Firestone Walker Parabola

This is a perennial problem around my parts.

 

You think my roommate who lives in Virginia could get some for me fairly easily? He'll be back the 1st week of May like around May 5th.

 

Love Parabola, I like to stay stocked up on it for the year. It never dissapoints.

 

Its easy to get A bottle. Its more difficult to get bottleS. Even though they bottle something like 25K most stores just get a couple of cases and let them go with limits of 1. You have to work and drive to get multiples even in Southern California which is not too far away from the brewery.

 

I just want one anyways since I've never had it so I'm not gonna be greedy.

 

So I don't know of people were still looking for this beer or not but I found a store about 20 min from me that has a bunch on the shelves. LMK if you guys need a mule

 

it's hitting Virginia starting today...

 

I was only able to secure one bottle for Tuesday and was told my area got shorted on allocation :sadface:

Just got a tip from another BA that a local bar should be tapping a keg. Can't wait...never had it.

 

it's not that the Hampton Rhodes area got shorted on allocation, Virginia got shorted on allocation!

 

Son of a

 

This, this, this. I actually got 2 cases last year. After talking to my rep I won't be seeing any this time around. He only had 1 case each allocated to 2 of his accounts.

 

Scored about 5 bottles here in San Diego. Drank one last night, it was very good. I get a bit more coffee than usual, and a bit more heat. Still excellent.

 

@ $30/bottle someone's off their friggin' rocker.

 

yeah much, much less than last year. Richmond metro is only getting 4 cases and 1 keg this year

 

I've been in touch with the Nova and RVA Total wines they said they are getting cases (probably one case per store) in a few weeks

 

I have a bottle for trade, livein Chicago so looking for Russian River Supplication or any of their beers that don't make it this way.

 

So still no word on the disagreement between Firestone Walker and NJ distributors? Anyone know?

 

I still saw a couple bottles of Parabola at Connecticut Ave Wine & Liquor in DC a couple days ago, $16.99.

They still had a LOT of Sucaba there, $16.99 as well.

 

Picked one up at Chevy Chase Wine and Spirits the other day. 1 bottle limit, and I know they had at least 1 left. I was able to call ahead and reserve it.

 

Yeah, I know there was a 1 bottle limit for Parabola, and I'd assume the same was true for Sucaba, as well.
