Sucaba

I keep hearing "soon" and "some Thursday."

 

A buddy of mine just got one in a trade box. Probably more days than weeks.

 

So - anyone have any leads or insider knowledge yet? I'm not really in a position to go hunting all over the south half of town for the rest of the month.

 

It hit letspour last week, so I presume this week or next, should be soon enough, I don't think you'll have to go hunting for it, just visit your local store once a week and you should see it.

 

I hope it's that easy. Seems like all of the releases I used to be able to simply just show up and buy are now disappearing in record time. We live in an era where 120 Minute IPA sells out the same day it hits the shelf

 

According to my CR Goodman rep Sucaba hits Denver the first week of March. Spoke with him about it yesterday...

 

I talked to a FW rep at PtY tapping yesterday who said they just got it to the distributer yesterday (Monday) and a store in Greeley says they'll have it on shelves by tomorrow. I think this is finally the week!

 

Well I stand corrected. Draft sucaba is in first of March, bottles in stock in Denver as of today.

 

According to our Firestone rep this years batch was lighter then usual due to expanding into new markets, it will go quickly.

 

Says letspour that still found a way to get 100 Ivan's and 100 Peche and Brett , lol

 

So what you're saying is that Sucaba is raining down on Denver, JoshCla...I mean RyanBilling?

 

I'm still trying to understand the science behind an expanding market affecting the alleged declining volume of production. Is that what Reagan was talking about when he referenced 'Voodoo Economics'? Bueller?

 

Well look at it this way (completely hypothetical), if you normally brew 100 barrels of it spread over 15 states, then brew 120 barrels and spread it over 25 states, it's technically a thinner distribution even though you're expanding to a larger market and brewing more. I understand Ryan's point, but it seemed we had a ton of Parabola still last year.

 

Which is why I struggle with "this years batch was lighter" notions offered by LetsPour (120 being greater than 100). I'm no math wizard, but I'm no slouch either. In fact, I'm a tremendous slouch. Perhaps Ryan was JUST referring to the 'batch' LetsPour received.

My math works like this: I see bottles, I give dollars. In all seriousness, I found a Sucaba 2012 on a CO Springs shelf in November. I'm guessing we see enough to go around (again).

 

I'm not sure exactly the reason why just what I was told. I think they made 3k cases last year and 3500 this year but also expanded distribution into new markets that lowered each states expected supply. I can't comment on Denver's supply as I only buy Firestone products in WA.

I was told parabola will be unaffected. Hope this helps.

 

Nobody on the south end had it...at least not on the shelf.

 

It is definitely upon us. . . .let the madness begin.
