Lost Abbey – Lost Abbey has begun to kick off their bottle and tap expansion in the state of Georgia. This was supposed to kick off last week, but bad weather delayed it slightly. Of note, Trappeze Pub and Brickstore Pub will have Lost Abbey beer on tap. Tomme Arthur was at the kick off event a few nights ago at Brickstore and will be spotted around the circuit this week. We know for sure Savannah Distribution is placing this on the shelves they deliver finer beer to.
Stone Brewing – From Stone’s Facebook Page regarding their upcoming collaboration with Green Flash and Pizza Port: ” Green Flash / Pizza Port-Carlsbad / Stone Highway 78 Scotch Ale now lives in 12 oz. bottles, which bear a charming new design scheme. Full of rich, malty goodness, this all North County San Diego collab hits shelves & taps Feb. 14th.” Follow this link for the picture featuring the tweaked label scheme.

To better serve our customers we are releasing 12 ounce bottles and draft simultaneously this year. We have spread the distribution over several weeks and all markets will have Nugget Nectar in stock by the week of January 31. Twenty-two ounce bottles start shipping the week of January 17 and will be available in all markets by early February.”
Arbor Brewing – Arbor brewing has finally released their release and party schedule for 2011. Follow this link to see Arbor’s Google Apps page with a downloadable schedule.
AleSmith – In a correction from our news of AleSmith bottle line upgrades, we found out that the bottle dating feature was outside of AleSmith’s budget, and is a feature that will be purchased at a later date.
Flying Fish – Flying Fish is brewing their next Exit Series for release in March. They have their lips sealed on what style and what NJ Turnpike it will be honoring.
Brau Brothers – In the next few weeks we’ll be releasing MooJoos Oatmeal Milk Stout. MooJoos blends the silky smooth characteristics of an Oatmeal Stout with the sweet, round body of a Milk Stout. Many pilot batches were brewed before we settled on a final recipe. MooJoos will be available in bottle and draft.
