    Thank you. My timezone was set to London so that explains it.

    Pompeii will likely not be hitting the metro. Nova got it this weekend, but they get directly from TG in Decorah. We get it from Florida and it doesn't sound like any is coming out of there any time soon.

    So Nova gets all its TG from Iowa?

    I asked my local shop, and they said since they only carry CW sporadically, they only received a case or two. I think the distributor is being stingier.

    We have gotten Lightspeed, Pompeii, and Zee in MN, and that's not from FL

    Pretty sure all bombers are from Decorah, but I could be wrong

    And I thought that all the cans and 12oz bottles that Casanova has gotten are all from Florida, not Decorah.

    Yes and yes: all cans come from Florida and all bombers come from Iowa.

    When I talked to the guys at nova this weekend and asked about it, they said directly from Decorah.

    You may be right, but I talked to a sales rep from Johnson Brothers and he said we wouldn't be seeing Pompeii any time soon in MN. Nova got about 15 cases or so on Friday. just telling what I have heard:grinning:

    I think the confusion might be about the difference between who distributes vs. who brews it.

    Brewhub FL brews all the cans.
    Decorah brews all the bombers and kegs.

    TG directly delivers the beer (whether it was brewed in IA or FL) to Casanova from Decorah. They use their little TG van.
    In MN, it goes to a distributor and then to our stores.
