Called a few distributors in the Harrisburg area today about Lagunitas. One told me they pulled out of the Central Pa market about 3 years ago, one said they will be getting Lagunitas products in early Feb. and one said check back. I'm wondering if anyone knows the deal with them in the Central Pa market? I am looking for a case of Sucks as it is one of my favorite beers. Last year I picked some up while traveling in NY. Looking to buy a case locally if possible.???
Three distributors and three different answers. Seems like nobody knows what's going on. I'd like to help but I suggest contacting Lagunitas directly. I have emailed them in the past and received fairly prompt responses. And accurate as well.
I emailed Lagunitas, hopefully will hear back soon. I have a feeling I will be driving to the Philly market to get some Sucks, though. I haven't seen any Lagunitas here in Hbgh. in a while.
We don't get cases in the Lehigh Valley either. We will only get what Abe's gets from Origlio near Philly, who is the wholesaler in eastern PA, and that's not much. I always wondered why Shangy's couldn't get any.
I work at a bar in Harrisburg, and just before Christmas my W&L rep told me that they "landed" Lagunitas and will start getting their beers in early 2013.
I did get a response from my email to Lagunitas and they said they would pass it along to the PA rep and get back to me. It would be great to get their beers back to Central PA, as I really enjoy many of them! I guess I didn't realize that all this time I would pick up a few here and there in NY(not Harrisburg) while vacationing. Come back Lagunitas! )
I live in Chester county, about 45 minutes outside downtown Philly and the distributors in my area seem to have a pretty good selection of Lagunitas cases in stock.
Sucks will arrive at some local distributors during the week of Jan 21. At least in the Chester county area.
W&L Sales out of Harrisburg just confirmed my earlier comment by posting this on their Facebook today:
I was at The Fridge of Lancaster,Pa and they have a 6 or 7 different Langunitas to choose from. So if ya want some you can find it there!
Good Morning All I am the Craft Brand Manager at W&L Sales. We will start selling Lagunitas IPA, Sucks, Hop Stoopid and Cappuccino in 22oz bombers starting Feb 28, 2013
I got a facebook message yesterday from W&L that it would start selling Lagunitas in the Harrisburg area starting Jan. 28th.
My local distributor (Chester County) sells cases of Little Sumpin Sumpin so I'd imagine you can find it in Pa somewhere.
