    For a few years, yeah. Then, when you're a war-weary veteran, with many beer battles under your belt, sometimes you just want a sure thing without all the drama :wink:

    I'm getting there. I don't mind putting in some time, but last night I drove to 4 different stores and nada dang thing after the first one.

    I have more fun shopping when I go up north. I don't have to look for a needle in a haystack. lol

    Yeah, I enjoy building relationships with retailers and visiting, but when you're going into your 15th store of the week after working all day it can be a bit of a drag. Oh well, beats the old days when we didn't have any beer worth chasing!

    This is true.

    Today I chatted with my "work" Specs beer person and the Ben E Keith rep for about half an hour.

    This is true and after the kill, finding of the beer, I feel joyous and yet sad at the same time. Kinda funny.

    HEB Fairmont still had Fragelee as of yesterday.

    And good info obtained?

    Seriously, build relationships now, so later when x beer is released you can make a phone call or send a text and the beer will be yours. Its not difficult because most of the beer guys around town care more about the beer and relationships than their store making an extra $15.

    SOme are saying this bottled version is really "hot" in the alcohol department.. if you get it, you might want to let it age a bit...

    Also... looks like Pontificator bottles are hitting stores.

    I wasn't even looking, and a bottle of this made its way to my hands. I'm really not sure how it's so hard for some people to get beers some times.

    First store (only) I went to today had 2 cases and I only asked to check, I was looking for Commercial Suicide and they had it. Apparently there is still a lot to be distributed and a lot of stores still have it.
