I've tried Galco's and too many bars-with-enormous-beer-lists to mention, so does anybody have anything positive to report about ever seeing this available out here? Fri Jul 28 20:30:26 -0700 2006 12853 mr mouther 1 1774367 Haven't seen it out here. According to their website, they only distribute to 5 or 6 midwestern states and nothing reaches the West Coast. I had some Bell's Oberon recently but that was brought over by a friend in a suitcase. If you find some, definitely let me know.

I don't know how that would work logistically, since it's a small operation. But their beers are unbeatable, albeit somewhat expensive. I recall their Porter and the Third Coast Old Ale (Barley-style wine, similar to Sierra's Bigfoot) with particular fondness.

I will definitely write Larry Bell, though I really wish a bar would just step up and buy several cases (though I guess they have their hands tied by distributors?)
