Message levifunk beers 12 º 12:10 Fri 4/4/2014 We’ve decided to self distribute our Brett Cider into Minneapolis instead of using a distributor for this first round. Allocating 150 cases (750ml) to the metro area and I’m wondering what are the "Need to be" locations? Also, if any of you work for a store/bar let me know. Here is some more info on the product.

Message Atom beers 3305 º places 229 º 13:24 Fri 4/4/2014 As for the Four Firkins, it may be in your best interest to wait and let a distributor deal with them. From what I understand they are not an easy vendor. They are very demanding and complain a lot. This is what I hear anyway.

This could be true but its a popular beer store and they are knowledgeable about their products, which might be beneficial for a newer product.

Message JK beers 7296 º places 442 º 16:25 Wed 4/9/2014 I didn’t know Oso had a koelschip. Are you brewing lambic style beers as well as the cider? If you make a good lambic/gueuze, I think we would buy a lot of it.
Message levifunk beers 12 º 16:38 Wed 4/9/2014 I have a coolship, and the lambic stuff is under Funk Factory. The cider stuff is separate and a partnership between myself and Mitch Leidel under the name Leidel’s Cider. I wish I was producing enough lambic to distribute much less distribute to MN! Hopefully one day.
