Hey Stu,
I don’t think these are for resale…they’re other cans have labels. I think this was an anniversary brew, and they decided to bless a few folks with a taste. I agree though, I love the plain look of them.

Awesome cans. How do they sell it? Or did they just ship you a sample from cans yet to be printed on?

I was not going to say anything, but you guys deserve to know…Buckbean has been collecting saliva samples from all us beer bloggers via a private investigator. All samples have been analyzed, and only those revealing superior genes in the area of taste perception/palate are being sent samples.

Sorry boys…

Nice review, Nate. It sounds like good stuff for sure.

I know Don enjoyed the samples Buckbean sent him, but I never received mine.

@Scott, maybe it’s a NJ thing, because the PR folks said they sent some my way but it never arrived. I’m trying again. I want to try their stuff!

I just emailed these guys last night after realizing why I hadn’t gotten my promised sample. I sent them an address and they asked for a phone number, too. I neglected to send them one. Now, I hope I get a brew or two.

I’m pretty sure the can was promotional for celebrating the brewery’s anniversary, but I’m not exactly sure. I actually got that glass back when I tended bar…the distributors would always drop of stuff like that to us when they cleaned the lines or made a delivery. I’ve also got Chiefs one. I like to dress them up in uniforms and pretend they are linemen going head to head in the last moments of a game.

Cool! I was hoping to score a sample from them – sent the email and nothing. Anyway, looks and sounds like a winner. Is the can strictly promotional, or is that the way its going to be marketed? (Word on the street is you are a closet Rams fan – its OK)
