Re: The OFFICIAL Craft Beer Thread

I didn't go to Hunahpu, or any of the Beer Week events last week, but Whole Foods did have Last Snow Porter on tap from Funky Buddha. It was a damn fine beer. A coconut and coffee porter, with neither of those tastes overwhelming the beer. I was at Huna Day. The 'fest was ok, but the bottle shares ...

Re: The OFFICIAL Craft Beer Thread

Yes, distributors can offer volume discounts or incentives to sway stores into a larger share of shelf space. But, the reality is that beer has a shelf life. And beer buyers are particular. If an AB distributor convinced a store to give them 100% shelf space, they would lose a lot of customers(most...
