MSN Hotmail - Message

Further proof of my Slow Descent into Alcoholism. I emailed the rep for Deschuttes Brewing, makers of Black Butte Porter.

Even better, they emailed me back, in a rather detailed and good message.

"Thanks for your interest in our brews, and thank you for taking the time to contact us. We've been in the Southern Californian market for about 2 months now. Slowly but surely we're gaining a great deal of momentum. Within the Santa Monica Area you can find us at these bars, Father's Office (Black Butte Porter draft), Ocean Ave Seafood (Black Butte Porter draft), BOA (Mirror Pond Pale Ale btls), Hooter's (Black Butte Porter draft), Barney's Beanery (Black Butte Porter btls), The Daily Pint (Black Butte Porter draft).

Here are some other accounts around LA, Westwood Brew Company (Black Butte, and Mirror Pond draft), Myogi's (Black Butte Porter draft), Barney's Beanery West Hollywood (Mirror Pond draft, Black Butte btls).

How did you become familiar with our brands? Are you from the North West?

I will be having a tasting at, The Wine Store on May 2end. We will be including about 8 of our beers which are not available in this market, if your interested let me know and I'll forward you the info.
