I heard West-O is going to be opening a location in CyTown

Any truth to that @brentblum

They'll be able to pay the lease with Ames Lager proceeds alone.

There are certainly conversations about that! Would be a dream to see them there if it comes together.

SIAP... it is NOT at Benz. And I just picked the only 6pack of clonefest. Based on employee comments, I wouldn't expect them to carry either going forward.

They must not like making money or getting traffic in their store. Weird.

Really striking out on this today

Sounds like many places will be getting more Monday

They currently have it at Wheatsfield in Ames. I just grabbed a couple.

@brentblum any word on kegs? My sons and I drink a lot and would be interested. We have a kegerator in our kitchen and watch our old football highlight tapes every night. I was the starting LB and RB for the 1990 class A runner up mallard high ducks

 

[I@ST1]

Will they announce how much money was raised from this?

Live look at the Busch light distributor........

I was thinking about this. Busch Light sales in the state are definitely going to take a hit.

My daughter and son-in-law just texted me that they just bought a 12 pack for me and are coming out to visit us next weekend. can’t wait to try it

Anyone had Clonefest by Backpocket? Any good? At a bar and that's one of their options.

First impression was an ashes bitterness that I didn’t like but after sticking with it I found it good enough. I don’t think they are doing themselves a favor but putting out an oktoberfest vibe.

I think it's good, maybe not great, but good. Refreshing. I'm drinking one right now and would buy it again. Looking forward to the Ames Lager once my local hy-vee gets it in next week.

The wife bought 2 6 packs last night, she drank 2 of them I drank the rest. Whoops

@brentblum thanks you!

As someone who hasn't drank beer from a can since probably the mid 90s I'll ask a dumb question. What is the plastic piece on top of the can? Does it just pop off and then underneath is a regular flip up opener like on a pop can or is there some crazy new beer can technology I missed?
