Message legion242 beers 2345 º places 122 º 16:51 Sun 11/1/2009 BTW, at my store, this is the most asked for beer, as Swalden can probably back up. I remember when Fat Tire was the most asked for. Once Yuengling comes, someone else will replace them right away.

This begs the question: OP, is the guy in this story an old geezer? If so, this seems like a prime example of the following conversation: Geezer: "Hey sonny, you have any X Beer for sale?" Beer Store Dude: "No, that beer isn’t distributed in this state." Geezer: "Horse pucky! Me and my college buddies would drink this all the time....back in aught five." Beer Store Dude:

Of course I am. Sold it around 1991.

Of course I am. Sold it around 1991. Didn’t mean to imply geezerdom. Well, guess I did. In fact, the original punchline I wrote was "... back in ’85" but I figured that that would offend everyone 40 and over, so I changed it. Your experience is invaluable, though, and we treasure your geezerly experience here. Love, the beer drinking whipper-snappers
Message CanIHave4Beers P beers 4373 º places 76 º 06:53 Mon 11/2/2009 Originally posted by pepsican I’ve had people swear up and down that someone in Iowa has it as well. They don’t. People can’t quite grasp distribution. Just because uncle frank had a keg at the family reunion does not mean that it’s available at stores. There is a bar in Des Moines that exclusively uses Yuengling porter 6 pack holders for all their condiments. I can’t imagine the grief that this must cause their staff and subsequent beer stores in our area.
