  1. 01Three cases that moved without anyone noticingThe cooler tells a different story than the front display. Here's what actually left the building this week.
  2. 02Pallet math and the case that shouldn't existInventory says we have eighteen. The cooler says we have nine. The distributor's invoice says we signed for twenty-four.
  3. 03The Porter nobody asked about, restocked anywayEmber Ridge Porter moved six cases last month without a single question at the counter. Sometimes the quiet ones do fine.
  4. 04Four things that didn't move this weekPriya checks the cooler data and finds the stragglers—good beer that somehow stayed put while everything else walked.
  5. 05Truck was late — notes from the dockLen waited. The sour arrived. The blog post arrived later.
  6. 06Wrote this after closing, sorryBo remembered the post. The marketing plan did not survive the remembering.
  7. 07What walked out the door TuesdayPriya restocked twice. The pils did not need a speech.
  8. 08A soft apology to the 45 IBU crowdDez meant the bitterness scale. The apology is for the paragraph after.
  9. 09This week’s call to action (please use it)Kara rolled out Hold a case. The case is metaphorical. The urgency is real.
  10. 10Sunset Pils is a team favorite (I checked)Mitch tasted it thrice and declared it civic infrastructure.
