    This was a nice surprise when I was looking for Jai Alai

    So close to Pittsburgh, yet so far.

    How much is a case going for?

    It was $33 or $38. I remember it being under $40 which surprised me. More surprising was a bottle shop I stopped at right before said they wouldn't be seeing any of it until January.

    Not sure how far off the interstate you are but I'm heading back to MI Sunday afternoon and I know we go through the outskirts of Pittsburgh.

    $38.99 and 24 cases in stock according to their online inventory (assuming this is where I think it is based upon the shelf racks. Is that sad that I can identify a distributor by shelving? )

    Edit: So did you get Jai Alai at a $6 premium over Sucks? Or did you buy both?

    Totally appreciate the offer! But I'll just wait until it hits the area, no need to delay a long trip to Michigan. It shouldn't be too difficult to get ahold of around here. Worst case scenario, I'll grab some when I visit Buffalo during the holidays.

    JDaddy lets see, the place was... Breski Beverage.

    Shmuffalo sounds good, wanted to make sure you got some if it wasn't going to hit around you.

    Yeah, you didn't mention it in your post so I figured maybe you were trying to avoid them getting bombarded.

    Question (if anyone knows), http://lagunitas.com/distributors/# lists 3 distributors in PA including Origlio in Philly, BeerMart in Reading and Frank Fuhrer in Pittsburgh. Are those the only 3 "2nd tier" distributors in PA? The thing that is unclear to me is it has one serving "greater Philly", one serving "greater Pitt" and the other serving "Berks County" (which seems kind of limited distro - one county). I am obviously in Berks and hoping Sucks in H'burg passed through BeerMart and I will find it there tomorrow.

    I haven't heard of it hitting the Pittsburgh area yet, but then again our distribution system is controlled by manatees with idea balls.

    I'd assume Berks County has a better chance of getting it sooner than later.

    Jdaddy it was just an oversight as I was excited from finding it and getting my first Pliny.

    Idea balls?

    South Park reference. Our distribution system is nonsensical.

    FWIW, I mentioned Sucks had hit PA to one of my buddies and he swears it has been in Kunda Beverage in KOP for a couple weeks. I would assume it is hitting over Philly shelves very shortly and further assume that Pittsburgh should be rolling it out very soon as well. Manatees with idea balls. Christ that is striking me as incredibly funny for some reason.

    In my estimation, it would appear that you are just overall life winning right now!

    I was told by a beer guy at a pretty crafty store that it would not be hitting Philly till Early-Mid Jan. Which is disappointing because I was hoping to have some for the holidays. And Mid - Late Jan is when Hopslam and Nugget came out last year too.
