Iowa Rumors?

There was a Lagunitas rumor floating around a while ago, but it's been a long time since I've heard any whisperings about that...

 

Lagunitas should be happening, but, not until the Chicago brewery is built.

 

Deschutes is a recent rumor I've heard floating around but haven't heard anything more lately.

The Lagunitas rumor has been all over the place: first they were just looking then they were confirmed then they pulled out for unknown reasons and not it seems all but dead. I've heard complaints Lagunitas has had some issues in some other states so I don't know what to make of any of it.

Other breweries that I've seen/heard rumors about include: Great Divide, Two Brothers, Terrapin, and Dogfish Head but I can't say they've been more than just conjecture/wishes. I've also heard rumblings about Schlafly possibly distributing to the whole state.

Needless to say in the past year Iowa's distribution has steadily improved with the additions of Founders, Stone, Green Flash and even lesser named breweries like: Tallgrass and Mendocino (I'm sure theres been more too).
Hopefully more will come soon though!

 

Word on the street is a major limited release beer will be in Iowa come the end of November.

 

One that starts with the letter "B" ? :-)

 

"B"?? If you mean Bourbon County, that is coming, but that is not what I was getting at. Keep guessing

 

Jester King is at John's. So far just this http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/24018/75930

 

Deschutes just announced Chicago, so Iowa wouldn't seem completely unreasonable to fill in their footprint.

 

You never know, but that's not what I am talking about

 

Hint on what state its from?

 

That would be too easy...haha

 

I'm guessing KBS...
BCBS is already coming at the end of November.

 

Nope

 

From Michigan?

 

Not a single hint, Cmon man!

 

Ballast Point or Brooklyn?

 

How about Founders Bolt Cutter?

 

Should be shipping around the 19th.

 

RAIR!

 

A hint, it's an in and out package, for a limited time. It's not a Founders product, but I know you will like it. It's from one of the coasts

 

SN release?

 

maybe it is the BA Bigfoot or the next iteration of Stone Enjoy By.

 

I'm going to hoard all of it we get.

 

beer gets better with age. especially hoppy ones to help preserve flavour. rair also protects falvor.

 

Any idea if that will be statewide or just iowa city/cedar rapids?

 

Located in Des Moines here, so I know it will be here. There are a couple good guesses out there.

 

oh yeah, could be BA bigfoot...Hmmm looking forward to it no matter what it is, lol.

 

Calling out DollCraftTrav, enough of the games just tell us, be Iowa Nice!

 

I guarantee you will ENJOY it

 

Kickass!

edit: Now, hopefully it hits Council Bluffs :-D

 

Hopefully what hits Council Bluffs?

 

A beer I think I will really ENJOY.

 

Does Anyone know a dentist because this is like pulling teeth, SPILL IT ALREADY enough ballyhoo!

 

I see what you did there.

 

BY the time it hits, I'd imagine that around new years day it would be past it's prime...from the sounds of it.

 

Narwhal? #pleasepleaseplease

 

I wish there was more nonsensical rumors in this thread.

 

ZOMG Jeff's brother's sister's cousin heard from this girl that heard from this guy that Ferris passed out at 31 Flavors last night! I guess it's pretty serious...

 

What nonsensical rumors are you referring too?
