I read last week that Bridgeport was expanding distribution into KS and
other states in the region...this was confirmed last week by the manager
at Goebels here in Wichita stating Bridgeport was on its way.
We get unibroue down here but I haven't seen any of the ephemere's...(had
traded a few years ago for the apple and a couple of others, was unaware
there was a black currant one). Was that in Gomers Kansas or in the
Missouri side?
(sounds like its about time I made a drive up to Gomers, MO, and maybe a
stop in at Free State while I'm at it)
