Does anyone know what stores in CT get Sip of sunshine? Also does anyone know if there are stores that carry G Bot? I am going to be passing through CT and wanted to try and pick up some sip or g-bot on the way. Any help is much appreciated. Cheers, Jake
all of them do, good luck though because 95% of stores hide it in the back for patrons. even asking may not get you any, might as well try though! good luck!
This is supposed to be a G-Bot week for certain counties. I know last week was New Haven's drop, and we're supposedly supposed to see it in Middlesex county this week, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I wouldn't hold out much hope for Sip either, but you never know. The drivers and warehouse people that work for company that distributes it, HDI, are currently on strike. Sales reps and brand reps are trying to get products out to the stores, but it's been a shitshow. I drove up there last week to pick up our store's order; I crossed picket lines and dealt with the hectic confusion that was HDI's warehouse. That said, I got to BS with CT's Lawson's rep, who was very chill, though pretty busy operating a forklift and loading up pallets into Ryder trucks.
What route are you planning on taking and when? Sip just dropped last week, so it will be at least a week or two before a new batch is around, most stores in the same distro area get it the same day, and it sells out the same day at most stores, so timing is more important than location. With g-bot you kinda just get lucky, same deal though, it sells out quick. Also like @emount91 said, the majority of stores keep that stuff in back and you need to ask for it.

For G-BOT why not stop at the brewery? They always have G-BOT on tap for sale in 32 or 64 oz growlers.
