Firestone Walker Sucaba (2014, Batch 004)

Zope. Though I must admit, I haven't been looking very hard.

 

Will this stick around in chicago for a few weeks? I'm hoping to snag a bottle later this month when I'm there

 

If it does, it'll explain the shortage here in Colorado

Most stores got it in today, but most only got 6 bottles of it and sold out in an hour.

 

Seriously. Massive shortage here in Denver. I got lucky and snagged one because I was checking Facebook at the right time.

 

lots here. can trade you CO dudes for some (would love to get a Rumpkin or Uncle Jacobs)

 

$14 @ Total Wine in AZ

 

Doesn't UJ's make it to CA? I thought I remember getting some this time last year in Ocean Beach...

 

Walnut Creek Bevmo has it (North Main) according to webpage

 

Just grabbed a bottle in RI. I'm kinda pissed that FW rose the price. I could get this for 14.95 plus tax around these parts for the last 2 years and now this year a bottle of Sucaba cost me 20 and change after tax...

 

I grabbed mine at Binny's for $14.99, if I recall; they usually charge MSRP for their beers, so I'm wondering if people are just getting wise to FW's greatness, and are jacking up prices on their own?

 

Hazels in Boulder just got 3 cases 2x per person.

 

When did you pick this up. Hasn't hit stl yet.

 

Well this place that I went to is notorious for having lower prices. I even bought a Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek for 30 bucks at this place, while other stores are charging upwards of 50 bucks.

I'm thinking you got a deal, because I noticed that Parabola was selling for 17+ in 2013.

 

I picked mine up last Thursday, but Binny's still had some yesterday when I was there (don't know if you can get to Chicago or thereabouts, but it's been in for a little while here).

 

Well, I could certainly be mis-remembering! Who knows.

 

Just found a bottle sitting in a local package store in RI. There were three left. At $18.99 a bottle, I only purchased one. The cashier said that they had 20 an hour before I got there. My question is, being the first time I've been able to get this beer, is do I drink it tonight or do I age it for a year? Seeing as I've never had it, I wouldn't exactly know if it is better with age (although I'm assuming it definitely does).

 

FW only raised the price a dollar -- your store is jacking it up further on their own.

 

I personally prefer fresh.

FWIW...Local group did a blind tasting for all vintages and they unanimously decided B1 & B4 were the best.

 

Got some for trade

 

Just grabbed a bottle of this today. If anyone would like to trade for it, let me know. I'm interested more in sours that I can't get out here in CO. HIT ME UP FOR SUCABA BATCH 004
