Some places got it yesterday. Others are reporting they will receive it tomorrow.

There's always a big rush to get that first shipment, but people forget that they make more than one shipment. If you don't get any this week, there will be a much less sought after second shipment in a few weeks.

Me, I still have a case of Zombie Dust to drink. So I don't think I'll get a six pack. My local beer place got a couple of kegs of it and they do growlers, so maybe I'll get a 32 oz growler of it. That would beat the draft prices Churchkey charges. Ah, anything to avoid giving Churchkey my business.

According to the distributor I deal with in Pa, who supplies the eastern side if the state including Philadelphia, there will not be another shipment

That's nice, but Sucaba is the real knockout that will be arriving any time now.

fwiw, this and big wood (also hosted by brouwers, all barrel-aged beer tap takeover) pretty much are the best events of the year for seattle.

i'll be in line at brouwers at 10am for hard liver.

It's good enough to drink the three I have left, but agree, won't be buying it again. Definitely prefer Dirt Wolf.

I bought a single for the James Ford approved price of $2.99, did not enjoy.

I will say the 2.14.14 Enjoy By IPA is the best of that bunch that I've had.

Great! Having the 2.14.14 with dinner tonight! 11 ozs of 9.4 abv beer on a Friday night, getting a little wild.
