    Can someone explain to me why New Haven county in CT always gets beer 2 to 4 weeks after Fairfield, Litchfield and Hartford counties?

    One recent example is Sierra Nevada's Narwhal. A Fairfield county store has gotten their second shipment of Narwhal in ( The first shipment came in early August ). While New Haven county has not even gotten one shipment yet?

    What is going on ( or should I say not going on ) in the New Haven county beer distribution network?

    Can't say exactly, but one reason is some brands are distributed by different distributors in different counties. I don't think that's the case for Sierra though.

    Sierra does have two different distributors, Northeast does Fairfield County & G & G does New Haven. It all varies on who will get what first based on when they need a shipment. You could see Narwhal first in Fairfield and then Celebration first inNew Haven.
