    RICHMOND, VIRGINIA!

    We are now regularly distributing Jai Alai IPA to Richmond and Northern Virginia through Brown Distributing! Soon we hope to send even more beers up there, too.

    Cheers guys!

    Sweet!

    I did enjoy finding 4 month old Jai Alai every once in awhile. But yes, it's about damn time.

    Gotta take care of the locals first fellas!:wink:

    I'm Central Florida, not more than 1.5 hours from the brewery, and Jai Alai was difficult to find just a few months ago. Props to CCB for ramping up like this and making plenty of this wonderful beer

    I used to get 2-3 day old Jai Alai at my local Publix. The last 6 pack I bought was a month old, so I'm glad they're sharing the wealth to cut down on the availability for fresher dates. I'd rather not find it for a week or so and get it fresh than to have it readily available at a month old

    I agree with that.. In ATL we are getting it now, and it's fresh. I bet more places will get it, and I'll have to start looking at canning dates, but... regardless.. thrilled to have it. It's my everyday beer.

    Heard the CCB you guys get is fresher than most local brews you guys get. Props to CCB! Glad that other parts of the country get to enjoy their beers, and fresh! Drink up!

    Not often, but they have delivered Dark Horse to Total Wine before. So all hope is not lost.

    not by Brown, they don't hold the VA registration to Dark Horse down in the Tidewater area.
    Cigar City isn't even approved for the Tidewater area, by any distributor.

    Last week at TW St. Pete, they had some that was 6+ weeks old. Have no idea what's up with that. I used to see it there a day old.

    Once again they passed literally RIGHT THROUGH NC without stopping. Doesnt seem to make sense.

    CCB has been in Richmond (sporadically at best) for the past 2 years.
    (I also hear Westbrook will be launching in VA as well soonish)

    ok why do breweries pass through NC all the time? It doesnt seem to make sense at all.

    My car isnt very fast, will yours do?
