    On the flip side of that, as I'm a "beer store clerk", I'm tired of people requesting items then never coming to pick them up. But that's really neither here, nor there in terms of the OP.

    He spends $ regularly and was on a list the store voluntarily initiated.

    Maybe they should have limited customers to 2 bottles if they only received 2 cases?
    I'm confident he wasn't #25.

    If I had any Hopslam, I'd probably send OP one.

    There's really not enough information here to go one way or another. The best I can come up with is sorry you didn't get it this go around, it's disappointing regardless of fault.

    First I would speak with the manager and politely ask why you weren't called. (Sounds like after the employees got theirs none was left.) If you aren't satisfied with the response, call daily until the beer arrives. If they ask why you keep calling, tell them. Too bad there's not another store close enough.

    Lists suck, and I don't understand why stores bother with them. Just put 'em out, one bottle limit, first come first serve. It really doesn't need to be any more difficult than this...

    They made 4000 barrels. You can't get any?

    To paraphrase John Mallet, "The aroma is like the cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.

    They only received two cases? That's 8 sixer's/8 customers who get some assuming a one six-pak per person limit. Maybe if they would have allocated 1-2 bottles each, you would have gotten "the call".

    Keep working to get some. It's out there but sometimes takes a little luck, persistence and work to get the allocated, popular stuff.

    bm sent... stacks around here. i hate when beer stores tell you something and do something else, if you want hopslams we'll make it happen.

    Beer stores:
    tell me you don't know
    tell me i won't get any
    tell me the list is full, i'm not VIP, don't spend enough, etc.
    tell me you'll put it on the shelf with no limit when it comes
    tell me to f off and you are putting it all on ebay....
    tell me whatever, as long as it's true! not saying this store lied, and maybe i'm just sensitive being burned by a very dishonest local shop. but it is a bummer when you try your best, are told you should be good and should get a (pretty damn modest/non-greedy) couple 6 packs, only to be ignored when it happens!

    anyhoo, hit me up if you need hopslam (anyone!), i'd love to pay a hookup forward, beer-gods know i owe one!

    Local store had two pallets of it. Party source in Newport KY. You had to ask for it and you can order it online now.

    What bar did you see hopslam at? Blind Tiger? They bringing up from an out of state distributor or something? Why don't you just go back to the bar tonight or tomorrow? Bell's doesn't distribute to ny so this would be a hell of a find.

    That's whack. If they said they'd call you, they should call you.

    No one is asking the tough questions 'round here. What in the hell happened to your car?

    Stop buying overpriced beer and get yourself a dadgum car instead. Problem solved.

    I all can say is this: If I was to have my own store I would try to be fair but very kind to all my customers. I had the ideal of naming my shop "The Extreme Bottle" which yes would be an extreme metal/bottle shop! :grinning:

    Thats all I can say about this.

    So they got two cases and presumably had a one six pack per person limit? Did you happen to be the 9th person on the list when you first signed up?
