    Guaranteed to be the first 'lingering' release of 2016!

    "Hey, you need any help?"
    "Nah, just waiting for the Wirtz truck"

    Yeah...this is what I was afraid of...I swear to God, my girlfriend exclusively loves beers I have to kill myself to get (Prop '14, this, BA Caliente).

    WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MAN?!!?

    Doh, yeah I messed up. A golden opportunity for store employees to troll the lingerers :wink:

    "Where's the Wirtz truck?"
    "Hasn't come yet."

    Asked at a few different Binnys in the burbs and it didn't sound like they anticipate getting any. Maybe it will just be in the city?

    I just called Binny's Grand and they told me they don't have any. That went fast.

    They only had one case. Went there at 12pm with success. Coworker went in 30 minutes later, all gone. I'm wondering if smaller stores will get it in this week.

    Honestly, I got there around...11:30 am or so, and when I asked for the beer, the guy said "came in this morning." So I don't know how far into their stock they were at the time. I also heard someone asking for it as I left, so I would imagine that the lunchtime crew was arriving to clear it out. I would think you might still have a shot at LP or Clark.

    Wasn't aware of this beer. I was in the Grand store about 11:45 and I saw someone get a bottle. Might have been you, LOL!

    Bright blue jacket and a beard (not on my neck, though!)? Could've been, if so.
