    Will this show up earlier than May (as it's been in year's past)? Sucaba hit really early this year so will the trend continue? Post any sightings or words when it'll hit here. I'm in Atlantic County. Haven't heard anything yet.

    I am wondering the same thing... and not to thread jack, but am also curious the exact date of KBS.

    FWIW, it's already hit NYC. Picked it up at my local grocery store yesterday.

    It's possible.

    We should be seeing an expansion of their line (Pivo, Pale 31, etc) in the next few months as well. I even saw 3 week old UJ last week. Maybe hope isn't lost for FW in NJ.

    Anyone seen anything yet? At this point there's a chance kbs and parabola could be hitting same week. My wallet will not be happy (though with Sunday morning stout, I'm not chasing down kbs like in years past).

    I'm spreading this same rumor hoping for more KBS to be around.

    I'll get at least 2 bottles between my main places. Traded for some more last year and honestly for the price I'm fine with the 2 bottles with buying a case of Sunday morning stout. Parabola on the other hand I will seek out.

    After tracking down all my txts messages from last year in relation to my Parabola hunt in NJ, it looks like I got it June 6th. Does it really hit the state that late, or did I just happen upon some leftovers?

    Most of the Firestone Walker releases were late last year...

    It hit pretty late may early June so sounds right. Sucaba showed up within 2 weeks of it's brewery release this year though so wondering if the same will happen with parabola. I'd be fine with being ahead of the crowd on this. Just don't want to miss cause you blink and it's gone in Nj.

    Yup, June 6th is when I got it too. It had just arrived in the shop that morning

    FWIW, distributor told me he expected it to hit Monmouth County in "early April" when I spoke to them about 10 days ago.

    ive just been using the beer finder on the firestone website to see when it hits the state in general, and would then start hunting.

    is this reliable, or could it hit NJ before they have it listed on their beer finder?

    I've seen it here in Philly and @kjrod20 says it's made it to NY, so I have to believe Jersey will be very soon.

    My S. Jersey source quoted "later in April".

    Who's Firestone's distributor in South Jersey? High Grade services most of North Jersey.

    South of High Grade's territory, it'd be (depending on county) Ritchie & Page, Konrad or Harrison (all AB houses).
