When does Pliny hit next?

Rolled in and out of Mondo Vino, they let a few people buy cases of it, it was gone in like 2-3 hours. I mean the whole entitlement discussion aside, that's a pretty douche-y thing to do. I know some stores don't care about bottle limits and rely on people to have some sort of moral fabric, but it just doesn't happen. Aside from ^Lukas of course where they give people a day or two notice and announce a specific time they'll release it. But hey, first come first served.

 

Yeah there should be some kind of limit, I was surprised to learn the store I go to has a six bottle limit, I am number three on that list so I am awaiting the call. Realistically 3 or 4 would be the most they should do, but its not my business I can't tell them how to run it! Ring phone ring!!!

 

Yea, I'm not saying the stores aren't free to do what they want, just does not seem very logical to benefit a few vs. many. It's around and not that hard to find elsewhere.

 

There are other IIPAs in the world people!!!! Try something local!!! Yeesh.

 

I would just like to remind the general BA community that I had nothing to do with this particular thread.

 

A case of Pliny is a lot. Think of all the walez you could land.

 

Its great but I can't imagine wanting a whole case of Pliny. Alpine Nelson is a different story.

 

It's no different than stores posting/tweeting they have certain bottles available when in actuality, they're spoken for before such information is made public. What's the point. So you got a certain bottle. Great. Drink it. Businesses are free to do whatever they want. Sometimes I don't like it, but for the most part I don't care. And Pliny sucks. The only time I seek it out is to pass it along to others. Thanks for listening fellow CO BAs. I love this online family. Hugs to all.

 

Plinedawg dropped this morning bros, undrinkable by lunch time. Next.

 

I'm a bit surprised with this. Usually Pliny sits on Mondo's shelf for a couple of days. Must have been a random customer (or 2) getting cases....or perhaps their allocation was thinner.

 

Silverthorne just got it in today, so there is hope for all who are still ISO

 

Where in silverthorne can you get it?

 

We seem to sell out within a few days, but if any of you guys are up around Boulder, hit up Centennial Wine, Get it every other 3 weeks and it last two days. (We even have a two bottle limit)

 

Any idea when it will hit next? Do you just harass the liquor stores everyday by calling?

 

Argonaut had some yesterday.

 

Hit last week.

 

Would you guys say it's raining down? I'm trying to get my vocab right.

 

If Cantillon rains down at 20 cases for the state of Colorado every 6 months, I'd consider Pliny to be a pouring down at 40 cases every 5 weeks. Pliny for everyone! (numbers completely made up) But seriously if Cantillon was misting, this is more like a sprinkle.

 

This sounds like a beer geek mathematical word problem.

If Cantillon is raining down at a speed of 10 cases per 5 million in population, and Pliny the Elder arrives in the state at a rate of 50 cases, is Pliny considered to be:
A) Raining down
B) Pouring in
C) Crapping all over
D) Too old to drink already
