    One of the best non-barrel aged beers if not the best I ever had but don't they it will be sold in Philly. We get other CC offerings but I doubt we will see this anywhere near me. Any recommendations of a good online source that might sell and ship to PA?

    Thanks

    I don't think you will have any luck. Extremely hard to get for the people who live in FL to get. I dont think any store is going to be selling online.

    I agree with yankeej13. If there are any stores online that it would pop up on, this one would be it...

    ...doubtful still though unfortunately. Your best bet may be to hit up the ISO/FT threads.

    Good luck!

    I don't think many retailers will ship to PA because of our laws. ISO/FT would be best bet.

    Oh bummer...I wouldn't mind ISO/FT thread but aside for the typical Pa offerings I don't think I have much to offer in return in terms of quality/quantity.. Thanks for the replies everyone..maybe I'll make a trip out to fl next year. It's worth it for this beer!

    I stumbled on a bottle in NY a week or so ago (Half Time Beverage in Mamaroneck), so it's definitely floating around. You might get lucky and not need to order online!

    I cannot even get it here in Jacksonville, Fl. I been in Tampa and they cannot get enough of it.
    so trade for it if you can find someone who can get it. I seen them line up for it. its good but its not that good. but I say that for any beer.

    Had no idea this site existed. Thanks for the lead. There may not be any Marshal Zhukov here, but there are a lot of other great stouts that I cannot get in Georgia.

    I have ordered from them several times.
    Never a problem and my Jai Alai was always fresh.

    FYI...Lukens stated on Facebook that they WILL be selling Zhukov bottles eventually. I know for a fact they sold them online last year, although they sold out rather quickly. I recommend following them on FB to keep notice of this announcement. I live in Florida and have purchased from them a number of times. There shipping is reasonable and their customer service is excellent. They once sent my beer to the wrong address (a prior address in their system) and they re-sent the package with a bottle of Southern Slice for no additional cost for the troubles.

    I live in Florida and use Luekensliquors.com a ton since a lot of CCB stuff doesn't make it to shelves here in Orlando. Last year when they got Zhukov they had a "planned" day and time that they released it. This year I didn't even see it show up on their site.

    On a side note, Zhukov's is a lot sweeter this year and IMHO not very good. It might be a good beer to cellar.

    Ha, beat me to the punch Rhino.

    I have had similar experiences where they have shipped me the wrong beer, they had the right beer to me the next day and didn't want the wrong beer back. They are great guys and take care of their customers.

    I've got three bottles of Zhukov, and will probably wait until at least November to open them.

    Last year, Leukens sold Zhukov & Life is Like at the same time. Website crashed, but if you used a smartphone using the data connection (not wifi), you were able to access the site and order. Had the beer in my cart, started checkout when things went to hell. Never got the beer, contacted Leukens about it and never even got the courtesy of a reply. So I stopped buying online from them.

    the same thing happened to me MikeT. I had the beer in my cart and the site crashed...it wasn't back up for several hours.
    I actually called the store and was told that the bottles sold out in a matter of minutes.

    Can you really blame them for the high demand?

    Their biggest mistake was announcing the sale about a week before hand...and then CCB shared their FB post. usually they announce the day of.

    I've had Life is Like twice at different bottle shares. Holy shit was that beer good.

    Life is Like was great. Probably my favorite thing that I have had from them in some time. A bar had it here in town and of course it cost me a pretty penny but I enjoyed every last drop.

    Now that FB Choc. Covered Cherry Porter seems to be on tap around town, I have been really happy.

    Sucks that there was issues with the site, i didn't have a problem when i bought my two bottles last year. But i would probably be in your boat if i did Mike.

    @rhino4evr & @troygreer - I actually ended up getting 2 bottles from trades. And the trades were fair - they didn't try to trade rape me. Had the first one at the end of April this year and holy shit was it good! Have the other in the fridge to slow any fade of the cherry. Going to drink that very soon!

    People will probably cringe, but * has one for $60, depending on how bad you want to try it. (shrug)

    Tampa craigslist always has CCB for sale if money isn't a problem for you.
