    Wondering if anyone knows any stores that may have this or if it even makes it way up here.

    yea I see ccb on the shelves, but not anything limited that they do. Really want to get my hands on this though. If anybody has a source it would be appreciated.

    CCB actually doesn't distribute to NYC anymore. They were here for about a year in 11-12 but pulled out bottles and cans completely. They did a tap takeover at Pony Bar a few months back but any bottles besides collabs (gentleman's club/tropical tripel) are old. If you really want CCB www.luekensliquors.com is an awesome site that ships..... they have good gourd up right now and have fresh Jai Alai and Zhukov occasionally. I've ordered from them before and the shipping is top notch and reasonable.

    CCB does not distribute in NY and has not for years. Anything you see on any shelf is very old.

    Amazing. And not that it matters but i wouldn't be surprised if that was not distributor delivered but rather picked up by the store themselves. I've been to the brewery several times in the last year and they have told me they can't keep up with FL demand, let alone distribute to other states. Thanks for posting, wish i was closer.

    It seems these 2 beers are showing up on LI. If they can keep up with demand, I bet we will only see the canned stuff. Pretty cool though, I've wanted to try Jai Alai

    I'd love to hear sightings if this shows up in Manhattan too. Just a tease if they are sending a limited one time supply up here and we won't see it again for 2-3 years. I think the last time I saw (or heard about) Jai Alai in NY, it was in bottles so that shows how long it's been.

    It was actually distributed GoGators, They must have had a ton. I wouldn't hold my breath on it showing up again anytime soon though.

    CCB is sending Jai Alai and Hopped on the High Seas to NY and it has hit NYC. Remains to be seen if they will continue this practice or if this is a once or once in a while occurrence. They even gave a heads up on FB that they were sending it. There are a few spots with other CCB products but I'm not sure if they've been sitting for a really long time now. Tropical Tripel is also a recent arrival but that may have come via De Proef's distro.
