time!

    We have a blend coming: Luminous(Wheat Ale) and Wyoming State Brewing(IPA). I haven't had a sample but those who have, say it's very good.

    Not Casper but up in Story for family reunion and hit Blacktooth in Sheridan again. Their Baltic Porter is quite delicious.

    I hope you and the family had a great 4th, Dan!

    This coming week, some 750ml Belgian beers will be coming to Casper. Jacob at Liquor Shed is behind this. Bless his heart.

    Do you guys usually see Beer Camp there? I asked our distributor to get allocation and the guy who orders seem to have forgotten so I think we are gonna get screwed on that one. I'd probably make a trip down to just get that.

    That would be much appreciated. I think my buddy and I would split the gas to drive down to get a 12pk each.

    Is Black Butte XXVI still plentiful? I have XIV and XV so I need it to keep my small vertical going. :grinning:

    I'm still trying to get our distributor to carry more of Deschutes line of beers so maybe in time for XXVII or at this rate it will be XXX :wink:

    Poplar Wine and Spirits now also has a Growler station !

    Scratch that. I looked at the pic of the tap handles...Founders? It's a Poplar Wine & Spirits in TN.
