Has there been an official announcement about this? WOB Tempe is holding a launch event on 11/4. https://www.facebook.com/events/970198613023065/
Thanks for sharing. Love Southern Tier. We've actually had some of their beers at Total Wine for a couple years now, but I guess it's going to be more open after this release. So many great breweries brought into this state... add one more to the list. Cheers @greenhorn
Yep, I'm familiar with AZ receiving Pumking and Warlock the past couple of years, but I understood that as a brewery-direct deal with Southern Tier. Now that we're getting more of their beers, I'm curious why I haven't seen an official announcement from ST about expanding into AZ, as you generally do. I lived in NY for a time and would consider ST as one of my gateway craft breweries, so genuinely excited to see an old fav finally make it out here.
I went to the WoB launch event for Southern Tier, such as it was (I want to love WoB, but management and service seems subpar, at least at the Tempe location....it was terrible on the ST launch night). Hensley is the distributor; right now it sounds like they are carrying Choklat, 2XIPA, 2XMAS , Tangier and 2XIBA (I think that's what it's called). The Hensley rep said they'll expand to carry more of their lineup (I was most curious about Creme Brulee, which he claimed they will definitely get).
I'm very glad to get ST in AZ. My previous experience was a few drops from a bottle of Choklat in San Diego, plus a few bombers at the Beer Temple in Amsterdam. Muuuch closer now.
