That’s unfortunate. In the podcast they did with Chris it sounded like they would have it during the football season ... mentioned making it for tailgating. Hope they can rename (due to c&d) and still make it... would be fun to have an ISU beer.
You bastards, I was going to have brunch and try it today and it's all gone. All joking aside congratulations on the turnout and the money raised! I just hope they brew another batch soon!
Maybe CW can change it to "Firmly Intrenched", with a picture of Blum surrounded by irate hok fans after one of his tweets.
I'm thinking after we beat the hawks this year they should make one called hawk tears.
Beer gets released to much hype, crazy circumstances cause it to disappear suddenly. Exactly like the Chizik era. Perfectly named beer.
I'm going to be in Chicago this week and really close to this place. Hope to give the owner a few of my thoughts. Pete at Barntown was very professional and courteous when I talked with him about it, but I'm still very frustrated by the guy in Chicago who robbed so many Cyclone fans of this opportunity.
Guys -
Thanks to all who came out and I apologize to those who were turned away. The great news is, out turnout was so awesome that BarnTown is already excited about throwing a bigger and better party next year. Of course, we will want to work in the charitable aspect as well. I think it adds a lot to it. Gives the whole day a cause, which I love.
We will be more prepared for the crowd next year, I promise. Thanks again to those who came out. You guys are the best. The beer was really good too!

No kidding. How did that discussion go? It's not like the run for the beer was going to damage their business in anyway.
So did they drink it all? I mean getting rid of perfectly good beer is pretty much a Cardinal sin around here.
Yeah, I called Barn Town around 7 hoping the rush would be gone but the tap was empty by then.
Planning on releasing Transfer Brew in December. Will be a very different style. The goal is to have a series of these beers.
I've heard beer industry guys talk about this and it's a real problem. There's only so many words in the English language that can be used to describe beer. And someone has pretty much used them all.
I found a search online and Alarmist Brewing has trademarked the word "Entrenched." So I get them wanting to maintain that. Even if it doesn't make sense.
This guy is pretty threatening. Ready to sweep in and steal all that business on the north side of Chicago.
Seriously, I understand that you lose some of the strength of your legal standing to protect your trademark if you knowingly don't do anything to protect it. This has more to do with making sure Alarmist has a strong case if they ever need to exert themselves legally against anyone using the term "Entrenched." Still don't like that a single word like that can be controlled by a little operation.
Their name IS Alarmist, I can only imagine what kind of people the owners are...
