Probably. Nobody in central Louisiana cares about real beer.

Yeah I'd say it's probably a safe bet to get it in Alexandria for a little while. It'd have been nice if Hokus would have done the smart thing and sent a half a case to the other locations and gave themselves 2 cases at their dutchtown location. I have a hard time believing GR will sell really quickly in Lake Chuck and especially so in alexandria.

This is less bottles than we got last year. I thought they were upping the amount produced? I guess GR day took a hit of their supplies as well as additional distributing around the state.


They did up it, and all this was shipped out before GR Day at the brewery. It was supposed to the same amount sent out as last year, with the extra production being at the brewery.

Well thats where the extra went.

How did Calandro's only get 8 bottles? I believe they got 2 or 3 cases last year.

Because Hokus got 3 cases. Hokus requested 3 cases, but was only supposed to get 1, for the BR store only. Somebody mistakenly gave them 3. So the rest of BR's allotment got dinged by those 2 cases. According to Mockler, that's it. No more coming. Some on-premise accounts are getting some too. 2 kegs, likely Pelican House and Chimes East.

You also have to take in account Alexander's and Hokus Pokus wasn't around last year so that's 4 cases that were spread out to other stores last year.

I think I grabbed the first 3. I feel fortunate I was on the road at 10am and just popped in to check.
