Great job Blum on the affiliation with West O. I look for ward to more details this week. I am glad it worked out the way it did with exile.

Please eliminate and ban all purchases from exile from this point forward. They chose sides.

Great pod gents.

Little bit of an overreaction here, but I do like West-O. Should be interesting to see what kind of beer it is

Not exactly sure.
Haven’t stepped foot in one since January 2020, when I needed both a rescue inhaler and my epi pen for the freaking soap bombs.

Also quit buying Exile after their trademark infringement so am ahead of the curve on their Hawk ****
What was their trademark issue? I don't think I have ever had any of their stuff anyhow.

I've already started my boycott on Xile a while back. Hy-Vee is too expensive so I'm fine with that as well. I prefer Casey's anyways, though I love HyVee gas stations.
Yeah, for me these are easy. Neighbors own the ma/pa grocery store so I go there, no Kum and Go in town so it's caseys and the local Co-op (which I get dividends for also) and I don't drink beer much, a case lasts me over a year so I'm fine with no Exile.

Thanks! No need to boycott anyone over this. But yes please support those that go out of their way to help like West O! I think you’ll all enjoy this beer as well and it will support We Will, which is awesome. Hopefully not the last you’ll see of a West O collaboration with Iowa State.

Their Ruthie beer has a real woman’s name, image, and likeness on the can. Her nephew sued for her estate. Exile went to Iowa Supreme Court with it, which ruled they can proceed with the litigation on behalf of the estate. Exile just needs to settle this.

I think you’ll all enjoy this beer as well and over $2 of every “case” will go to We Will, which is awesome. Hopefully not the last you’ll see of a West O collaboration with Iowa State.

Pardon my ignorance but what is west o? Where are they out of and where can I get some?
