2012 Double DBA?

This is 2012 for sure, I have 3 in my cellar. Don't even think 2013 has hit shelves yet.

 

I was just at the brewery, 2013 DDBA will be out early August.

 

Must have got lost in the mail

 

2013 isn't out yet. It's 2012. Same thing happened by me in NorCal today -- picked up two extra to set back with the one I still have in box. Not sure where the boxes went. I was not all that surprised to see them, though -- the guy who does the ordering for the store they were at said their distributor had a bunch of double DBA still in stock, but had it labeled the same as the DBA so it was impossible to get the distributor to ship it... or something like that. He'd mentioned making ongoing efforts to get them to ship it to his store; I guess he eventually succeeded.

 

Tell him he's full of shyte.
He may very well have just got them, but they're still a year old.
That being said, if they're less than $14, grab a couple. When I see them around, as I still do, I grab one. A solid beer all-around.

 

Buy more and send some my way!

 

I just popped open my remaining bottle of it - much smoother than it was 6 months or so back.

 

2013 hit shelves last week in california, clearly marked "2013 vintage, 002"

 

Just confirming that 2013 is definitely out, had no problem picking up 6 in NorCal this past weekend. Not sure who you spoke to at the brewery, but the even had a release party a couple of weekends ago and bottles are available for purchase there as well.

And yes, there is still some 2012 out there as well, but the boxes and labels clearly state which is which, so you shouldn't have any problems telling them apart.

 

It's out in Colorado.

 

a while back when this year's batch of Parabola was released I picked up 3 bottles at Perry's in Livermore. They had just come out and they were keeping the initial shipment in the back. Guy went back and grabbed me 3, 2 said 2013 and one said 2012. Guy swore they came from the same case. Who knows.

 

He may have got them today from the distributor, but as you can see, it says No.001 2012 on the label. That's the first release, in 2012 This years will be No. 002 2013.

Cheers

 

wishing we had these down here in south west florida.
