    Has anyone noticed a diminishing in FFF's distribution in WI? They were nowhere to be found in the LaCrosse area, and it seems that turnaround/restocking in the Madison area has been slower than normal. Brian Boru, the February seasonal, isn't even in stores that I've seen. Does anyone know what the deal is?

    I know that them pulling out of Wisconsin is "categorically denied" per their website's FAQ/Rumors section, so I know that isn't the case, but it seems like something is up. Prepping for DLD perhaps? Somebody in the know please give me the lowdown.

    I don't think this is "shortage" is limited to WI. Supply is up, but the demand is up more. In all thier markets, plus with brewpub sales. Disappointed that we didn't get Brian Boru this year.

    My fingers are still crossed for getting Boru. Sometimes their seasonals show up a month late or so, which sucks but is better than not at all. Boru is one of my favorite beers from them. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come with their seasonals...

    Funny, because Hudson suddenly started getting ALOT of Three Floyds a couple months ago.

    It seems to me *most* of their beer is getting easier to find to Madison. Last summer Alpha King and Gumball were pretty tough to find. I see both of them almost every time I'm in a liquor store.

    Wasn't Rye'd Da Tiger supposed to replace Black Sun as the winter seasonal too? I remember seeing Black Sun last year, but no Rye'd Da Tiger this year.

    Speak of the devil, Riley's tweeted they got some Brian Boru. For $6.99 a pop.

    Any idea who the distributor is for FFF in Madison? Here in Milwaukee it's Beer Capitol.

    I want to say it's General Beverage, but I'm not 100% on that. All the distributors here have such forgettable names.
