Well, I'll support the brewer because:carguy wrote:I tried it last summer, and it was good, but my hard earned money is going to go to more deserving micro-breweries, not Molson.
A) they took a risk on mass marketing an unfiltered lager beer. This went against all marketing trend research.
B) I love Kellerbier and, Zwickel, they are under represented/appreciated styles that, when done right, are lush big taste lagers.
C) Maybe Creemore/Molson's success with this beer will shoot a spark up local craft brewer's collective arses and get them looking at the Germanic big lager genre as being just as viable in style popularity as big ales.
Aventinus rules!

Second this. Knowing what a Molson would be capable of producing if they thought there was money in making good beer is enough to make me pick up a bunch of these.pootz wrote: Well, I'll support the brewer because:

I laughed really hard when I read this. Yesterday when I asked a female clerk if she could check in the back for the Kellerbier shipment, she gruffly replied "if it's not on the shelf, we don't have it." This was at the same store where I was told that Schneider Edel-Weiss was not in stock yet. After prodding a little more, the clerk came out with five cases (60 beers).pootz wrote:Not surprising the consummate pros at the 'BO have no listing or stock levels for this item yet.

While she should be checking if a customer requests, 99% of the time, she is right.
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

I don't doubt it Len. I've just become sceptical at this particular location (Wonderland) because they've had stuff sitting in the back when they've told me it's not in the store yet. On a completely different note, we need to have some beers soon!SteelbackGuy wrote: While she should be checking if a customer requests, 99% of the time, she is right.
