    I know a couple of places still have some. Smyrna Beer Market (The Stout Brothers) and I believe Sprayberry Bottle Shoppe has a few left as well.

    I got some in Roswell yesterday, seems like the whole town got a big shipment. Can't wait to crack it in a little.

    Sounds it sounds like there was another shipment sent then...

    Well, hell yes.

    Hop City posted a picture of a few cases they got. I'll be stopping by Green's after work to see if they got some too. Hopefully this becomes a regular thing!

    Edit: They just posted this on facebook:

    "Hello, Georgia friends. Some of you may have noticed seeing some CCB beer around the state lately. Well we are proud to say that we are officially distributing back to your fine state and loving the feedback so far!

    For now we can't promise the moon and the stars, but we are sending some of our core beers to be distributed to the smaller, local independent bottle shops and bars. Eventually we plan to be everywhere, but it'll take some time!

    Cheers guys!"

    Glad this will be a regular thing.

    I wonder which core beers we'll get.

    Definitely excited about this. Curious to see if we get any seasonal/limited releases.

    I went around yesterday and picked up my "share" for the next couple weeks. I figured Greens would have a bunch, but by mid day yesterday, I apparently got the last 2 sixers in the store. None in the back.

    Whole Foods is also carrying it, and they have a pretty plentiful supply. Albeit the price was a bit higher, but they had it in the coolers.

    I bought almost a whole case yesterday within a 3 block radius, so I was thrilled. I love this stuff!

    I'm hoping they can continue this, plenty of support in Georgia for them.

    Now, send us some Cubano Espresso, and some Good Gourd and Big Sound!

    I don't know if we'll get the big bottles, but I'm pretty sure anything that is in cans will be fair game for distro to GA (I hope I'm wrong about the bottles). I was just glad they responded to my tweet, that was nice of them. Most breweries don't even bother.

    I know it's been said before, but it's worth saying again: It's flat out sickening (in a totally awesome way) that we can get 2 DAY OLD Jai Alai from Florida, while you can't sniff a local GA IPA that's less than two weeks old (more often than not at least)

    I do love the freshies... Local guys won't be able to keep up. I've officially switched from SW IPA to Jai Alai as my "daily IPA" fix. It's my everyday beer now. Especially if I know I can find it somewhat reliably in the future. Appears we've gotten Oct 8, and Oct 29 canning dates, and two shipments.

    I'm cool with that! Wish some places close to the house would get it now, or better yet. Publix. I would DESTROY it if my local Publix down the road could get it.

    getting into Publix is quite difficult. it may be a while yet before that happens in Georgia.

    Hey, just wishful thinking there! I'm completely happy to find it at Whole Foods even if my beer store is out.

    10 cases last less than 2 days at my one stop.

    Our two cases went in less than a day.

    I missed out on the first round of this since I was out of town, but just stopped by World of Beverage in Fairburn and they got another shipment in today… 10 cases canned on 10/29! I hope this is a sign of increased availability to come in the Atlanta area.

    Two more cases hit us yesterday. Definitely seems to be readily available now.

    Has anyone seen any Jai Alai in the Norcross area?

    Hopefully we will see more of their lineup.
