Nicely done. Time to open your own brewery... Ball's.

I am sure your beers rock but if complimenting my father in-law's beers got me in his good graces I'd deffinitely do it

I get so many people asking me for Bell's beer...I have to tell them "trust me, if i could bring it in I would." I lived in Kalamazoo for a time and Oberon/Two Hearted (along with SNPA) we're the beers that educated me that beer actually can have taste. They are distributing in Arizona now so I have hope...Colorado is such a hard market to start in but a brewery like Bell's I believe would be just fine...

Congrats... I think I can top that. My son-in-law likes my beers so much he actually started to brew himself. His first batch was ready to drink last night.

My guess is you'll be getting Bell's pretty soon.ArticleTheir planning to increase capacity 5-fold in the next 5 years and it looks like a big chunk of that will be happening this year. I think we'll all be getting Bell's pretty soon.

I can remember first getting into craft beer before I was 21. I had some Oberon right after Bells dropped the Chicago market and I thought it was a great beer. Now...It's just not the same. I really think they changed the recipe after coming back to Chicago. That, and Bells is pretty expensive. Most of the Bells at my liquor store is $10 for a sixer. I can get a lot of other great beers for $7 or $8 a sixpack. Honestly, Bells makes some pretty good beers, but I haven't bought from them since batch 8000.
