New OREgasmic brews and news!

Well, if that didn't get your attention, I don't know what will! New adds this weekend:
+ Chatoe Rogue "OREgasmic Ale" 22oz (Limited Release)
+ Victory Sunrise Weissbier 6 pack (Seasonal)
+ Peak Organic Summer Session Ale 6 pack
+ Molson "X" 8.2oz cans 8 pack
- Anchor Summer 6 packs
- Cisco Brewers Summer of Lager 22oz

Back from MIA status:
- Gritty McDuff's Brown and Pub Style 22oz bombers

A few updates about some other brews:
- Manchester Brewing, the people who brought you the Peppermint Stout and others, has closed up shop and will no longer be available. And I'm sorry to say that we do not have access to any remaining inventory. **UPDATE** I reached out to the brewers at Manchester and he says they did close for a few months, but have re-opened on a "slow schedule" but did not elaborate further. My guess is that we won't be seeing the beers in VT any more either way.
- Koningshoeven (Trappist) is changing their labels to be inline with their European offerings. These beers will soon (2 weeks) be available under the brewery's true name "La Trappe" - not to be confused with Trapp Lager of Vermont. We do still have some of the remaining Koningshoeven bottles on our shelves, but these won't last long and have become instant collector's items. Don't hesitate to stash some in your cellar as these beers will all improve with a few (maybe 10) years!
- Heavy Seas and Oxford Organics, both sub-labels of Clipper City Brewing, will no longer be available for sale in Vermont. We still have a little of each left in-house but will not be able to re-order any more.
- And finally - some GOOD NEWS: We got the official word today that Abita Brewing Co. will soon be available in Vermont! These are the fine folk from New Orleans that brew such tasty numbers as Turbodog, Purple Haze Raspberry Wheat and Jockamo IPA! We can't wait!

Cheers!
Jeff

Replying here because it's the most recent post with reference to Gritty McDuff's.

Just a suggestion. I was in Maine a few weeks ago and picked up a mix pack that contained Gritty's Halloween Ale. WOW. It's an amazing ESB. You should look into getting some of those. It's in season. ;)
