Firestone Walker Vintage Releases NJ

It was at Berlin Canals earlier this week, but gone now.

Luponic Distortion and Sucaba are going to be out sometime next week in central (Ocean/monmouth/burlco/mercer)

Luponic shouldnt be hard to find, but honestly, its one of the better IPAs ive had lately. Super crisp, juicy, tropical, and very drinkable.

 

Heard that Harrison has fumbled the FW account. Stores can't even get the year round or seasonal stuff, which should mean the FW boxes might just disappear in CMC.

 

Did you/the store(s) order the beers? Did the Harrison salesperson say they were carrying them? What did the invoice say?
Could always try the Harrison contact page - also has their email address and phone number.

 

From what I have been told, and this is from two different beer managers. Harrison just shows up with FW boxes based off your allotment from sales. So a smaller store might get one case, a larger Canals "might" get two. One manager said he was trying to order more base stuff from FW so he would get back into getting the limited boxes, and was told by harrison they were discontinuing carrying those base yearly beers.

All I can say is, two of my regular stores would get at least one case of everything and it only went to the regulars. So 1 bottle of each release per store, and if I was lucky to catch it when it hit the shelf at Canals at Rio Grande, I maybe saw 3 bottles per release. In the past year, only if I saw the canals release. The other stores have not seen a release since parabola.

 

Lyponic and Sucaba just hit the Ocean County stores (at least Brick/Point Pleasant stores) this week/end of last week. Check your favorite stores, but it is gone or going quick. Most only got 6 bottles!

 

Sucaba hit Monmouth last week, I found a bottle yesterday.

 

Sucaba on the shelf Jersey City Buyrite $19 a bottle. Was 5 or 6 left as of around 730. Also had some SMS on the shelf if anyone hasn't gotten any.

 

Does anywhere else price gouge the Firestone walker release like they do around the New Brunswick/east Brunswick area? They are charging 36 bucks a bottle for sucaba? I love the stuff but come on that seems a little ridiculous.

 

Why not name the store so we all know who not to give our business to?

 

Supposedly Parabola has been released at the brewery so I'd imagine it'll hit NJ anywhere from 3 weeks to a month from now... hopefully not much longer.

 

I'm already on the lookout for Parabola. The chase of beers never ends.

 

2 different Parabola spottings in upstate NY yesterday , I would think that means it hits NJ soon right?
