Latest Pipeworks Releases and Updates (2018)

Bitter Pops still had a good amount yesterday 6/23. So, I'm sure they will still have it today.

 

I've said it before, but fish series beers are not a problem to obtain. At least in the city, they are very easy ever since they PW began canning (which I assume allowed them to bottle more of the fish series). I have seen Emerald Grouper at all 3 stores I have been to in the last couple days. I was actually surprised that there were less available than I expected, though, so maybe this one is going a bit faster.

 

Seems to go damn fast where I am down near the loop. Not sure where the rest of you guys are located.

 

Loop and northside. Was just at Printer's Row Wine Shop they other day and they had them still, no limit. May be gone by now, though.

You aren't a far train ride from LP Binny's...just head there.

 

I picked up a couple from the Gold Coast Whole Foods yesterday. There was probably 5-6 left.

 

I got to a whole foods a few hours after delivery and got the last one. Again, some places it goes faster than others and some places get less than others. I still find these fish series beers to be difficult to get if you take your time, but obtainable if you move relatively quickly.

 

I don't know what your definition of taking your time is, as it varies for everyone, but for the past 4-5 fish series beers, I've pretty much seen them at LP Binny's for a couple weeks after they were released, sometimes even past 3 weeks. I know that isn't right by you in the Loop, but it's not that far either. The quantity they got surpasses the other stores by so much that they seem to have them around for awhile.

 

Is this a new snifter? I may have missed it during a prior release, but mine only has the brewery logo (no ninjas)

 

Old snifter. I have one at home. Got it a couple years ago.

 

Thats the snifter they had when the web store was stocked, the ones with no ninja/unicorn on them were before the days of the web store i believe . They gave a few cases out to their best accounts and people had to chase them down. This is my memories of the info, but me being me , we all know my short term memory is shot.

 

I think you're exaggerating, or at least not remembering correctly. Fish series beers around LP binny's for weeks??? I find this impossible to believe. I know some ninja IPAs stick for a couple weeks (at most) but I have never seen fish series stick anywhere nearly that long and I do go to LP Binny's about once a month. Please, prove me wrong with a picture of Emerald Grouper on the shelf on July 6.

 

I've got to back him up on this. I went and grabbed 2 extra Sunburst Peacocks from Binny's LP for trades 2 weeks after it was released.

 

Forgetting weeks for the moment, anybody know if Binny's LP has some now and if so approximately how much remains? Not a huge fish series (or PW, for that matter, outside of the occasional itch for Lizard King) fan but this one and Spotted Puffer are the truth.

 

Yeah, I remember that Crimson Snapper, which was released on 3/11/16 per Pdubs, still being on the shelf at Binny's LP on 4/01/16. The reason I remember is because that's the day KBS was released at Binny's and the line to checkout reached the CS bombers on the shelf and I noted it to myself for all the "tell me about all these great beers that sit on shelves as people hunt walez??" posts.

 

No exaggeration, as supported by others above. As @KCUnited mentioned, I specifically remember Crimson Snapper recently lasting nearly a month as he said. Others usually last until the end of the following week. As I mentioned, Emerald Grouper could be different, as I was there yesterday and they only had a few left...but, I know that I've seen them also get a bunch more stuff stocked on Friday's - not sure if they get hit with another shipment or just hold stuff in back due to space constraints. So, they may not really be that low on stock with EG. I'm going to probably swing by there again in about an hour or so and will see if there is still some (or even more) there.

 

Black Tuna also sat on shelves for a couple weeks at Binnys LP. Please no more black IPAs, but if they renamed it and the beer stayed the same it would sell out again

 

well, I guess LP Binnys is king then

 

anyone make it out to the lil citra release party at emporium? couldn't attend but wanted try it and see what merch they had. looking forward to grabbing some soon.

 

Drinks a little too easily, if you ask me. Found a bottle at the back of the fridge case at Whole Foods tonight and thought I'd give it a whirl. Holy camoly! Before I knew it, the bomber was gone in less time than it'd take me to drink a regular bottle. Had to close down my work email before doing something stupid. That is one damn tasty brew.
