Lift Bridge Bottles

Nice. My wife has missed the Farm Girl since it hasn't been around.

 

good news. would love to see some hop prop in bottles sometime in 2012

 

At a recent tour the owner was hoping Hop Prop would hit the shelves late March or early April this year.

 

12 oz. or 750's?

 

12oz. At least that is what I assumed since he said Hop Prop would roll out after the other three were bottled and distributed.

 

Cool, that's what I was hoping to hear.

 

I think Hop Prop six packs are what could really put them on the national beer map. It will be one of the best IPA's in our market.

 

SO true!

 

I need to try hop prop again, I wasn't that impressed before, but I love giving beers second chances haha.

 

Excited to have FRESH bottles of this around. I think Lift Bridge will only get better now that they are brewing in their own space.

Oh, and I agree on Hop Prop bottles, but fresh regular Crosscut will also make me happy.

 

Hop Prop in a sub ten dollar six pack would be nice. I havent bought a six pk since Farm Girl was first released. No real interest in the current bottled offerings.

Any dating on the new bottles?

 

Well I have good news for you guys!! Hop Prop will be back. You currently can get Farm Girl, Crosscut, and Chestnut Hill in 6 packs. With all great things come time, These guys do it right the first time and want to make sure the awaiting public won't be disappointed.

 

I still need to pick up a bomber of Irish Coffee Stout, was really digging it at the release party.

 

I've seen them every where, a nice surprise. Surprisingly for only about a buck more than what was charged for at the brewery.

 

had i on tap saturday and have seen it at numerous shops around town... good stuff

 

Apple Valley liquors (I saw this at store #3) has the Irish Coffee Stout at $11.99 in case anyone is in the south metro looking.

 

Without a doubt....pricing will be key...keep it reasonable and they will move a ton of product...it amazes me how many places don't get this...I realize New Glarus is a giant compared to most places but they've had success by brewing quality beer AND keeping things reasonable on the prices...the more you sell the more you create an identiy and in turn the more beer people want to buy from you etc....they seem to be on the right track right now...hopefully they take the next step...

Also dating would be very important too.

 

I don't know if it's Lift Bridge that sets the price. I may be completely wrong, I don't know much about Minnesota distribution policy. Are they distributing their own beers? If not then you got Lift Bridge, Distributor, and Liquor store who are all gonna need a cut to make it happen. While beer distribution may not be something I know a whole lot about I know a little about buisness and everyone wants a piece when money is being made.

 

I remember seeing an ad for a truck driver on their blog or website or someplace this winter (or whatever that mildly cold season was we had), so I believe they do self-distribute at this point.
