Outside of their flagships, yeah.. They are coming out with the 2nd and 3rd releases in bombers soon/now. I’ve seen their Pale Ale in bombers . . . I actually saw that at the store recently too. Not sure why they made that move.. I know they were having can problems.. I think they are now sourcing a different can type entirely. Perhaps they bottled it after they eliminated the problem cans yet before they got their new cans.

Message Vav beers 13 º 07:38 Mon 3/5/2012 It depends on what the guys tell me, i’m helping them out ’til they get their storefront up and running. The way i understand it, i’ll be receiving a list of names and i’ll hold the bottle(s) for 7 days, afterwhich they go on the shelf. I’ll update with more information when i’ve got it, i’m slated to hammer out the rest of the details with Gerrit today :)

Message Vav beers 13 º 14:29 Mon 3/5/2012 It’ll be one per person allocated on Friends with Benefits. I’ll have beer on the shelf too for general consumption, so you’re welcome to grab from there too.
