New Belgium did just complete a major brewery expansion and there's been some talk (from sources I think reliable) on the street about the company having plans to expand their distribution area in 2008 and 2009 to include the NYC to DC corridor as well, but the folks at NBB are very coy and noncommittal when you ask them directly.

The bevmo stores out here in southern california have bitburger and warsteiner non alcoholic. When I know ill have a hectic day the next day ill relax with those two since they taste like the real thing. Its also funny to give one to a person who already has had three plus beers and just watch them think there drunk
According to him, while it wasn't great the Bitburger N/A was what kept him sane. That, and hitching rides on military flights going to Germany when he could manage a few days off.

I drank NA beer in solidarity with my wife when she was pregnant and I thought they all tasted like hay.

But, I anticipate that this will have to be a side trip on the day before the game.
On second thought, the way Texas is playing lately, maybe we should make it the day after the game. 
Just to keep the thread on topic, I bought a six-pack of O'Douls' Amber this weekend. Haven't gotten into it just yet because I still had a couple of Fat Tires in the fridge.

As in: I am not a horse. I am a human being. I'll have an IPA.
