    With the release of Lolita having come and gone, I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about the other two sisters?

    Juliet was bottled a few weeks ago, according to GI. They should announce when it ships on facebook and twitter. Also, I wouldn't consider Lolita gone quite yet. Whole Foods in the suburbs got theirs this week.

    Juliet is currently sitting in bottles waiting for it to be ready. No clue on madame rose. :slight_smile:

    As of yesterday, Archer Liquors still had a few bottles on the shelf, and perhaps more in back.

    Would that include the western burbs? I had not seen any at the Naperville Whole Foods yet. I know that you can still find it at some stores in the southwest burbs.

    I know for a fact that Northbrook and Sauganash (technically not a suburb though they're on the suburban delivery schedule) got it this week. Don't know about other WF but I suspect others got it this week too. Call and ask for the specialty department.

    The Lolita at Naperville Whole Foods was all spoken for as of last Thursday.

    Some stores are already starting to take names for Juliet. Naperville Whole Foods might get it this week sounds like.

    Hope there is more Juliet to go around than there was Lolita. Although I was able to find a few bottles of Lolita, I had to go to several stores to do it.

    Is Madame Rose being bottled this year?

    It will be eventually, probably right after Juliet, which should be hitting the shelves soon!

    I might of heard that some stores might be getting more of the Lolita, which I find rather surprising.

    The publicized whales go in my area within hours.

    Lesser known, and lessor hyped beers like Lolita are sitting. At my local stores there are 5-10 just sitting.

    I'm pretty sure that all this "hype" is just BCS run off :wink:. Wasnt overly impressed with the three sisters after a year of age, but never had fresh.

    I think the sisters will be easier to get than bcs for sure, Also lolita sat in bottles for afew months before it was released so I think we'll have time before Juliet gets released

    Correct. Last year the sisters had a diacetyl burst at bottling which really ruined them for the first three to six months of their life. Knowing this, laffler is monitoring until it happens and fades or if it doesn't occur for I think he mentioned three months post bottling he'll just release then. That is why Lolita had a November bottling date.

    don't worry there are people living in the chicago area that have enough to buy cases of all of these, and will go from store to store trying to snatch up every last bottle in your place.

    I remember going to Lemon Tree in Downers Grove last February and seeing a floor display of all the the sisters in plain sight @ $15 each. I went back there about a month later and that same display was still there and a good number of bottles still remained.
