    Parents are in Atlanta this week, any tips for shopping for Tropicalia would be much appreciated. Cheers.

    Start with the OTP Kroger stores, especially if you live in North ATL. A lot of the big beer shops ITP seemed to report not getting any this past week.

    A growler fill will be your very best bet. Much, much easier to come by that way.

    It's really hit or miss with cans and some people, depending on their location, have no issue finding it where others can never find it. As @elektrikjester mentioned people seem to have better luck at Kroger than some of the bottle shops. Our bigger shops sell out quickly (Tower, Greens, Hop City, Ale Yeah!) but you can always check with them on Twitter/FB to see if they have any. It's usually limited to 1-2 6pks at the bottle shops.

    Saw Tropicalia on tap/growler at Total Wine Perimeter location earlier today (along with Jai Alai and Orpheus Transmigration of Souls).

    We haven't seen Jai Alai in nearly a year. I'd hate to think what that keg tastes like.

    Fresh kegs of Jai Alai have been popping up all over Georgia, still no cans though.

    Weird, haven't seen them in Savannah's inventory at all.

    Not yet, their distribution is mainly Athens and Atlanta area, with the occasional shipment to Macon. Growler fills can be had in Athens, Atlanta, and Macon at any time, cans are hit or miss except for maybe certain shops in Athens.

    I received an email response from Creature Comforts a few months back and they said they have some production capacity increases in the works and they may be in the Savannah market around February 2016, but they aren't sure yet.

    Didn't see any announcements for Trop cans anywhere this week. I have a theory that Creature Comforts is canning a ton of it and will blast it out at once, making it rain hoppy showers of Tropicalia.

    I've seen them at The Distillery before, but that maybe it.
