Don't Panic, Daisy Cutter Fans

2009_07_01_BOTW.jpg Fans of Half Acre’s Daisy Cutter in 16-ounce cans may want to ration their stashes of the popular West Coast style pale ale over the next couple weeks. A fire in a supplier’s warehouse resulted in a shipment of Daisy Cutter cans waiting to be sent to the North Center brewery to be filled was destroyed.

"As a result, we will have about a week with no Daisy cans being shipped to our distributors," Half Acre wrote.

Before fans of Daisy Cutter start collectively panicking keep in mind that the beer will still be available in draft. Bellying up to the bar to enjoy a pint of the nectar isn’t the same as sitting on your front stoop or in a backyard with a couple four-packs on ice and some steaks on the grill. Keep in mind it’s going to be a good summer, all the same, and you’ll be able to grab your Daisy Cutter cans in short order.
