    How about the beer "Bro's" just come out and state what is acceptable. Locking threads because someone's Jimmies are rustled without explanation can lead to a sense of WTF and why. Big things are happening in Texas with regards to beer. Texas is a big state. Texas is a highly populated state. Therefore, more larger markets with larger customers = more post.

    I know it's a little early but do you guys anticipate doing growler fills for the Founders stuff if you get it? Also do you guys have a tap list online?

    Don't expect KBS. Everything else, I could see.

    We're a retailer first and a bar second, so yes, we will be doing Founders in growlers. Everything on tap is available in growlers except for nitros (we learned pretty quickly that nitro beers don't survive more than an hour or so in a growler). I'll be talking with my BEK rep today to try to get more details about the Founders launch.

    We have a website under construction and we're trying to find someone to design a mobile app for us as well. Until that goes live, I'll be posting a tap list on Facebook and Twitter 2-3 times a week. I put one up yesterday, in fact.

    If your BEK rep mentions a missing keg of KBS just say you haven't heard anything :wink:

    This gives me a new idea for a color described as "surprise".

    FTFY... wouldn't want to be too vague. :wink:

    And about growler fills, is pwsoldier filling growlers from Cask? Seems like a bad idea

    So there is a grocery store in Columbus, OH that sells KBS "Easter Egg Hunt" style. They hide single bottles throughout the store - limit one per person.

    lol oh, Ohio

    No cask. That would be a horrible idea.

    I figured, but your post above said only no nitro. Was just double checking. I've always heard it was awful to growler cask beer.

    We've confirmed Big Hops will be part of the launch. One keg each of Centennial, Dirty Bastard, Red's Rye, and All Day.

    Rant session for a minute then back on topic. WTF has gotten in to people lately? Is it just me or do folks want to cherry pick what they read in a thread and if they don't like what they read they start to cry about it? I liked the everything threads for a couple of reasons. 1. it included everything from that brewery. 2. and the most important was I liked the comradery between the multiple posters. I found it enjoyable to watch the rat race develop online when a new release was out. This is just beer folks. People need to chill the fornicate out. If you don't like a thread, don't enter it or start a new thread. Ok, back on topic.

    Can't wait for Monday. Hopefully Nobi will have some in then.
