May as well start with this one, have been harassing the various beer peeps at WF and all of the local shops in the city and Brooklyn, any leads?
It dropped around SoCal in the last few days. I'd guess another 1.5-2 weeks before it sees east coast distro.
Really? Damn...they must've improved their cross-country routes. Hell, Velvet Merkin was available just a couple short weeks ago.
Yeah I thought last year it was about a month later that it made its way out here. Maybe better this year.
It's weird, 19th Anniversary showed up here at the same time as Velvet Merkin which was released in September. I'm pretty sure I remember the same thing happening with helldorado and Stickee Monkey arriving here at the same time too,
I have a bottle, Top Hops had one or two cases only, and if they got that little.. Wiling to trade the Anniv if someone really wants it.
One place had it in CMC two weeks ago. Which is very early and none of the other stores that normally have it, got it. Not sure what happened, but I got one bottle at Rio Grande Canals. Never saw Velvet Merkin this year.
Circle liquor in Atlantic County and Super Liquor in Cape May County had it 3 weeks ago and Velvet as well I believe
Thanks its suck a lottery down here to find it. Rio Grande Canal use to put it on the shelf and if someone wanted all 6 of what they got, they could just buy them all. Now they are started keeping stuff in the back and putting per person limits.
Someone there told me they were gonna start doing that last year. I'm not down that way that often anymore so I never really followed up on them sticking to it.
