    Ah that sucks. I was actually gonna tack on "Lookin at you Great Lakes" to the end of my last post but I didn't because I wasn't sure what happened, so there ya go.

    So AleSmith and now Knee Deep are RTP/Triangle only right now, which is too bad as I'm in Charlotte. I'll have to try to find some when I go East next time.

    yea I saw Belgo-Hoptologist and Hop Shortage were in Raleigh, but havent seen them in Chapel Hill, Durham. Not even at Sam's bottle.

    Knee Deep just arrived in Charlotte. Look forward to trying a couple if the price point is decent.

    Total Wine:
    Hoptologist DIPA 4.99
    Simtra 10.99
    Belgo Hoptologist 8.99
    Midnight Hoppyness 8.99

    DIPA bomber for $5, thats even cheaper than Seeing Double!

    Hoptologist is my favorite of their offerings! I traded for all of these beers this past Winter! I bet the Simtra is fresher than the one I got on trade though!

    You should be good to go! $4.99 hoptologist is a steal!

    thats what i think too! I thought it was a $10 bomber when I received in a trade 2 years ago.

    Anybody know what the deal is with Crooked Stave bottles suddenly showing up at Sam's? I can't find any information on distribution.

    Popping up at a couple of places around the Triad as well - saw Bestway and City Beverage mention that they have it in stock.

    From what I've seen, St. Bretta, Vielle and another I can't remember at the moment.

    And yes it is St Bretta, Vielle, and Surette are the first 3 we are getting.

    Millenium got a very small shipment that they sent to a select few accounts in the area. Word is that they are getting a second shipment is coming from Crooked Stave at the end of the month.

    I'm starting to wonder if my travels have anything to do with what shows up in distribution in NC. Was up in Pittsburgh and picked up some Alesmith Speedway Stout and like two weeks later its announced that NC is getting distro. Last month I was in northern CA and picked up some Crooked Stave Surette and surely enough now it ends up in NC...

    Beers gods, why you follow me?
