The Swam contribution for September fell dramatically. $16,600.

I wonder if your theory on the stock ups was correct? I knew the $50-$60k was unsustainable but can't say I saw it dropping off that much.

Dropped again. $5,400 for October. That’s an insane drop off. They must of overstocked stores like crazy during the summer.

Friday afternoon report: Ames Lager is in the cooler of Cyclone Liquors and there was a four-foot stack of cases in the walk-in cooler of the Ames West Hy-Vee.

And the Ames West Hy-Vee had a stack of trays of We Will Cold Brew just inside their east entrance.

The Ames Lincoln Center Hy-Vee has it on sale today for $9.99. Don’t know what the supply is.

Just got back from Urbandale Hy-Vee. Talked with Jim the Liquor King and he says they haven’t been able to get any for over a month…

Im calling BS on that. Did you notice the large Swarm banner hanging in there?

His store is over priced anyway as he has to make up for his annual booze sale.

I thought that too but then figured if a beer/liquor manager is so petty in a college sports rivalry and won’t sell Iowa State beer - how does he have a job…

Ive been able to buy it the last 3 weeks at the Grimes Hy Vee. I doubt they have a secret code to get more.

Everyone, when you buy Ames Lager make sure you are pulling the remaining 6 packs forward so they are easily seen. I take it a step further and make sure the cans are facing forward so Ames Lager is proudly displayed.
