PNC will be on tap for Zwanze day at Monk's in Philly. Don't think any bottles will be around though.
It was a beer made by a group of bar owners (aka Publicans) at Firestone Walker. The cases were only sent to those bars. I don't totally remember what the bars were unfortunately but I believe there was a thread in the Pacific forum about it. Those are the only places that will get bottles of it. edit: Actually, I looked it up for you: http://beeradvocate.com/community/t...velvet-merkin-in-bottles.107038/#post-1584654
I thought the release got delayed. Anyways, the CA people will most likely see it the first week of October. I release the source are just two different people on here, but that is all we got. I feel like FW is pretty good about their release dates (especially with Parabola), unlike Stone (at least here in MD). We always gotta wait at least a week or two for bottles. But the places that are likely to have it are places that had Parabola and Sucaba (obviously).
The MD Parabola distribution was pushed back for months last year, but this year the FW releases have seemed more consistent. I always give it a few weeks after the west coast starts getting theirs before we see it here.
Bump bump....looks like it has hit Chicago / Colorado, hoping it soon arrives in DC and then probably a little later for MD
I believe beer geek nation is the person who said they happened to be out in cali for work. I don't think it has reached the east coast yet.
