Terrapin Imperial Pumpkin Pie Porter

Still nothing in North Carolina either, and I'm watching like a hawk.

 

We'll be doing the Raleigh release at our beer dinner for Raleigh Beer Week next Thursday. I think bottles and additional draft will be the following week (for Raleigh that is).

 

I'm hearing Brown slipped and released a few cases around South FL in Broward County accounts, though nothing yet for Miami-Dade AFAIK.

 

No sighting in Tampa as of this week.

 

Georgia will be the last to get it the releases again this year I bet.

I've been told 1st or 2nd week of Sept.

Not chase worthy.

 

why do you say that? Since last year's bottles were a little underwhelming vs the difficulty in landing bottles?

 

Yeah, last year, WCMH showed up everywhere but Athens/Atlanta. It was very odd to see. I had bottles of WCMH before some folks in GA even knew it was out yet.

As for the Imp. Pumpkin Pie Porter, I've heard first week of September for our area as well.

 

We are usually one of the first to get these beers, and we have seen nothing. I have a buddy at my store who is going to text me when it is released. I have a strong feeling that it is in the store already, they just cannot release it. Spike is in town for a cask event and beer dinner this Saturday, I plan to ask him.

I was already told it is REALLY limited quantity. My store is getting like 1-2 cases max. For reference we got 30 cases of Mexican Cake. So you will need to watch for it like a hawk to get any

 

From what I have head its roughly 10K bottles, so limited but not OMFG white whalez bro rare.

 

I may end up buying tickets just to go to this. Will you have a full keg, and could I get, say, a few ounces extra after said dinner?

 

So basically not like last Friday's BA Speedway release in NC, you're saying? That was madness.

 

I see they are pouring it on Sept 5th at the brewery which is awesome as the last release pours were very late behind bottles in the market. If bottles land even next week in markets that's an improvement.

 

Got a few yesterday in the Ft. Lauderdale area...

 

I am hoping to go as well, but kind of waiting for the menu before I plunk down $50 and change to go.

 

Yep.

 

Anyone know who distributes Terrapin in the Tampa area?

 

It's just a sixtel, and we won't be serving it (or any of the dinner beers) to the public until the dinner is over that evening. I would think there will still be some left at the end, but the dinner is selling pretty quickly. Hope that helps!

 

Appreciate the heads up, my friend. I'm leaning towards going anyways. The beer menu is great.

 

Where in NC did BA speedway release? And where are you located in NC? I am in Atlanta so we will probably get it last, I have been hearing labor day. But I am going home to Charlotte next weekend. I just dont want to miss the release.
