    RR pulled out of Washington last year... then I saw this for Oregon...

    ...and I've heard rumblings (although they've died down over the last 6 months) of RR pulling out of CO too... hard to believe with the recent run of Consecration we've seen here (like 3-4 batches have hit town over the past few months it seems) ... but I'm a little worried... anyone else have any insights? Just curious. Thanks guys.

    I doubt they will pull out completely, but I wouldn't be surprised if they stop sending bottles of Pliny. Wouldn't bother me since I rarely come across them.

    If true, I hope it only applies to Pliny. Btw, anybody know when Temptation might hit town again? It's been too long.

    Maybe that was their departing gift to us.

    Based on talks I've had with Vinnie, he has no plans of pulling out of Colorado.

    On a side note, DIA should have direct flights to Santa Rosa next year.

    I also heard Chris Black (owner of FRTH) is good friends with Vinnie, hence why they almost always have Pliny on tap there as well as Blind Pig kegs, and most of the PtY when it comes through every February.... so I'd figure Colorado will be the very last state RR pulls out of, IF they stop distro here at all.

    We really do have it good here.

    It does seem they've stopped distributing Damnation, Redemption & Salvation here though, but the sours keep flowing as well as the Pliny.

    Chris Black once told me his relationship with Vinnie is the main reason why we get Russian River distributed here. I hope they remain lifelong pals.
