Last Chance: Mikkeller, Dieu du Ciel, 3F, and many others

I've recently been informed that we will no longer have access to the fine beers imported by the Shelton Brothers. This is truly sad news for beer connoisseurs living in the Great State of Vermont! The final round of beers from them is running thin, so I wanted to give people a heads up that this may be your last chance to buy these beers in Vermont for a long while. Here's the list of breweries that we're losing access to:

- Mikkeller
- Dieu du Ciel!
- Les Trois Mousquetaires
- Charlevoix Dominus Vobiscum
- Saint Somwhere
- Achel (Trappist)
- Spezial
- Monchshof
- Mahr's
- Inveralmond
- Coniston (Bluebird Bitter)
- Drie Fonteinen ("3F")
- EKU
- Cantillon (SOLD OUT)
- Nogne O (SOLD OUT)
- Jolly Pumkin (SOLD OUT)
- Beer Here (SOLD OUT)
- Theriez (SOLD OUT)

Cheers!
Jeff

How come?

Dieu du Ciel is in Montreal, right? No other way to get it?

I'd also like to know what's up with the distributor. Is this affecting all Burlington-area beer outlets or just Winooski Bev?

Hoping to get one of the last bottles of Achel tomorrow (need to stop by the homebrew stop). *crosses fingers*

Unfortunately, this is going to affect the whole state of VT, not just our shop. I'm not really sure exactly what has happened, but it means that the Shelton Brothers (importer) will not be sending beer to any wholesalers in VT for the foreseeable future. I can't get a clear answer from them and my contact there is on vacation right now.

B. - DDC is in fact in Montreal. The only way to get it now is going to be to drive North or South (MA will still have their products available). It's not that they're not being imported any more, it's just that there is a link missing in the chain of supply for VT now.
