    Was told only a pallette made it CO. Info not verified, but seems likely.

    That is a ridiculously small amount. So only the top accounts will get cases. And probably only a case or two at the most. geez.

    It's particularly rough when you consider that a case only contains 6 bottles (I think).

    Bought a bottle of Parabola at Boulder LiquorMart at lunch today. There were still 3 on the shelf.

    Are the Abyss variants leaps and bounds better than just regular Abyss?

    How many cases would actually fit on "a pallete"?

    Ohhhh...I dunno. Let's see
    6 bottles to a case. Probably fit 7x4 cases on a palette, stack 'em 5 to 8 high? If my math is correct, that equals 600 Billion.
    Wait...carry the 1....
    140-224 cases? Soooo 840-1,344 bottles. Extremely rough estimate :astonished:

    Seems very difficult to find this year, every place is already sold out

    Did not make it to Fort Collins today. A store said they were getting it, but the truck never showed up.

    Really good sign.

    If this whole Pallet for the whole state is true, that means it'd likely only be allocated to Denver, then Boulder, then Springs, then Fort Collins (where I'm at), like only showing up at Wilbur's, Supermaket, Mulberry Max, and maybe Craft Beer Cellar. And probably a case or two max at that.

    I hope we're getting more.

    I called Cheers in Colorado Springs yesterday. Guy told me all 6 have been reserved.. before they even hit the shelves. Not real happy about that. Cheers is notoriously bad with new releases though.

    For what it's worth, Hazels (Boulder) got six cases yesterday (down to three bottles by 11am yesterday). Don't know how that compares to last year, as I missed out... Also, if quantity was constrained, don't know if everyone would receive less, or large accounts would still get full allotment and the small guys would miss out?

    I'm impressed that they actually put it out on the shelf. Last few times I've been there, I've had to ask for special releases.

    I got mine at Mondo.

    What happened to the whole "sold to bigger brewer" benefits thingy? :sunglasses:

    Did they expand into more states/locations? I thought they increased production by 500 cases this year.
