    Has anyone seen this around this area of the country? Particularly in VA (NOVA to be exact), of course, but would like to keep track of where its showing up.

    Was at a local TW the other day and they had it up on the board to show up in early April but from what I've heard it was supposed to be showing up around now. May have already missed it.

    No, you haven't missed it yet. Most places are still unsure about the arrival date of parabola...seems it'll be a bit of a surprise though I'd expect it either this or next week.

    It's always taken forever for FW boxed releases to make it to Va.

    I suspect it after KBS.

    Has anyone heard of this being released anywhere at all in VA yet? I'm willing to put in the effort/drive etc. if it means I can just get a bottle of Parabola but nowhere I've asked has known anything about if/when it might arrive. FW beer finder still says none withing 250 miles but I have no idea how reliable that is to begin with.

    Dont think anyone in SE VA has it yet, a local shop owner told me all the stores in Tidewater are only getting one case each this year, so GL to all finding it.
    I'm sure I am going to trade for it as I am not willing/able to stalk the stores during the daytime for such a small quantity.

    That's really helpful, thank you. Knowing when it's coming would be huge. I know it's more rare than, say, KBS but I don't think it has that level of hype so (I'm hoping) if I found some KBS I could find a Parabola.

    Must not be very accurate or up to date because it hit DC (twice in some stores) last week and early this week. I keep hearing "next week" every week for thew past month from the local stores in Nova.

    Yeah, I got "next week" for two weeks in a row in Tidewater. I've stopped asking.

    Confirmed it's starting to show up in VA (still not on the FW BeerFinder). Time to check back in with your local shop - happy hunting folks!

    Called a shop that was supposed to have it today, they said they had 12 bottles in earlier, but had 7 people in the store waiting around specifically for it to be unloaded. haha. Needless to say it was all gone soon thereafter.
    To the trade forums! :grinning:
