    I guess Houstonians should keep info from each other too.

    Houstonians can do what they want. My point here is....if you are a regular
    customer of a store (or bar in this case), you shouldn't have to worry
    about getting the latest and greatest releases. You don't need someone to
    tell you its there, because you'll find it yourself, or the beer guy will
    have you on his e-mail list, or you'll follow their twitter, etc. Posting
    up what beer is where only serves to get people who wouldn't otherwise
    patronize such locations to go and buy everything up - basically, the
    hoarding types and their mules. I'm not saying I'm holier than thou and
    haven't been known to hoard or use the occasional mule (BCBS anyone), but
    this forum has basically become a bunch of threads about where you can buy
    new beer releases. People hoarding beers to trade or dole out to their
    friends. The whole point of Peche'cus being a bunch of small silent
    releases and small bottle limits was to reward people who are regular
    patrons of Freetail and possibly make the beer last a little longer than a
    few hours on shelf. Advertising it on BA is contrary to that goal.

    I understand the sentiment and idea, but even regulars will possibly get shut out if the don't go to bars on Mondays.

    I just know the info gets leaked eventually. I see it at my local Specs all the time.

    Then go Thursday. The first release was Thursday, then Monday. I was in Detroit Thursday and was able to get bottles on Friday when I got back to SA. I think what Freetail is trying to do is eliminate hype from beer releases, reward regular customers, and quell entitlement.

    Doesn't need to be posted since Freetail has a website, twitter, and an app. Oh and this thread is not about Yo Soy

    I'm good with that. If I'm lucky enough a kind soul will let me try a little one day, if not I'll live.

    This is exactly what Freetail is trying to accomplish! Once it was posted on this thread that the bottles were available many lurkers arrived at Freetail. Many who the staff said they have never seen before and were possibly mules that bought bombers and left. Regulars go once, twice or more a week to enjoy the food, company, beer and the Freetail experience. This is what keeps Freetail in business hence the reasoning for rewarding regulars.
