    With Oskar Blues acquisition of Perrin, will their beers be distributed to the East Coast?

    I don't have inside information. They made 10,540 bbls last year. Is that enough to cover the East Coast?

    That's 326,740 gallons of beer ( 31 gallons per barrel). 40,842 pints. You never know, though. Beer distribution is weird.

    I think your math is fuzzy on the pints, as you have fewer pints than gallons.

    Almost assured it will be further distributed than it is currently. OB didn't purchase them to keep them small fish. Their location is massive and I'm sure they'll be able to significantly increase production if that is their desire.

    Right now Perrin is primarily distributed only as kegs and only in Michigan. I imagine they'll get to more packaged distribution now, but east coast is probably several years off.

    Wasn't a Boston-area PE firm involved in the buyout?
