Firestone Walker - Parabola 2014

Can't find

 

I just got lucky and picked up the last bottle of Parabola at Binny's in Naperville. They charged $15.99...not too shabby.

 

That's (somewhat) hilarious! Only in CA

This is why I do trades to get things we don't see around here in Philly.

 

Nash distributes Firestone Walker in North Jersey. And yes, their communication with local bottleshops is erratic at best.

 

That must be around no. Cal because down here on so.cal, we are all out and the hype made it so scarce to even find one.

 

Just got a bottle at foremost out here near chicago. It's starting to show up on more shelves this weekend than last!

 

FYI, the Rocklin/Fairway Total Wine here in the Sacramento area got Parabola today or yesterday. I got a "back in stock" notification email at 4 AM this morning..

 

Unless you consider Escondido NorCal...sure

 

forgot about stickee monkey... Man I just want a breather after all the releases.

 

I have now heard May 12 from a Firestone rep, for Dallas area.

 

Apparently there's talk about a Barrelworks release on the 17th of something interesting. Or so the little birds say. I don't imagine Stickee Monkey will be all that hard to get. Velvet Merkin was a shelf beer in SoCal the first time out.

 

Came and went on Friday in Columbia. Lasted maybe an hour at each location but generally most were reserved and all were kept in the back. 6 bottles per store was common.

 

every year people say this. last year it came out the first week of may in south jersey. it always takes about 2 full months before NJ gets it.

 

So annoying. I wish FW would switch and use Hunterdon instead.

 

I got one, do you want it that bad? Its going to take a big envelope even after being broken down.

 

Because velvet merlin sucked.

 

It was a single person Parabola. Velvet Merkin was a pretty damn tasty beer. Then again, Double DDB sits on the shelf as well and it's amazing.

Simply put - if it doesn't have Parabola on the label, it's not perceived as insta-buy for many.

 

Hearing it will hit all of VA this week, but since some claim that it's already hit, but haven't found anyone that actually got a bottle...

 

Got a few Parabola in a trade, I like the new labels. It's bad that trading for it is an easier way to get in than buying it in Texas. I also got some other great CA. beers. You guys are so lucky with all your easy to get beers.

 

Picked up a bottle in Norfolk today.
