    I'll be getting plenty of Drink'in and more Boxer's than last time at WFM Kirby on Friday. One bottle limit for Boxer's (for now, and you have to ask for it), Drink'in will be on the floor. I expect these to hit most Houston area stores on Friday.

    I also have plenty of BRUX left, as well as a good amount of Love Child #2, if anyone didn't get any.

    We went the CM Westgate in search of more Drinkin/Boxers. They have Drinkin' at the beer counter, 1 per person. We got two.

    No Boxers though. Will hit up CM up north tomorrow.

    There is still Love Child left somewhere!? Damn it. I never did get any of that.

    Westgate was shorted on the Boxers. Hopefully some will arive early next week.

    Just 2 sixers of the Subrehumano left.

    A case of fresh Deviant Dale's

    A few bottles of the TBA, Stone collaboration still there

    Brux is holding up well.. 2+ cases

    Some bottles of Boulevard's Saisson Bret still around

    and ...

    It looks like just one case of DFH THEOBROMA just came in.

    Cheers.

    I finally made it over to Fort Worth today and stopped at Kings, they still had a few bottles of Boxer's, I got one. They also had a few bottles of Drinkin' on the shelf and I picked up a few of those. There were 2 bottles of Drinkin' sitting on the shelf when I left, and the guy said that there were 3 bottles of Boxer's remaining. You need to ask for Boxer's and I think they are limiting it to one per person.

    Glad you didn't make the drive for nothing. Drinkin is a really really solid beer. I missed fresh the first go around

    Called around today, seems like it hit a few places today in dfw, and some got shorted. Meaning, virtuoso printed them an invoice with a case of each and did not deliver a case of boxers or drinkin, as the invoice implied. Needless to say they were quite pissed.

    Me too! I called before I left to make sure they still had some, they didn't say how much over the phone, but when I got there, the person I spoke with said they were not sure if they are going to be getting anymore of either beer. I can't wait to try them both, I'm going to open up a Drinkin' tomorrow night while watching the opening ceremonies.

    They also had plenty of Brux on the shelf.

    It sounds like a cluster. It's really funny that one Central Market in Austin got Boxer's and the other Drinkin'. My other haunts haven't gotten it yet and are apparently being told every day "tomorrow" or are being shorted.

    Yeah, they crossed out boxers on the invoice, or crossed out drinkin, saying they didn't have any more. Seemed sketchy.

    I'm not going to jump to conclusions about the distribution issues, bits and pieces of the problem have already been mentioned. This I'm sure, threads like this certainly don't help the feeding frenzy that ensues. Not being into wine, I suspect relatively few wines see the same truck chasing releases simply because they can distribute their 'select' offerings directly.

    The one concerning thing is any store receiving 5 cases surprises me, even in Austin. Seems a large % of the total for one grocer

    (just thinking ahead, should this thread die and 2.0 start for the next round of releases?)

    ah well.
