    I am fully aware of the Chicago beer scene. But, even with sucaba being a top 5 BA Barleywine IMO I don't remember it being hard to come by last year. I know it escalates every year but still. Damn newbs!

    Walnut Creek Whole Foods had at least six on the non-cold shelf this evening. 14.99 if I recall correctly. Blind Pig also available but no Pliny.

    Why the surprise? It's a damn good beer. That FW makes enough to spread it to the rest of the country, albeit thinly, shouldn't take away from its desirability.

    Agreed. I was just messing with ya. Last years release was still on some shelves well into the summer months.
    I'm just hoping that Binnys Grand was an anomaly because it was probably the first few Chicago stores to get any.

    I haven't but I'd check the Roseville WF and Nugget. Usually pretty good chance.

    I have full availability here in Central California if anyone is interested. I'm looking to get into the trading business as I have not tried many midwest beers. Please let me know.

    That sucks about CW beers! Was hoping to grab a 4 pack of each or more.

    Just bought myself two at work. If you live in the San Mateo area, get yours at BevMo!, quick. We got three cases worth and they're going quick.

    Was able to snag a 4-pack of Peruvian Morning and BBBW yesterday along with some Sucaba. The CW beers are getting harder to find. Hopefully another shipment will come in. Peruvian morning is tasty. Haven't cracked open a Sucaba yet tho
