Grimes Spirits and Liquors is anticipating a shipment today.

Did Iowa fans ever boycott Busch Light when ISU fans were obsessed with it?

Did Iowa fans ever boycott Busch Light when ISU fans were obsessed with it?

No, because they're equally obsessed with it.

Yesterday a manager (I think) at Hy-Vee in Marshalltown told me she put an order in for today but doubt she gets any because "they are sending it all to Jack Trice".

 

[DSMCy]

Will most places get weekly shipments?
Wondering when I should check Hyvees in WDM again.

 

[urb1]

OK- Urbandale was supposed to MAYBE get a shipment today. Keep us posted if anyone sees anything in the metro. I may use my lunch break to make a run if there's anything nearby.

I was in there around 9:00. Nothing.

 

[CRcyclone6]

I have two sixers on the counter...what's your bid?

I have 18 in in the trunk of my car!

 

[CYCLNST8]

My aunt-in-law was able to score a sixer for me this morning! Cedar Rapids HyVee on Wilson has a couple stacks.

Certainly reached out and asked all the larger brewers. They were not interested in alienating half the state essentially. Or were not prepared to get something spun up in time for Football season. West O has been a great partner and is invested in Iowa State’s success. Appreciate everyone’s support. Supply will get better in the weeks ahead!

Hopefully didn’t sound like I was question the effort to reach out. WestO has been great and love the beer! And love everything you do Blum, it’s extremely appreciated!

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I’m really surprised WestO was the only option for this beer. Someone like Confluence would’ve killed it brewing this. Someone smarter than me might be able to explain but a small brewery in an isolated part of the state was an odd choice. Don’t get me wrong, picked some up on Friday and drank through 6 four packs very quickly over the weekend, but odd, nonetheless.

I've thought the same, but somehow they managed to get some clear across to the other border of the state. Not sure why some parts of the state have been struggling so much more than others.

What took her so long?

What took her so long?

It's Marshalltown.

Marion Hy-Vee liquor manager was hoping to get some next week but his distributor sales rep just told him that the 300 cases they received sold out nearly immediately before he could get any shipped out.

 

[Cy Hard]

Polk City Liquor still has some sixers left!

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Anyone know if Sac Liquor has any Ames Lager?

Appreciate it and know you were coming from a good spot! Worth letting everyone know that although the beer is a great boost, the individual monthly contributions to We Will are what makes the largest impact. I wish we could sell enough beer to cover our entire budget, but it just doesn't quite add up ...please tell your tailgate crews the same!

Still nothing at 1:00 PM at the Urbandale Hy-vee

I doubt Charlie would ever carry that or more than a couple craft beers...

The Hy-Vee Asbury location in Dubuque is fully re-stocked. Just checked less than an hour ago (and picked up a couple more 6ers)
