(Via Convenience Store News) The Indiana Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association (IPCA) pointed out that beer/wine permits are still available in many towns and cities. It conducted an "unofficial" examination of the online records of the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (ATC), and found that these localities are already at quota:

• For cities over 80,000 residents: only Evansville is at quota.
• For cities between 15,000-80,000 residents: Anderson, Bloomington, Columbus, Crawfordsville, Greenwood, Hobart, Kokomo, Lafayette, Marion, Muncie, New Albany, New Castle, Noblesville, Portage, Richmond, Seymour, Shelbyville, Valparaiso and Vincennes are all at quota.
• For cities under 15,000 residents: Aurora, Brook, Brookville, Chesterton, Greencastle, Greensburg, Huntingburg, Jasper, Lawrenceburg, Lebanon, Martinsville, Mooresville, Mount Vernon, Princeton, Roselawn, Rushville, Salem and Syracuse are all at quota.
• However, notes the IPCA, only the ATC can determine if a permit is available, so retailers should contact the commission at www.in.gov\atc for up-to-date information, since a locality currently at quota may have permits returned.

In the future, La Trappe will be the official name of Koningshoeven. The Dubbel,Tripel, and Quadrupel will be rebadged and sometime this year an Oak Aged Quadrupel will be released in 375ml bottles.
