Is heady topper being distributed in LA?

Christ.

Please no one buy this stuff.

 

Are you a cop?

 

I think Shaun Hill lent out his personal beer narc Adam Jackson to John Kimmich.

 

yes now GIVE ME ALL YOUR BEER!
i need my HT fix, ive been trying to trade but no dice

 

Jesus christ!!!! That's a fu$&ing rip off!!!! Dreadnaught for 25 bucks is a 150% mark up from retail and ZD at 7.99 would make it a $48 6er...thats FUKCN ridiculous!!!....and probably illegal...

 

For future reference, '3F' is generally not used as an acronym for Three Floyds. Just sayin'.

get some Simtra and call it a day ( holy shit what a good freakin beer this is)

 

That's highway robbery ZD around Chicago is about 10.99 a six and DReadnaught about 7.99 to 8.99

 

It happens. I have been able to pick up some out of market stuff here in LA (Surly Abrasive for $5 a can for example). Yes, it is probably more expensive but at least I didn't have to hassle with trading.

 

I for one like seeing the occasional non-distributed rarity around town. Peeps should probably keep this kind of thing a bit more on the down low if we want to keep seeing those options on the shelves.

 

I was at the brewery on Saturday at around 3 pm and they sold me 5 cases. There was a question from the cashier to the dude and the dude said ya. the dude said when traveling from far (pa) to call ahead and he would make sure we were taken care of. nice folks there. before ordering i saw a pallet (i mean really a single pallet about 12' high) of cans in the back so i felt much better walking up asking for a boat and/or truck load.

 

Not by much. That would be roughly a dollar more per can than it goes for here in MN. Whoever is selling Abrasive illegally in LA for that price would be losing money on it. Especially considering the cost of transporting it there.

 

Do you think this store is seriously a threat? What are your intentions on snitching this store out?

 

I would drive a long way to get Some Abrasive, perhaps that is the purpose of them getting this beer, the store may be losing money by transporting beer but how many beer geeks are now coming to this shop for a chance at beer that is not and should not be available anywhere in the state?

 

I apologize but the truth is, people on this thread are speculating on exactly what store this is and I myself have a general idea where this store is. I just hope someone doesn't blurt out the store name. I blame the reviewer, he should have kept this to himself.

 

ZD is really only distributed in Chicago. I've seen it in the burbs once or twice but the shop keep told me he went to the brewery and bought it. He was charging 13.99 a sixer and I thought that was insane, but 7.99 a bottle!! That's crazy talk!!
