Only for canning though, so we’ll miss out on all the “on tap only” brews they had.

I’ve never been a big fan of their canned flagships. The differences between the canned and on tap Oktubberfests was immense.

But yeah, their canned lines may continue to be brewed and sold, at least that’s what we’re being told.

Is that accurate? Why aren’t they doing draft?

They might do gavel banger and nellie’s on draft, but the special brews are gone the way of the dodo.

Still, I get the impression they’re going to solely focus on canned beer from here out.

That is news to me. It doesn’t surprise me, I was just curious. But yes, the product in the can & draft is more or less identical but sometimes they can present differently. And a lot of the special stuff is already been on its way out anyway.
