Anyone tried the new Ghost River brews out of Memphis?

I think they are ok, probably need a little tweaking here and there but it's definitely fresh....haven't tried the golden yet.
I've only had the Hefe (quite a few, actually) and liked it. Where can you get Glacial Pale Ale? Old Venice only had the Hefe and I don't do the Saucer unless I have to.
I think the Hefe is the best out of the one's I've tried.....You can get the Glacial, Hefe and Brown at Saucer downtown for sure.

Ciao Bella over by Hueys on Poplar has G.R. on tap too
Yeah I need to find a place other than the Sausage err Saucer to find the Pale Ale at. I don't mind the Saucer once I'm there but it's never my idea to go there, ya know?
How would you guys compare these ales verses Yazoo?
not even close to Yazoo. its just Boscos beer which im not fond of
Had the Hefe at the Bayou. I want to try the Golden. I believe they have the Golden at Central BBQ.

A friend of mine hates Boscos, but he loves the Ghost River Golden.

I'm sure they did -- I doubt they would have gotten into so many restaurants that fast otherwise. I'm pretty sure the TN distributors of Yuengling did as well when they FINALLY hit the market late last year.
Southwestern is distributing Ghost River.
If you ever want to read a fascinating story about a fascinating salesman, read about Sidney Frank, how he popularized Jagermeister in the US, and how he created Grey Goose vodka out of thin air and sold it for $2 Billion (with a B) just a few years later.
Here are some articles on Ghost River:

The CA article has a list of places that have GR on tap. And I have heard that you can buy kegs of GR from Southwestern.....

Hopefully Shea Flinn's resolution will pass and we'll be able to buy some to go from the restaurant.
