    Too bad it doesn’t concern me since Firestone does not distribute to Wisconsin!

    Seems to me living in WI you don’t need DJ. :slight_smile:

    Still perplexed why it’s not in WI. Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois receives it plentiful . Strange. Maybe we’re just too good for it :wink:.

    I'm cautiously happy to hear this. As others have mentioned, when reasonably fresh, DJ was an amazing dipa. Unfortunately, all too often fresh DJ was pretty hard to obtain when living in Baltimore. Now that I live in PDX, I'm not sure what to expect, but am hoping to maybe see it on tap around town. Probably not going to buy cans if they only come in a mixed 6 pack format.

    That’s on the distributor. It’s their choice what they bring to the market. Illinois is almost exclusively pivo cans

    I'm guessing no, but anyone know if DJ draft will be shipped out as well? Or is it the 12-pack cans only?

    Can't wait to get some. I remember going to the jersey shore and being all excited because I couldn't get it in ct. At the time it was in the top 250 beers

    Hell at least you see it... only time I can find it is if I go to Paso to their visitor center/gift shop. Shoot, even the Firestone Grill in Bakersfield doesn't have Pivo. :rage:

    I have to echo what others are saying. Here in CT I can't find any Firestone Walker that's under six months old. There was a time 3 or 4 years ago when my fridge always had some FW in it...back when I could get it fresh...Double DBA, Eazy Jack, Union Jack, Double Jack, and especially the Leo vs. Ursus series (well all except for inferos and wookus.)

    Firestone Walker if you are listening please sort out your distro so that we can purchase your beer fresh.

    This. I've NEVER seen a fresh bottle/can of Pivo, ever, so to this day I still have not tried it.

    Browsing Untappd I saw one post of a can date of 9/13. Also, saw a post stating they wish it was fresher. Haven’t seen it yet and I can only hope that there is a fresher batch than 9/13.

    that's not looking good for us up here then. there are still lots of the previous mixed pack with easy jack and lager and most of the stores here will sit on those until they are gone before putting out a new pack
