    The Total Wine on Cordova got one case. I reserved one sixer, which I'm grabbing later. 18 more bottles available!! I don't know about any other locations, but I haven't checked, either.

    =(
    Mine said it came in a few days ago but they sold out the same day.
    How do you guys know when they arrive?
    Do I need to call Total every day to check on the arrivals?

    Get to know @Ed_Roberts on Twitter (if you're into that thing). He pretty much heads up the beer ordering for all of South Florida. He is a great guy and will always give you the details on when to expect new things in.

    If you can't find it in stores, I know Abraxas has some.

    When I was at Laser Wolf on Tuesday, I asked what CCB stuff they had, and they mentioned Patio Pils. I immediately stepped outside to get the scoop from Total Wine and ended up having them put aside a sixer for me. So, I basically got lucky.

    Great advice from Mike, as always.

    Btw, Mike, you weren't at Laser Wolf on Tuesday, were you? There was a guy with a hat and beard, but I wasn't sure.

    While this is great advice, I would recommend getting to know the distributor. I go to my Total Wine every Wednesday to see what is new and what is coming out soon. I get there as he is putting all the new stuff on the shelves and shoot the shit for a while. Total Wine can order it but the distributor controls if they get it or not and how much they get. As an example we were supposed to get Rogue's Smoked Porter w/Chipotle, and the same with Vanilla bean and they didn't get any because of delays with Brown.

    Pretty sure you mean Stone, not Rogue. BX Beer Depot has it in stock, btw, if you're looking for it.

    My bad! I have dyslexia when it comes to Stone and Rogue! You are correct!

    It's easy for me to remember. Stone makes good beer, Rogue makes overpriced shit beer.
    So then, Stone = solid, rock solid ; Rogue = a dishonest, knavish person; scoundrel​
    ​
    Problem solved :-)​

    just bumping to say that i agree with the comment about talking to distributors. they usually know more about where things are going than the breweries or the retail establishments
