Prairie in Michigan?

I spent way too much money at holiday market today. Bomb is so good though!

 

I hated BOMB! I admit cost put me off of this one.

Pirate BOMB! was significantly better (I really liked the rum tint), but neither BOMB!s are worth the $10/bottle.

I am most excited to try some of their other beers, namely Noir.

Overall, more dist in MI is good news.

 

Part of me is happy I won't be spending $10/ bottle of Bomb!
Part of me is sad I won't be spending $10/ bottle of Bomb!

 

Are we sure that Shelton Bros is back in Michigan?

I'm not sure they are exclusively doing Prairie distro. I moved to AA from Kansas City about 3 months ago and prairie had just come to Kansas separate from Shelton. By contrast, Prairie and Shelton had both been in Missouri previously.

 

Yes Shelton is back

 

Yes they are back because we have them in stock

 

So does that mean everything Shelton carries eventually?

 

Depends on what the distributor brings in, Shelton has a pretty expansive portfolio, I can't imagine them carrying them all

 

Increased distro in MI is awesome! If Michigan could get something like Mikkeller or Anchorage too that would be great, and if we even had a shot at some Cantillon or Drie Fonteinen that would be amazing!

 

We are getting Anchorage and Mikkeller now, Holiday Market posted a huge list of beers they got on Friday:

Prairie Bomb!
Prairie Funky Gold Mosaic
Prairie Gold
Prairie Standard
Anchorage Anadromous
Anchorage Galaxy IPA
Anchorage Mosaic Saison
Dieu de Ciel Peche Mortel
Dieu de Ciel Aphrodite
Freigeist Abraxxxas
Freigeist Salzspeicher Sour Cherry Porter
Freigeist Salzspeicher Sour Raspberry Porter
Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel
Mikkeller Wit Fit
Mikkeller Better Half IPA
Mikkeller Black Hole Imperial Stout
Siren/Mikkeller/Hill Farmstead Lemon Cello IPA

I'm guessing we will be seeing more soon at other stores as well, just give it a couple weeks IMO. I am dying to try Peche Mortel again, I haven't had it in years.

 

Prairie was in A2 on thursday

 

Any Bomb! sightings in the GR area?

 

I'm guessing the west side of MI won't be getting any Prairie dude, sorry.

 

There is also a selection of Shelton products at The Wine Seller-Ann Arbor

 

This is good news.

 

Eventually yes, we will carry as much of the Shelton portfolio as possible.

 

Not true, just going to take me/us a while to work our way over there.

 

Oh goodie!

 

I had the pleasure of going to dieu du ciel in April. It was absolutely incredible. I second the excitement for them being here.

 

What's a good price for Bomb? I found some bottle driving through Indiana yesterday. I paid $18 for two bottles. I will pay a little extra to get some good beer not in my state if I have never had it before. But I won't pay that price for it again.

 

$8.99 is the going rate

 

Missed out on Bomb! but didn't love it the first time I had it.

Just found an Okie on a shelf. Happy.

 

Vanilla Noir hit Holiday today. Good stuff coming from them. Pretty stoked.

 

Shelton Bros. Just dropped another two huge orders at holiday. First on Thursday with some 3f and then vanilla noir and lots more bomb today. I was to nervous to pull the trigger for 30 dollar sours, but I'm excited at the prospect. Maybe next time. Hah!

 

Picked up a Vanilla Noir at 8 Degrees Plato the other day. Stuff is delicious but pricey - I think it was $11.99/bottle

I was in Holiday market in Royal Oak last weekend and they had like 3 cases of BOMB for $8.99/bottle. Picked up a few.

 

is this only happening in the metro area. In lansing and I haven't seen any Prairie.

 

It is all over Saginaw and surrounding areas.
