    Freshcraft tapped it yesterday.


    But I'd like to get two bottles myself.

    Thanks for the heads up. I was able to get a bottle and a few other things I haven't seen around here yet

    I wanna get 10 bottles, just like I did last year, but something tells me I'll be pretty lucky to get one.

    What the fuck? The shit was available for 2 months, and I bought and drank 10 bottles. I'm not one of those tools that buys a case just to trade it.

    As always, I just want 2. One for now, one for later.

    I also want 2, but will settle for even 1 if it's going to be so difficult to get it. I hope I can even get 1.

    I think this is all speculation at this point, it's been said there's 500 more cases this year, so even with our distro split with Texas it may be a bit less than last year, but so long as it's equal to Sucaba, I really don't see getting a couple bottles of Parabola to be much of an issue. Probably 1-bottle limits in places like Sucaba was, took about 30 min to get 2 bottles, it wasn't that hard.

    I was able to get 2 Sucaba, so if that's the case...good.

    How has the price point been this year? The $16.99 MSRP on the press release seems like a fairly large increase from last year, if it's true.

    Where did this "Texas got 1/2 of Colorado's share" info come from? I remember seeing one post about it, but know it's being treated as though it's completely true. I'm just curious if it was confirmed by FW or just rumor.
    Did they cut other states as well? TX is big, or something.

    Yeah UJ was in barrels a month ago when I was there. I talked with Jared from Avery on Saturday at Parry's and he said June. I was a bit disappointed to hear that because the tour guide a month back said it was a month away from release.

    Avery posted a response to someones UJ question last week and said they were looking at a June release.

    I heard something like this from a Beer Manager who heard it from their FW rep. I realize it's 2nd hand info but I trust the Beer Manager. What's not clear to me though is when they "cut our allotment" (that's how I heard it said - not "halved"). Was it before or after the Sucaba release? Distribution in Texas started in February so CO's "cut in allotment" could have happened prior to Sucaba and Sucaba was not a dire hunt to land a bottle here in CO. Perhaps someone around here knows the answer to that.

    I'm hopeful based on what I know that it will be a similar "rarity" as Sucaba (same company + same number of bottles produced + timing that FW entered TX). If I'm wrong and I miss it I'll just wait until UJ or trade for some BCBS, BN, KBS, etc. There's a lotta good beer out there...
