    Just this past week, Indiana received Firestone Walker brews like Sucuba, Pivo, Union Jack, Nitro Merlin & Luponic Distortion. Now my question is, Is this going to be a regular distribution or just some pop up test? Cuz I went to their distro map and it still doesn't show Indiana. Thanks ahead and cheers!

    I wonder this as well. Once the word was out around me it flew off the shelves. I haven’t been to a store that didn’t run out within 24hrs. I would love to see more. Firestone Walker! Keep it coming!

    Sucuba in bottles or just on tap? Saw it on tap but not bottles. What about Parabola?

    Sucuba was released in the bottles. I'm not sure about on tap anywhere. And Parabola is a March 25th release, so we will see it then or shortly after (that's if FW is here to stay)

    Thought I saw that they were hiring a sales/marketing rep for Indiana. I assumed that meant it was more than a short-term trial. Hope so, I've enjoyed the few beers I've had from them when traveling outside the state.

    They did hire a Rep and nothing I've heard from him or my distributor has sounded like anything other than an regular, ongoing distribution agreement.

    Good, thanks! That Pivo could really be a regular in my life.

    Has anyone heard if this will make its way here?

    Can't find any Sucaba. Must have been a very limited distribution or I'm too late.

    The two places I know that got it, it didn't last 24 hours. That was last Wednesday

    I think my store (Crown on Southport Rd) might be getting a case tomorrow. If we do, I'll be sure to post back in here.

    Visited your store yesterday and took advantage of the 30% off domestic bombers sale. Picked up a bottle of barrel-aged Old Rasputin. I try not to buy bombers very often, but 30% off did the trick for me.

    Sorry for the tangent, now back to the Firestone Walker thread. (of which you guys appeared to be sold out of the Pils but had the mixed starter box and a couple of the other sixers.)

    Yeah, man. It's a hell of a deal! I bought quite a few bottles myself, including a BA Old Rasp and an Old Stock Cellar Reserve.

    For some reason, it looks like World Class is all out of Pivo right now. So, we have to go another week until we might possibly get some unfortunately. But, at least we've got everything else available from them. Their Nitro Merlin is better than I expected.

    Bridge Liquors in New Albany got Sucaba last week. 2 bottle limit then changed to 1 bottle limit. Gone in a day

    So, the bad news is that my store didnt get a case. However, I will be sampling out a bottle tomorrow (Friday) from 6pm-8pm at my store, along with some other good beers, if anyone wanted to try it.
