Sad News

Looks like my favorite beer of all time will probably not return.

Sorry, Ray, STILL no good news. There's talk it may come back in draught form for our restaurant, The Gasthaus, but so far that's all we've heard. No doubt we'll know more by the end of Summer as we transition into OKTO and prepare for our new Winter seasonal (it's called Brrr), but I still wouldn't get your hopes up.

Dear Widmer Bros.,

Did you change your minds? Snow Plow is by far my favorite beer. Not bringing it back would be a tragedy of epic proportions! Well, maybe that is a slight exaggeration, but I sure would miss it, and I know a lot of others would as well.

Sincerely,

Ray

Thanks for your email, Ray.

Sorry to hear about your "predicament", but things might not be as dire as you think because we're actually in 48 of the 50 states, including Maryland!

Alas, the Snow Plow issue is a tad more...vexing. Not only is the Snow Plow season over (it was pulled and replaced in early January by our W '08 seasonal), but rumor has it that Snow Plow will NOT be back as the 2008 / 2009 Winter seasonal! Unless Kurt, Rob, and the folks in sales and marketing change their mind it appears that Snow Plow will join the ranks of Hop Jack, Winternacht, Blonde, and a few others as beers whose end came far too soon.

Sorry I don't have better news.

Prost!

Question/Comment: I recently moved from the Portland area to Baltimore, and I miss your beers, especially Snow Plow! Is there any way to order a case?
