Lagunitas Olde Gnarly Wine

It's coming soon [perhaps tomorrow], but we're not going to have much. I don't know why, but Lagunitas either didn't brew much this year, or the local demand is increasing. Whatever the cause, it's drastically reduced the amount of Gnarly Wine that'll reach the Portland market. I'm told there is one pallet coming in (roughly 60 cases I think), and no store in the state will receive more than five cases. Given the number of people who call or stop in to ask about it I don't think it will be anywhere near enough supply to satisfy the thirsty masses.

The number one market for Lagunitas has been Portland for many years [yes, we drink more of it than they do in the Bay Area], and we've had our loyalty repaid with ample supplies of their specialty brews until now. Sadly for us, as the folks in Cali finally catch on to the fact that they have some excellent breweries down there I think beers from "hot" companies like AleSmith, Lagunitas, and Stone are going to be harder to get ahold of here in Oregon. I guess the moral of the story is to enjoy your favorite beers today because you'll never know if it'll be available tomorrow.
