    I'm sending a present to some friends in NJ and I want to include some RR bottles. I know that Philly gets good distro, but can people who live in and around NJ comment on the ease of obtaining Pliny, Blind Pig, Temptation, Supplication, and Consecration? I don't want to send them stuff that they can get by taking an hour or 90 minute drive out of state.

    I know SeekABrew would tell me RR distro, but it's different in the East (I used to live in Philly), where going to another state is much less of a trek.

    Thanks for the help!

    Pliny and Blind Pig are draft only in Philly and you can usually find one or two places pouring them. The sours are definitely around but can be hard to find at times.

    And it's Philly and Philly suburbs only. No distro to NJ or NY except nefariously. Illegally? Eh, not officially.

    Knowing that Pliny is draft-only in Philly makes a difference. I thought Philly could get bottles, which would make a jaunt across the bridge to snag bottles a very different scenario.

    Consecration and Supplication seem to be the easiest ones to acquire but that doesn't mean they're always easy to get. I'm sure they'll appreciate anything you send their way!
