Only for one brew, and only for Chicago.
Dogfish Head and Three Floyds will brew Popskull, a limited-batch German-style brown ale, at Three Floyds’ Munster, Ind., brewery Thursday. The beer, aimed at hardcore micro-brew fanatics, will be sold at the Munster brewery and possibly some select Chicago-area retailers and bars.
“These are two shining stars in the beer world and both are very popular in Chicago,” said Jerry Glunz, general manager of Louis Glunz Beer Inc., a Lincolnwood distributor that works with both companies. “They are both very innovative brewers and people are very excited to see what they will produce.”
Lincoln Anderson, a sales and marketing representative with Three Floyds, said Popskull is a slightly sweet, high-alcohol malt beer. He estimates a 22-oz. bottle will sell for $12 to $25.

This is the first I’ve heard of these guys. We’ll have to take a closer gander as they are about two and a half hours west of Enkidu. They seem to be running a decent little spot with cheap taps and live music.
Via Pisgah blog:
We ordered 22 bottles today to take the next step and get our Pale Ale in more hands. Thanks again for voting us the best brewery in Western NC. More beer is on the way. They will be our usual - unfiltered and bottle conditioned!

Damn kids.
The brewer has stopped serving samples in hospitality centers at its Busch Gardens and SeaWorld theme parks. The reason: It had limited appeal among park patrons, spokesman Fred Jacobs said. Underlying meaning: It wasn’t profitable.
Instead, Anheuser-Busch will build more restaurants and attractions geared toward families with kids.

A new brew is coming to Council Bluffs, and its made right here in Iowa.
Officials of Ames-based Olde Main Brewing Co. have announced plans to bring its beers, along with its root beer, to local bars, restaurants and grocery stores.
“We’re expanding our distribution in this area,’’ said company spokesperson Jill Haverkamp. “It’s working its way in right now.’’
The beers fall into the category of the ever-popular craft beer industry, Haverkamp said. “Craft beer is becoming much more popular. People are starting to look at beer like they look at wine.’’
Among the flavors people can enjoy, she said, includes Dinkey Wheat, a Belgium-styled wheat ale that’s light in color with a light citrus taste, she said.
