Re: Personal dumping challenge this spring
Agree, so many small breweries that canned for short windows. Have yet to meet anyone that's dug a Rib Mtn, Arrowhead or Ziegler's. Believe many of these were shipped west including Milwaukee Valley which has been dug in CA a few times. Pulled out a Sternewirth Beer King last trip up there....so may...
