Dog days for Dogfish?

Amongst the rumors that came out in yesterday's romp was one that should get fellow NorCal craft beer enthusiasts rather excited: Seems like Vinnie from Russian River is planning on singlehandedly taking on distribution of some breweries that we've long been missing out on, with bottles showing up at select fine beer retail establishments this summer. That means we're finally going to get our grubby little hands on the Dogfish Head, Alesmith, and Pizza Port (meaning Lost Abbey) wares that we've long deserved. When I saw him later at Toronado, I could've kissed him (but I had onion breath).

And, in other DFH-related rumorness, word is that Dave just smuggled a case or two of the much-hyped special release Palo Santo Marron into Healthy Spirits, if you're freaky like that. Strong brown ale aged on Paraguayan wood? In the words of Jack Van Impe - it's a great time to be alive, Rexalla!
