    I hear parabola collects dust by the case in Seattle, maybe worth making a trade.

    I never even saw it sitting on the shelves in the East Bay. Had to ask for it as it was behind most counters and gone within a week.

    It's on some shelves in SoCal already. Personally saw the last bottle at a Vendome here (they said they got it in last night) and another BA stated on a local thread they saw it at a local BevMo. There's also one on my beer shelf in the basement. :wink:

    Sure does. How many cases do you want and what do you have to have to trade?

    According to my friend, it was already released around the LA area. Still waiting in the Bay Area for it!

    Any Velvet Merkin sightings in New Jersey? A beer manager at my local store told me that he spoke to a Bud delivery guy and said that Velvet Merkin isn't going to make it to NJ. Can anyone (hopefully) prove me wrong or confirm this? Hopefully this isn't true.

    Haven't seen any yet and I"ve been looking. I recall in a post on their facebook (as well as a rep on here) that it was coming to Jersey. It was some time ago so maybe things have changed. If I find it again, I'll post it here. Theres also a thread in the Mid-Atlantic forum on NJ tracking :stuck_out_tongue:

    No disrespect to the driver, but that's what he is, the delivery driver. He shows up, they load his truck and he drops it off. I think I'd take the words of a sales rep or Distro. office worker over the driver.
