I also heard rumors that DFH did not have the capacity at the time. I hope that's just a rumor, and DFH will be available without issues this time around. Now if we an just get Stone and Ommegang around here.... I’ve heard about the distributor issue as well (I think the same distributor had Yellowstone Valley).

That's not the reason DFH is no longer available here in MN. It was related to their distributor and they will be back around the end of 2007. I talked to the 3 owners of the Happy Gnome a couple weeks back over several beers. They seem to know what their doin' with the beer so I don't think your gonna see any problems with that in the future. “New (and generally tasty) breweries have such a time selling here, examples are Dogfish Head and Brewery Ommegang, that you never see them.”

Hopefully this new competition will make them both BETTER beer bars. They're both good bars within reasonable walking distance from each other on a nice spring/summer/fall day. Combined with a brief stop at the outdoor area at Sweeney's, the Selby/Dale area of St. Paul is one hell of a good pub crawl. But in my opinion, the G-nome kicks the crap outta the Pig. Come on now Firkin Thursdays? What's the Pig got on that? Also, their bunch on that deck is fantastic. But then again, I'm the type of guy who likes to get the day started with a Delirium Tremens.
