    Let's try this again. Third iteration of this thread. Please post PW information in this forum and let's continue to "play by the rules" to avoid giving admins any opportunity to lock this down. I think we can all agree that we appreciate having information contained in one place and the opportunity to have Pipeworks respond in one thread has been a great benefit for the BA Community.

    So what was the news on their FB page yesterday? I don't have FB so was unable to check out the news.

    We can't help who we are... these two, Lucky & Luckier (named for now), have a date with the vet in the morning. Hopefully they make it through the night. We have to bury Unlucky in the morning unfortunately. We found them under Part-Tim​
    e's steps over the weekend and we just now took the steps apart to get them.... hoping for the best! We were looking for another cat for the brewery but we're thinking these guys will probably go somewhere as a pair. We'll keep you posted after the vet visit.

    It's not exclusive club, so you could you know. I resisted for a couple years and decided what the hell. Very good place for beer information in news.

    Agree. I have a FB account but no friends... on purpose. Only a news feed filled with breweries and other things I like... and a couple groups. It's very useful for that, even if you don't want to get into the social part of it.

    Anyway, what's on deck for PW this week? Nice run throughout the summer guys, lots of favorites and lots of new stuff. I appreciate the NW 'burbs deliveries too. Keep 'em coming.

    August 27, 2013 Update

    This week we bring back an old favorite. Simcoe Ninja is back and better than ever! This juicy, dank Imperial IPA is scary crushable and possibly our favorite batch of anything we've bottled, ever. Drink early, drink fresh, drink often! $10.99, 22oz, 9.5% ABV

    Luckily we didn't drink all of it before we made it to distribution, so it is available for pickup immediately at both Binny's Lincoln Park and West Lakeview Liquors.

    just curious what the rules are and why this thread keeps getting locked. I think overall its better to contain PW stuff to ONE singular thread instead of having it spread around.

    I believe it keeps being locked down as a result of the long-standing and irregularly applied rule of not allowing the having of one 'all-encompassing' thread for the supposed purpose of having information 'easier' to search.

    I would have to agree, but I still think that rule is being misapplied here. Over 90% of what goes on in this thread is release info. Pipeworks is such a small brewery comparatively that there isn't a need for lots of threads even by the "site rules". Sure this thread gets a bit goofy and off topic, but way less than most other threads and we always get it back on track. I get how locking it may fit within the site policy, it just seems that whoever is doing it is completely missing the point, and actually being a detriment to the community.

    Infinite1, I know you said you drive into the city every couple of weeks but there's pretty much no reason that you're missing any release. West Lakeview Liquors still had Citra Ninja almost 11 days after it came out, and they even had Raspberry Truffle Abduction as of this past Thursday night, two weeks after that came out again. Hell, they even had snifters when I went Thursday. I don't know if you're like stuck on driving to the same one store and if you don't find something you're giving up, but others have mentioned in the past: try beermenus, and use your phone to call a few stores that have things listed. Lastly, Pipeworks has the names of all the stores they distribute to on their site. You really can't be striking out at every single one of those.

    I got ya.. I drive into the city to crappy areas. I would have to go further North to those stores. I remember going to PR liquors a couple of times after they updated on beer menus that they got stuff in and when I got there they say " oh yeah we never got it in"

    They will lie to you there if you are not a regular. Hit up Tabbs / Grand & Western / Noble Grape while in the area.

    yea, one of the reasons we are active and participate here is because we know exactly where to go to answer questions rather then having to respond in 10 different threads... we'll definitely be participating less if it's more of a hassle for us to do so. sorry.
