The Cove bootlegs it from Texas. Mockler releases it in April.

Negative ghost rider. It won't be released in kegs and 6 pks in Louisiana until May 20. Only avalible in bombers on April 1. Cove must be bootlegging if they have it. New Belgium always starts their roll out with bombers only. It's keeps the tradition of how they started out selling it in the back of the owner's wife's car (Kim, now CEO of New Belgium). They don't make special deals with anyone. And if anyone let it out of the warehouse early they would probably be fired very quickly. It will hit stores tomorrow.

Who has a written contract? The Cove? No they don't. I work in sales for the distributor. If you're familiar with beer laws at all, you'd know that what you are saying is highly illegal. The bar cannot buy beer from or sign a contract with the brewery. Exclusivity contracts are also not legal, no matter who they are signed with.

Wrong. We would put at risk a billion dollar business to sign an exclusivity contract that would absolutely benefit us in no way what so ever? New Belgium will NOT sell us kegs at this time. We won't even take a check a penny over the invoices amount because its against the law.

It was worked out between new belgium and the cove. I am actually not sure it is exclusive. I was told by New Belgium executive they have only allowed it with us but cannot vouch for this. Just know we have it and a WRITTEN Contract signed by new belgium and distributor.

It's not happening. If this word got out, we would lose too much credibility with our retailers. Not to mention the legality of the issue.
