Framboise De Amorosa

I don't think it will make it there. Typically it is a brewery only (barring a few rare stores you are either good friends with LA or buy the beer and resell it). I guess this year they are doing a small amount of distro in SD, I would be shocked if it made it to the bay area.

 

Not the Bay Area, but I found it in Long Beach today.

 

Why does Lost Abbey lie???

 

Why does Alpine taste good. Just because.

Cheers!

 

No distribution. Being on shelves doesn't mean the brewery distributed it, it means the store sent some runners down to buy it and resell it.

I know of 3 SD stores that did this.

 

yeah I doubt this. My store just got some and I know the beer guy would not do this.

 

It was definitely distributed last year, bought two bottles in CO.

 

Agreed. Same with my store. It's obv hitting some local distro.

 

I asked - "yeah my brother and his friend went up and bought 12". These are stores with full bore LA accounts who get everything they distribute.

 

So maybe now they have 24 bottles? Could have went up and bought them not knowing they would get a case from distro?

 

Yeah who knows I guess. I wonder how many cases there are. I heard 160 from a person behind the bar but you know how that goes..... there could be 80 or 2000.

 

I will soon enough, I am heading to my local beer store tonight and I will ask the beer guy.

 

So what Lost Abbey actually said was that "Amorosa will not go into general distribution" this does not mean zero distribution or brewery only.

It could have meant that they would be self distributing it.

 

Okay you are right, my statement is retracted. Reading comprehension 101, I didn't take it.

 

How much are they running for? I know Red poppy is around 14-17$ a bottle. Yikes.

 

Or, it could mean SoCal only.

 

I bought a bottle for 16 something at Whole Foods today in SD. So there is some distribution.

I think Lost Abbey said something similar about Cuvee de Tomme, but that still hit shelves locally.

 

$15 at LA - so 17 sounds right @ retail. Worth it, unlike Red Poppy!
