I've heard the final decision has not been made, but we'll know Friday which distributor is going to have them, and surely it will be in state fairly shortly thereafter.

Crown got it, and they say 2 weeks for it to hit stores.

This came out last week. It's a shame bc they could care less about beer. I was talking to one of there reps today and he couldn't even name 2 of the >6% beers he was selling. He said, "could care less about the beer, it's a fad that wont last long, I'm not putting much time into it". He late told me he'd only sell it into accounts that asked for it.

so i'm guessing Montgomery won't be getting any Chimay anytime Hopefully we get something other than what we have. Its good, but not as good as the stuff you guys in Bham get.

Crown delivers to Montgomery. You should get it.

Well it does seem the fellow you talked to doesn't care about beer. But you seem to be painting the entire company with a broad brush, which I would caution against. I know some of the guys over there who do care about beer.
