Firestone Walker - Parabola 2014

1:59 p.m. - gets tweet from Binny's in Glen Ellyn saying Parabola is in.
2:00 p.m. - jumps in car and heads toward Binny's.
2:22 p.m. - arrives in parking lot at Binny's.
2:22:33 p.m. - gets tweet from Binny's in Glen Ellyn saying Parabola is sold out.

Lovely . . .

 

Hit some stores by me (north burbs) today, luckily I was working at home. Got 1, not sure about current stock, one place still has it on their beermenus page (Austin Liquors Skokie).

 

No, it usually takes about 4-6 weeks after release. Should be soon though. Just go to bevmos and have them email you when it arrives. I did it with the one at arden and roseville. Not to mention Roseville one still have cases of The Abyss.

 

must be nice to have that kind of freedom

 

Things jealous people say. Speaking from personal experience it is quite nice to have the freedom to leave at 2:00 to buy beer, I plan on doing it next week for Parabola.

 

Wow sold out in 22 minutes. Crazy. Good luck on getting some. Sounds like bcbs when it hit by me.

 

Yeah, that's all I do is sit around all day and wait for tweets from Binny's. You nailed it.

 

1 bottle limit here, they wouldn't sell my friend a bottle because they knew it was for me.

 

whoa easy there, I never said it was a bad thing to have that freedom... and so what if I wish I had that freedom still? there really is a lot of animosity in the craft beer community

 

A little birdy told me Bevmo will be getting them in on Friday in the Sacramento area. Crossing my fingers

 

But it's still widely accessible so, "trade value" compared to much inferior beers still suffers. Just try to trade with Danny Full Pint, and other Star Wars fans...

 

I don't see why anyone tries to trade away Parabola. The $4$ means you're not getting anything remotely close to as good. You may as well just keep the parabola and enjoy it.

 

18.40 with tax.

 

Holy shit, really? sounds like when I tried buying my nephew a pair of those dunks that came out a few weeks ago. simply because i authenticated the catchphrase incorrectly the first time which was dumb.

I'm surprised how fast this flies off the shelf not even allowing breathing space. You snooze, you loose.

btw, this is probably a rookie question but what the hell is a feral one? It's like telling someone what is a bomber.

 

This is a Feral One: http://www.firestonebeer.com/beers/products/feral-one

 

I called all the local bevmo's and total wines.

2 Said they are suppose to be getting it in Friday.

 

Just had a Sucaba sighting in MA for the first time this afternoon. No news on Parabola.

 

Second the Sucaba sightings just west of Boston. Allegedly will hit Cambridge/Boston within a week. Asked about Parabola and was told it won't be nearly the same delay as with Sucaba.

 

I had an easier time scoring Darkness x2 than Parabola. It's crazy how quickly these are flying off of the shelves here in Chicago.

 

Yep. Darkness was a breeze. This I got one from a hookup, but took me sheer luck to find a second. Seems a lot of places a) got very little and b) some report getting less than they were promised/ordered.
