    Hey all. I know we're at least a week away from the BCBS madness hitting PA, but I wanted to see what distributors are likely to get cases to sell to the public? Rather than fighting for a four-pack when it hits bottleshops, I'd rather fight for a case when it hits distributors haha

    If anyone has any tips for the most likely distributors in the city/immediate burbs to get cases, please share them!

    I'll add to this a bit instead of making a new thread. Anyone know the GI distributors in the PA area overall? Specifically looking for the Lehigh Valley, so Shangy's? Stockertown?

    Would also be interested in splitting a case with anyone who can get one, or if I can, given the $ and all of 24 bottles...

    Any one want to split a case of fou'foune? I'll gladly take half or all if you don't want it. Seriously good luck, but as hard as that stuff is to land, most people will trade it away if they get a whole case. You'd be lucky as hell to find someone who will sell you half of their case.

    If I get FOUR cases...I'm not trading a bottlle. I went through 3 cases of the 2011 release. Love that stuff. That's drinkin' beer.

    im curious to see what the bottle shop markup will be on these. of course, i want a case (or half) as well, but i feel like that's a long shot at best.

    I've heard word that it'll be draught only too...this time. As the program expands we'll in all likelihood see bottles too. I'm fine just having the chance to have it on tap at a few places.

    I had 2 pours at St Stephens Green last Thursday. I guess it must of been the 2011 batch? They still had some as of 2 days ago according to phillytapfinder

    Kicked at St. Stephens. Tapped yesterday at Bishops and very likely still pouring. Still on at Kraftwork as of yesterday, but that one very likely kicked. I should have an update today.

    there was an initial handful of sixtels that penn recieved last month. Some of which have not been tapped by the bars that got them. Sometime in october, but not sure when, they will get some more kegs and some cases. Im not sure of how many , but more than 50 cases. However, that is for 2 counties, so there wont be tons of it around. I would guess a case or two for the highest volume goose island beer distributors and the rest of the cases going to the bottle shops
