Firestone Walker Parabola 2015

Where is SD have you seen this? Every place I went to the day it hit shelves all sold out as soon as they got it. North and south county. Had to hit up my buddy who lives across the street from FW just to get a case... would love to get more if I can find it locally though.

 

Still on shelves...but prices are going up!

 

Anybody got some focal banger for trade for my parabola (2010, 2011 or 2015) or other FW beers pictured above.

 

Most places got it Tuesday and others on Thursday. All gone now unless you have one saved for you on a list somewhere. I was able to grab a couple bottles. Last year's was pretty ready to go out of the gate. This year seemed a bit more hot and bitter fresh (granted we also got it 3 weeks earlier than last year). Fantastic now but I still prefer this beer with at least a year on it.

 

How the hell is the anniversary beer cheaper than Parabola?!

 

Supply and demand...everyone wants Parabola right now

 

Not here. Anniversary was $20-23 and parabola was $16-18.
Parabola was $69 a case store cost from distributor.

 

Apparently! I'd be buying all of that 18th anniversary.

 

MSRP is something like 23.99 for Anniversary and 14.99 for Parabola, so it makes sense to be mystified by the inverted pricing in that photo.

 

If I had another, I'd share!

 

Is this available in Pittsburgh pa? I have never seen it

 

Hoping for tomorrow here in buffalo ny. Sucaba was about a month behind, so I'd imagine the parabola to have about the same lag time.

 

Anyone else notice the labeling mess up? They have two different vintage dates.

 

lol ive only got it once two years ago...nothing since then not even a mention at my local bottle shop oh well such is life!

 

lucky duck

 

The '14 vs '15 was discussed elsewhere, I forget where.

The thought was that it's brewed in '14, put into barrels, and released as '15.

 

when one line says '2015 Parabola Vintage' and the other says '2014 Vintage Parabola', I see this as a labeling mistake. I don't know what the beer labeling laws are, but if they are anything like those of wine, this would be a big deal, as it's legal.

 

Anyone with a bottle from previous years may be able to see if this was a trend in labeling or a mistake.

 

It's a mistake. I sent them an email after I posted this and within an hour got a reply back. It will be brought up to their 'creative team'.

I'll happily receive consultation compensation in beer.
