Availbility of Russian River Supplication

to give you an idea: I recently got one for a Three Floyds Dreadnaught (a year round off the shelf three floyds release).

From what i know, supp is pretty available and you can get it with most local off the shelf tasty treats

 

I've traded it for anything from solid year round off the shelf beers to limited seasonals.

 

It's pretty available. Distribution kinda comes in waves but there's usually somewhere that has some. Also, the brewery has it available with good regularity

 

It's not technically a year-round brew, but just about as close to it as you can come. Can pretty much pick it up at any of the finer beer stores in the major metro areas in California. Not sure about in the other states that get it.

 

I just checked http://www.seekabrew.com and it looks like RR gets limited distribution to PA – not sure if it makes its way close enough to Baltimore or if Supplication is one of the beers that makes its way to the east coast. A short drive might be an option vs a trade?
Does anyone know what RR beers PA actually sees (what’s on shelves) and if any other states on the east coast get any RR?

 

As others have said, in LA we get it in waves, and then it disappears for a few months. Not sure about SF and SD. But if you go directly to RR, chances are they'll have it.

 

SF is the same. Was just at the local WF and they were out of Supplication. But it does tend to show back up in a few weeks based on the frequency of new batches.

 

Batch 10 just came out. It is the 2nd most available RR sour here in San Diego. Costs $12.99 for a good price, $13.49 medium, and $15.99 at Beverages 4 Less.

Brewpub in Santa Rosa is $12.

 

You should be able to get a bottle for good locals that don't get distributed out here, be they year round or seasonal. Supplication generally goes for $10.99-13.99/bottle.

 

Damn, $10.99? I'd drink a lot more of it!

 

I picked up a bottle of Supplication when I was in Philly a few months ago. It was the only one on the shelves, so not sure if I just got lucky or what. They also had plenty of Damnation and some Redemption.

As far as RR beers availability on the east coast, I looked it up a while ago. From what I remember, RR only uses a single distributor on the East Coast, and it's a company in Philly. I'm not sure but I don't think any makes it out of the greater Philadelphia area.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

RR is all over philly and some of the burbs. You can usually find just about any of their regular belgian lineup at a good bottle shop. IPAs are tap only. RR is pretty easy to find, but in most places they are a bit more expensive than I have heard they are in cali. I have seen supp for 15-19 damnation is the cheapest at ~10. With cases you can get them a bit cheaper.

 

I'm usually happy to trade Supplication $4$ in the $12-$14 range. I have plenty - BM if you need any.

 

On the shelf here in CA for considerable amounts of time at a stretch.

 

Just to clarify, you're saying there's no bottles of PtE in Philly? And those prices are much, much higher than on the West Coast (+~$5/bottle). Yikes!

 

Vinny doesn't send bottles of the hoppy stuff over, but he does send kegs. Theres just about always a place or two with pliny or blind pig on tap around the city.

Those are the prices I have seen. 19 is the upper upper end. Saw that at the same shop that was trying to sell parabola for $25. Most bottle shops I have seen have been 15-17 for supplication. Kind of expensive but it is awesome to be able to walk down the street and pick up a couple RR bottles.

 

It's widely available in PDX. Usually in the $12-14 range. Most of the RR Belgians are pretty easy to come by out here. And wow, Damnation is a great beer, but I can't imagine paying $10 for a bottle. I paid $4.50 for the last bottle I bought!

 

Better than nothing, my friend. Both PtE and Blind Pig are delicious. Do you guys get any PtY?
