Ames Lager

[GetAwesome]

Anybody in the Cedar Falls/Waterloo area find West O in local stores this summer? Not just Ames Lager, but any West O beers?

I've given up. A few years in of Ames Lager, and still nothing. Local store managers say it's up to distributors (and they just laugh by now each time I ask again), distributors say it's up to the stores, and West O says they've been talking with Fahr since last summer, but still nothing.

I haven't seen a West O beer anywhere in a long time. Happy's used to get them every once in a while but it's been probably a year since I've seen any.

Been to happy’s a few times looking for it and they never have it. So I assume it does not exist there

I can’t speak for Cedar Falls/Waterloo specifically, but I always have luck at HyVee in other towns.

Anybody in the retail business who knows the truth? Is this a matter of a store manager not ordering? Or distributors not offering West O for stores to order?

@ZJohnson
I think I remember you answering this in the past, but couldn’t find the post

@ZJohnson can you enlighten us please.

@ZJohnson can you enlighten us please.

I'd also like to hear from someone with an inside view from a store's perspective.

Hawkeye fan managers giving you the runaround.

That's my suspicion. Just wanting to hear it from someone who is a store manager who has personal experience with how the system works.
