Hey all, In town this coming weekend and hoping to score a sixer or two of Transmigration to take back home with me- any leads as to where I might be able to find it? Thanks!
The last batch for the year was canned and shipped a week ago. Where in the city will you be? My first suggestion would be to call (yes, call) the biggest stores--Hop City, Ale Yeah!, Green's, and Tower--right before you go. A lot could happen between now and this weekend. Secondary stores, such as Mac's in Midtown, Sprayberry Bottle Shop and Bullock's in Marietta, etc. would be my next go-to spots. It really depends on where exactly you're going to be and timing. It doesn't move as fast as Tropicalia (although it should, IMO). But it does move.
@elektrikjester advice is spot on. I believe they still have some at the brewery as well (limit 1 6pk) if you wanted to go that route, and they are also releasing bottles of The 12th Labor (BA RIS) on Thursday at the brewery, and that should be available throughout the weekend.
I'm staying in Buckhead but will have a car and know the city from college, so I'll just buzz around the regular spots. Good to know it (might) be available at the brewery should I want to go that route. I've got some Tropicalia waiting for me when I get down there- excited to try it!
if you tweet at greens they will let you know if they have it. also you have good tastes because it is awesome beer.
If you're staying in Buckhead and know the city, then you probably know to check the Buford Highway Green's and Buckhead Tower locations first. @DawgPhan is on the money about Green's Twitter--they usually reply back within an hour. Often within minutes. Orpheus just let people know that they should have it at the brewery. Just realize that you won't be able to get any 12th Labor from there if you go that route. (72 oz. limit per day). That may not be a thing to you, but wanted you to be aware. Trop is great. No doubt. But Trans is the stuff, too.
Tropicalia and TMoS are an excellent start. Another local brewery is Burnt Hickory if you want to try some of their stuff (main ones you'll see around are Cannon Dragger IPA, Ezekiel Wheel pale, Killdozer barleywine, and Big Shanty graham cracker stout....I would check bottle dates on CD and EW). Enjoy your trip!
Ezekiel's Wheel was released this week for the first time in six-packs. So, if you see a sixer of Zeke's, you know it'll be fresh. Definitely a winner.
