It's a matter of supply. The whole Bay Area is getting one container load month. There was just enought this month for DBI. Mesa gets theirs next month, apparently quite soon. Blatz? I thought that went the way of Hamms and Storz and Falstaff and... About Schlitz. Hasn't been made for a while. Pabst now has the rights and is reintroducing the original sometime soon. Guess it will be brewed in Texas. The distributor is MORRIS DISTRIBUTING CO. PETALUMA 94952 (707) 769-7294 About Dogfish. It’s a matter of supply.

They work their asses off. You’d have a bit of attitude to if you worked as hard as they do." I have been going to major beer events at Toronado for years, and although I love David and his bar, I get extremely frustrated at the shortage of bartenders at these events. The bar was packed for Dogfish, yet once again there were only 2 guys working the bar. I waited 25 minutes to get served, and a guy next to me waited even longer. The bartenders definitely work hard, but I can't for the life of me figure out why David does not bring at least one more in for big events. The person would more than pay for him/her self with quicker service. David's a smart guy, so there must be some practical/logistical reason for using only 2 bartenders. Anybody know?

They finally got the job done, with the help of a Summerian scholar iin 1990. Briefly, it was based on a Summerian prayer to their Goddess Ninkasi in 1800 BC, found on a clay tablet. It was a recipe for beer, Anchor had to commission a farmer in northeast California to grow a kind of ancient barley for the beer. We tried it. Tasted kind of like honey beer and without hops it was barely p[altable.

I seem to recall that Anchor once attempted to recreate an ancient Sumerian recipe found on a clay tablet. Interesting about the Chateau Jiahtu.
