    Sorry if this has been posted already, this is one of my seasonal faves from Lagunitas and have yet to see any at my Houston specs/heb.

    Please post if this has dropped or the eta? Thanks!

    Was at specs yesterday and Lindsey said next week. "The shipment hit Austin earlier this week and we are next". I just hope Houston gets quite a bit of it

    Gabriel's in SA got two cases yesterday, and it's going fast.

    Is there a limited supply this year? I don't recall it "going fast" last year.

    I wasn't in the business (or the country, for that matter) when it was released last year, so I can't compare this year's demand to last year's. I know that a lot of the people who tried it last year have been foaming at the mouth for this year's release. I also know that there's always a very high demand for Lil Sumpin Sumpin in the SA/Austin market. Not sure if the same is true in Houston.

    Gabriel's sold a case and a half of Sumpin Wild yesterday, and the two remaining sixers will probably disappear today.There may be more coming in the next few weeks, but my BEK rep won't know about it until it shows up in their warehouse. Lagunitas (in general) is a tough brand for retailers to get decent quantities of because it vanishes within a few days after BEK gets it in. As I said, demand for Lagunitas is pretty insane out here, and the supply could definitely be better.

    Someone lemme know if they spot this in Austin.

    Ps: I thought this was bomber-only this year?

    Craft beer boom. People are hoarding anything they perceive as rare.

    I've never seen this beer in a six pack before. Only bomber and on tap.

    Any sightings around DFW yet? I asked at Total Wine & More Dallas and Spec's Dallas yesterday, but both places said that they hadn't heard anything about getting a shipment yet.

    Last year 6-packs were easier to get than bombers, IMHO.

    El Paso will be receiving our shipment this friday in both six packs and bombers. Just not sure how much though. Can't wait though, I love that stuff.

    I was in Specs Round Rock today, and saw this here:

    If its here, I have to imagine its all over Austin, but who knows. Maybe for once RR is ahead of the curve! :slight_smile:

    I had a glass of it at Bangers on Sunday night. Interesting place. Definitely not your average beer bar.
