Russian River distribution schedule for Colorado?

Aging them? That there is breakfast.

 

Argonaut now has a 2 bottle limit on Pliny, used to be 1. HELL YEAH

 

It used to be no limit...

 

Yeah you used to be able to buy it buy the case. Times have changed.

 

I'm sure some of you know already, but Pliny, Consecration and Supplication arrived this week. Argonaut put it out today.

 

They all hit the Springs yesterday as well. Happy hunting!

 

So how often do the Russian River drops happen? Will it be all gone by next weekend?

 

Pliny comes in about once a month. Other stuff is less often. It is usually gone in a day at most places. We don't get sent very much of it.

 

Freshcraft had Pliny tapped Friday and it was still around for me to enjoy at today Sunday lunch (and I enjoy I did).

 

I made out alright this weekend

 

Russian River doesn't have a distribution schedule. If they do it is not made public to stores and the general public. Here is how it works....Russian River is distributed by only one distribution company in Colorado. That company is Elite. They get random cases as far as I know. Those cases go to accounts(liquor stores) that have been clients for a long time or sell a lot of product or order a lot of product. For instance, the store that I work at orders tons of bombers, lots of limited beers, and any allocated beer we can get our hands on. I am cool to our rep and I talk my boss into buying tons of good stuff even though he is more of a wine lover. So...our rep threw us a case of Russian River Consecration this week(maybe 5 left). The funny thing is were we are located the majority of people don't drink the awesome bombers we have.

 

What store are you working at?

 

I work at Off Broadway Wine and Spirits in Englewood. It's off broadway and Englewood Parkway. My name is Ryan. Feel free to ask for me. I'm usually there.

 

I don't work TOO far away from there. Maybe I'll take you up on that, especially if you have cool shit just laying around.

Shit, a lot more. This isn't 25% of what I got but I'm tired of typing and thinking (its my day off). This is just a few of the bombers. We have a ton of good 6 packs too. Lots of Cali and Oregon. A whole door just for cans and I still couldn't fit all of them in there. So anyways, I will be getting some other stuff as well. Other store employees or owners could be reading this and if I put everything that could mess up some of my allocation hookups.... I don't want to give up too much of what we have so either stop in or PM me if you have any questions or want to make personal collection trades. I typically buy whatever we get for my own stash.

 

Oh ya, and we have those Avery Rufus Corvus Barrel Aged Sours, Mephistopheles, and Samaels. All allocated so limited supply. As in less than 10 left of each. But I think we put the Samaels on sale....

 

Sounds like I'm stopping in next week.

 

Consecration > Supplication

 

^this.

 

Agree. I think Temptation is the best of the RR sours that I have tried.

Also, Blind Pig is damn close to the Pliny IMHO.
