    Picked up a couple bottles of DDBA at my local store for $13.29 apiece....pretty sure the Parabola ship has sailed.

    Yeah I have to agree with you here. For whatever reason Maryland didnt get an invite to that party this year. Just glad I was able to find my bottles elsewhere. Maybe next year.

    There are multiple bottles on the shelf at Schneider's - $15.99. They have FW 15 as well.

    There is still a few bottles of Sucaba at Connecticut Ave. $16.99 I think.

    Oh sweet. in nova The price tag would probably 15 bucks. I've actually never gone into the city to shop- Though I've heard Connecticut ave is the place to go. Should i expect a couple dollar price jump on pretty much everything?

    For the beers you can find in NoVA and MD, Connecticut has fairly comparable prices, and that is even for the hard to find stuff like FW Anniversay, Sucaba etc. For the beers you can only get in DC (aka isn't distributed in VA or MD), expect to pay a premium. Some are truly ridiculous but if you want the beer and don't want to trade, they are pretty much it. Pricing example: Bottle of RR Consecration was priced at $30.

    Yea. I've never had any RR and I've heard it's in DC sometimes. I'd love to try it but I refuse to pay double based on availability, city inflation, and hype

    THERE'S STILL HOPE!! Frisco Tap House (Columbia) posted a picture of a case of Parabola on their facebook page a few hours ago with the caption "Guess what showed up this morning??" They also replied to a comment by saying they don't have it on tap, just the 12 bottles, and that no kegs came into MD (which I assume the distributor told them). Time to see if it hit area stores too.

    I.M. Wine in Fulton (Howard County) just reported Parabola in the door.

    Picked up a DDBA and Wookie Jack yesterday at State Line in Elkton, still no Parabola.

    With IM Wine and Frisco receiving some today, I'd assume other places in Howard county may have received theirs today as well (PP, Jason's, etc). Good to know it's at least at the distributor and starting to trickle out.

    No reason why a beer that is bottled at the same time should take this long to be distributed. MD distribution continues to amaze and confound me.

    They still had some Parabola at Sherry's in Woodley Park as of a few weeks ago. They may still have it.

    No dice on Parabola. Still have a few bottles of Sucaba, though.

    Someone posted on Frisco's facebook post that MD got 36 cases. I called Fishpaws and no dice.

    A little birdie told me HoCo got theirs today and AA Co will get theirs next week. Never hurts calling the distributor. :slight_smile:
