    So... does anyone know if NYC will be getting some of this from the cases that were allocated for the lower 48? Who's the distributor for Anchorage in NYC, Shelton? Did anyone hear anything from anyone on this? Would really love to try this beer. Cheers.

    I emailed the Shelton rep who I've been talking to re: Hommage. Will keep you updated.

    My apologies if you already know this, but....

    From an earlier post in the NW, it's my understanding that only 60 cases were allocated for the lower 48 states. Here in Oregon, that worked out to 6 cases for the entire state. I know that some also went to Washington and California as well (though I don't know how much), but in any case, that makes me think that probably very few cases were sent to NY.

    Also, we were told that the brewery instructed retail outlets that no bottles were to be sold, but that instead everything was to be sold in individual pours so as to maxamize the number of folks who could sample it. Just a FYI.

    They are about to triple production of a Deal with the Devil for the next bottle release. So it could be around next time.

    This applicable to Hommage, as well?

    Yeah, the rep said that Shelton got so little in, the city won't see any.

    Does that mean all of NY won't get it? I'm kinda surprised since Anchorage does not distribute to a lot of states and we always seem to get something from them. You'd think they'd brake it up equally and send it to all their accounts.

    Anyone hear an update on the upcoming release for NYC this year? Have heard similar production numbers compared to last year.

    Bump since it hit Decicco's locations and Foodtown Express in Yonkers. Will it make it down to the city?

    Was about to just ask. That'd be awesome if the Shelton Bros stated locations

    As of about 40 minutes ago, the limit at Ardsley was 2 and they are priced at $31 a bottle.

    Shelton recently signed with a new distributor (Remarkable Liquids) and have opened up a much larger portion of their portfolio than they had previously. The sell sheet I saw for my shop specifically had many more beers from Mikkeller, Nogne-O, ToOl, and Amager, as well as ADWTD and Tide and it's Takers from Anchorage. The shipment was delayed by the snowstorms, so I'd start to see a lot of this stuff popping up this week. Some seriously nice BA Mikkeller stuff on there too :slight_smile:
