I believe Lagunitas should be coming from Chicago, so could be a shipping issue. Could be a storage issue. But 40 days as you said should be ok. I'm starting to become more and more of a fan of canned craft beers. Stays fresher longer for sure.

I read the Dogfish thing yesterday. They get capital for a small part of the company, which I assume that Dogfish can buy them back out at anytime. Sounds like a marketing thing more than anything else.

We're getting to a point where bigger dogs will start buying up smaller dogs and thin out the herd so to speak. Hopefully (not counting on it), the quality does not go down hill...
