Hayfield Kölsch tastes like the poster, not the sample
The rep brought a sample in March. The actual shipment tastes completely different — and we're not mad about it.
Westbrook Doppelbock disappeared between Monday and Thursday
Forty-eight bottles on Tuesday morning. Zero by end-of-shift Thursday. No signage, no promotion.
Invoice matched the truck — boxes did not
Paperwork said Valleybrook Pilsner in twenty-twos. The pallets delivered twelve-ounce cans and a shrug from the driver.
Thornhill Amber landed at 26 IBU — here's the pour
Fresh off the truck with a malt profile that surprised the entire team. We opened a sample bottle before the cases hit the cooler.
Ironclad Märzen showed up two weeks early
Nobody ordered it for April, but twenty cases landed on the dock this morning and the team already cracked the first six-pack.
Clipboard says twenty cases, shelf holds nineteen
Inventory mismatch on Thornhill Amber — the numbers don't line up and I'm not sure they need to.
Riverside Bock arrived at 28 IBU with caramel I can't stop thinking about
The spec sheet said toasted malt and moderate bitterness. Nobody warned us about the caramel finish that lingers for thirty seconds.
Fourteen cases moved — not the ones we expected
Turnover report showed two surprises: the ale we weren't pushing and the lager we thought would walk out faster.
Copperline Witbier: Belgian yeast and a coriander note
Light, hazy, and already moving faster than we expected—this wheat beer hits every summer note without trying too hard.
Greenfield Dunkel pours darker than the photo promised
We cracked a test bottle after unloading and discovered the label shot undersold this one by at least three shades. Roasty, smooth, and better than advertised.
Meadowbrook Schwarzbier: 24 IBU that drinks like smoke
A German dark lager that clocks in mild on paper but delivers roasted malt and campfire whispers all the way through the finish.
Delivery manifest said 18 cases, dock count says 19
Extra case showed up Thursday morning with no paperwork. Checked twice, still there.
Ridgeline Lager sold sixteen cases in four days
We doubled the order. It's already half gone.
Fieldstone Kölsch is back and the team is thrilled
We just unpacked eighteen cases of Fieldstone Kölsch — crisp, clean, and exactly what the front cooler needed. This one moves fast, so swing by soon.
Stonegate Pilsner arrived with the wrong IBU on the label
Brewery printed 28 IBU. My palate says 31, maybe 32. We opened six bottles to confirm.
Cooler two, middle shelf, every Wednesday
Same six people buy the same kolsch every week. I moved it once and got questions.
Tallgrass Helles arrived at 18 IBU, not 19
The spec sheet said 19. The liquid says otherwise. Here's what I'm tasting at eighteen.
Reserve your Memorial Day six-pack before we run out
The cooler's stocked for the long weekend, and we've already seen two runs on the Hefeweizen. Get ahead of the rush.
Three cases that moved without anyone noticing
The cooler tells a different story than the front display. Here's what actually left the building this week.
Four things that didn't move this week
Priya checks the cooler data and finds the stragglers—good beer that somehow stayed put while everything else walked.
What walked out the door Tuesday
Priya restocked twice. The pils did not need a speech.
Sunset Pils is a team favorite (I checked)
Mitch tasted it thrice and declared it civic infrastructure.
