well, I'm glad I called...
I checked with the place I was supposed to pick up one of the kegs for the tailgate I'm running tomorrow (our club has a deal with Foggy Bottom brewers, whereby they give us a keg for free for each one we buy). I was having trouble even getting a number to call the store, because no one in our office has a phone book, because they just Google, but we have an "alcohol" filter on our web browsers so we can't see any websites that involve selling beer or wine. Thank goodness for Google's website caches.
But when I got through to Total Beverage (now Total Wine and More) who the FB rep had advised me to call, they said that they don't carry FB and it would take SEVERAL WEEKS to get a keg as a special order.
OK, now I'm panicking. I've emailed the rep back, explaining that we're expectedin over 100 people and that the one keg they're delivering will not be enough. If they want me to buy from Total, they're going to have to fix something up quick, otherwise I'm going to call some other distributor.
