Yes. Probably be hard pressed finding a beer store that doesn't sell it.

As others have said you should be able to find Commotion almost anywhere in Shreveport.

Try Great Raft Reasonably Corrupt if you haven't already.

I am wondering when that Commotion is going city-wide in NOLA. I can only find it at Martin's Wine Cellar at the moment.

I haven't really looked for it but I'm sure I've seen it other places. I've been able to buy the bombers at other stores.

Interesting. How would you compare it to the weekend warrior? I always thought commotion was a solid session APA but not on WW level.

Keep an eye out for their hopped up saison bomber. That's a very, very good beer in my opinion.

What's the name of that one? I think I grabbed one last weekened. Is that All My Tomorrows? I grabbed a bottle at Elios (they have Commotion as well) and it was solid.

LSURoss,

As I read this I remembered a blog post by Andrew Nations from June of 2013 in which he wrote:

"Hops – The unfortunate truth is that the sexy hops are tough to get… at least until we can contract for the next crop. Hops such as Citra, Amarillo and Nelson Sauvin are increasingly hard to procure for a brewery of our size. The only thing I’d love to do more than brew an all-Citra DIPA, is to drink one. But hopefully you can appreciate that the last thing we want to do is to introduce a hoppy beer that we cant make enough of. "

Since that time, have y'all been able to obtain a more reliable supply of these types of hops? If so, that's great news. I am looking forward to trying your Kolsch style too.

Cheers
