    I didn't think it came out that long ago, it's just hitting spots here, plus my local spot got a bunch 2014 BCBS the this year that the distributor had been sitting on for a year...who knows? Weird shit happens.

    Shit, if H24 doesn't have space to keep my Barrel Roll shit sitting for more than 2 weeks, I can't imagine they have much space to store their own beer. :wink:

    In case some missed this, Crux brews have hit a few stores past few weeks. Tough Love and Half Hitch Mosaic are solid.

    Speaking of Mr. K's, they just got a ton of Purple Drink from Toolbox Brewing Company



    Digging the way it was shipped, crate in the back of a truck!

    Abraxas has been popping up. Didn't realize that beer saw distro. Couple places making you buy extra Perennial bottles to get it. I was lucky enough to pick up the last one at Sunset Beer Co.

    Didn't even think about it. I get that they want to move the less popular stuff, but that's taking advantage of your customers. Especially when they're asking you to buy a 4 bottle set!

    EDIT: Want to clarify that Sunset Beer Co wasn't asking you to buy other bottles. Which is the only reason I went and tried to pick it up there.
