Everytime fall rolls around I long for easy access to Old Chub and wouldn’t mind being able to get Dales and G’knight everyday either.

Any word if KS/MO distribution is in the cards anytime soon?

Cheers.

Sent a message to a friend in that area who may have some insight, will let you know if it’s interesting.

Also, agree 100% on Old Chub - great fall beer.

Thanks Tim. I’ve never understood why two neighboring states get continually passed over everytime they expand distribution.

Mmmm....Ten Fidy. Luckily I was in Colorado just two weeks ago and brought home a 4-pack!

My email begging them a few years back has not been successful, but I remain ever hopeful.

I know - seems like MO could make the case with KC, St L and Columbia markets.

Wasnt it a couple years ago that the guys at Goebels had a contract to start distributing, the OB said they couldnt fulfill it because they couldnt keep up with demand in their home state but said when they expanded they would start with distro? Am I making this up?

I remember talking to Rob about it back in 08(?). Sounds about right but I know they’ve added markets since then from reading the fourms on the other site. Plus they’ve added Yella and G’knight to their regular lineup since then so production doesn’t seem to be a problem.

I’m just disappointed cuz I don’t have the funds to trade for my annual Ol Chub and Surlyfest stocks this year. Surly is Surly but OB should be available here by now.

We thought we had them locked up to distribute a couple of years ago. Then they went into TX as had production problems. They have had no interest in coming to KS since then. I can’t speak for MO.
