Well we get most of those. I guess I misunderstood what you meant by giving up Texas beer for CO beer

TX law just allowed them to start selling at brewery in last three months

before then, you paid to attend brewery tour and you got select number of "free" samples. also could not take anything home before recently

now jester king is starting to make certain beer available at brewery only and for a premium price

doesnt mean that i have to like it!!!

the apple mentality of suppressed supply really does annoy me

if you have a quality product, then get it out to the masses

that being said, these guys should be able to self-distribute. the current distribution system is simultaneously the best and worst system for new and innovative brewing

alot can go wrong with sours. Can't just start making huge batches.

of course i understand that aspect

and i understand disdain for distributors and desire to maximize profit

produce what you want to produce, self distribute to where you want within your area, and make your money

a lot more difficult than i'm saying, but it comes off as a little greedy when you once distributed and then you change policy to start keeping more things in house

I see your side. I can also see thier side (high demand with not alot to go around, lets keep it close to home).

I'm guessing that these are test runs and some of these will see some distribution in the next year or two.


eta: its also on par for a brewery to sell the beer for the same price as a store. It would rub shops the wrong way if the brewery were undercutting them.
