Ames Lager

I appreciate people posting these when they find some, but I'm guessing there's a 99% chance that by the time it's posted, read, and someone goes there to attempt to find the Ames Lager, it's already sold out.
You could be right. Just from my 5 or so years of living in Dubuque though, I very seldom see ISU fans out and about, or at least ones who are public about it. People wearing ISU t-shirts, hats, ISU flags in peoples yards, ISU personalized license plates etc. You never know, AL may not go as fast out here. That said though, they may not be bringing as much product in either, compared to other places, so could be what you're saying is correct.
I think what you are saying is somewhat true for the Des Moines area, but probably less so anywhere else in the state
I think he'd be willing to if demand warranted it. Whenever I was back home I used to stop in and talk to him about any craft beers he had on his shelf. I think he'd be willing to stock more but no one buys them.
(although I'm guessing the post that started this conversation was just a reason to say Sac Liquor - I drove by that place for years and never connected the humor in the name until I saw it posted on college humor)
I grabbed some in Ankeny today based on something that was posted in this thread.
University liquors in West Des Moines has some left as of right now. Don’t think most people know about this spot
Still nothing in Southern Iowa. Clonefest sold out in a day. We thirsty down here. Swarm is stacked up everywhere.
Thanks, just grabbed the last 6 pack!
I never knew that liquor store was tucked in there.
At least I have my Ames Lager koozie so I can pretend I'm actually drinking it.
I concur. I've talked to the West O bosses. These guys really care about the Ames Lager product. I have been very impressed at what they have done so far. It will be interesting to see how sustained the demand is after this initial rush . . . which has been very fun to watch!
I’ve talked with the east hyvee guys. They definitely carry it but it sounds like when they get it, it vanishes quickly. They told me their last shipment was gone in an hour or 2.
I think this should be noted by every cyclone fan. The larger brewers were asked and declined due to not wanting to alienate half the state. Screw them. They just alienated the other ‘half’ of the state by declining.
Cyclone fans should support all West O products. Not a fan of
lagers, they have other great options.
Go Cyclones!
The West O Smoked Red is really good and I have been drinking that for years.
Got some in Iowa City. Walked right past the thousands of swarm cans to find the small display of the Ames lager.
