Long story short our distributor kind of F'ed us in regards to a very large order we were about to place. Looking for a hook up to get some solid German beer to sell at an upcoming Oktoberfest event in Metairie. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't you run the risk of bootlegging if you go outside of the approved network?

The whole system sucks.

They will be the only distributor you can get that beer. But lets say it was from a budweiser distributor, you might be able to get some from another bud distributor on the north shore or Baton Rouge through a store front. How many kegs do you need?

Too bad about the SNAFU on your order.
While not actually German, Yueng Ling makes a very good Oktoberfest and I have seen it around town.
Also, you night call the Deutsches Haus to see if you can piggyback on their order.
