Where to find Lager of DeVINE Destruction

Lager of DeVINE Destruction has hit stores. We are compiling a list of Liquor stores where you can find it and will continue to update this list as more locations are added.

First, a reminder of this special beer: "This unique lager is made with Black Current and Grappa-Infused White Oak. We get our Black Currents from Natura Farms in Forest Lake, MN. The Mayan Calendar suggests that this year is the end of the world, so why not drink a decadent lager as we approach the destruction of all we know? Each bottle of Lager of DeVINE Destruction is hand-filled, hand-capped and hand-labeled before it is numbered and packaged. Only 1,000 750ml bottles will be available in stores, so grab yours and toast living like the end of the world is at hand."
