    Looking over approvals... there were quite a few Sixpoint beers approved for cans AND kegs at the end of May. These include The Crisp Lager, Bengali Tiger IPA, Sweet Action Ale, Righteous Ale, & Resin Ale. The Spice of Life Ale approved this week was keg-only.

    Note: I've never seen this in a can, but I do believe I've seen it on draught.

    Silver Eagle will be carrying it in Houston and SA. Not sure about the rest of TX, but my guess would Ben E Keith.

    The camo cans are already out. They came with a jet ski at out store. Yes, an actual jet ski (which has since been removed). I guess they're targeting the shark-hunter market or something.

    You're f'ing out!

    Pretty pumped about Racer X, the Lazy Mag, and the Enjoy By from Stone. So much new beer in our market. Good times.

    Except what was heard earlier in the thread... nothing. All the label approvals are ready to go though. Wish they would've shipped some Smashed Pumpkin to us.

    I imagine it will be here and in San Antonio during their Base Camp 2nd-10th of Nov. They seem to have these specialty kegs (BBXXIV, Abyss, Dissident... etc) during those events.

    As for Shipyard...It has currently been in a holding pattern but it looks like we are finishing up some of the logistics and will be ready to bring Shipyard to market in the coming weeks!!

    We will be handling everywhere but Austin. What styles are people looking for when it comes to Shipyard?
