MAP Brewing Co./Bobcat Collective Beer Design

[Cataholic]

Not Bad for a Bobcat fan, acknowledging a post ribbing the program you follow's lack of properly responding to coaches' DUI issues. Can't believe they would be so blind sighted to launch a collaboration with a brewery.

Given the way the Gris program handed the DUI of basketball player Connor Dick, you might want to examine your program before attacking ours.

Bump.

Hey, June is over and July is going fast. The tailgating crowd is going to be looking for that tailgating brew very soon now.

We are close Joe! Announcements coming shortly.

We're excited to announce that the design is finalized, the cans are in production, and the brewing of Tailgater Golden Ale is officially underway! More details to come. Thanks to all who provided input!

Was this one of the AI ones?

Honoring the historic East grandstand side of the stadium too. The only part of the stadium to witness two National Championship teams.

AWESOME!

Will this be available anywhere outside of Bozeman?

MAP self distributes. If you can't get any MAP where you are now you won't get this one. Even if you do get Party or Midas Crush I doubt this will occupy shelf space those beers have.

Will this be available anywhere outside of Bozeman?

As prodigal said, they self distribute and only in the Bozeman area. I did see it in Costco in Helena at one point so that may be a possibility?

I just ran into a MAP guy and talked about this a bit. They are very excited, but rightfully it sounded like maybe a little nervous as well. Makes sense as they have never done anything like this before.

It was a quick convo but my understanding is that to begin with, only the R-Bar will have this beer on tap. They will be exclusive. As far as the 6pk cans go, he said that again to start, they were looking to just have placement in a few places. Sounded like a couple Town and Countrys and the Cats Paw will be the only place to get these when they are first released. Don't quote me on this as there could be more but these are the names I recall and I know he said they were just looking for a few locations to start.

Obviously if they take off like I happen to think they will, they'll do another run and I imagine expand to other locations. At least for the canned beer. R Bar may have struck a deal to be the only location for draft beer but I have no idea personally.

I'd expect we start seeing the cans in a few locations in a few weeks. Think this is going to be great.

Some Tailgater News:

We will be launching the Tailgater Beer at the Rocking R Bar tomorrow as part of our watch party event. You can also find Tailgater on tap at The Rhino in Belgrade. Those two locations are currently are exclusive partners carrying Tailgater on tap.

We should have additional information next week about pre-orders and our partners who will be carrying the beer locally in stores.
