Philly area Homebrewers

All I've heard is "early April" without any specific dates. I will share once I hear.

I'm thinking that if it is released for nationwide distro tomorrow, the earliest we would see if would be next week. But bottle shops that I spoke to haven't got a clue as to if they are even getting any in, and the people I talk to are very reliable resources. I'm worried that we won't be seeing much of it

 

[ivegot2legs]

Talked to three different bottle shops, nobody has a good bead on when KBS will drop in the city. I'm tempted to put a call into Stockertown Beverage, but I don't want to be that guy. Anybody hear any scuttlebutt on when it will drop?

I haven't been able to get any good information. It's a mystery to everyone. Why don't you want to call the beverage joint?

 

[ivegot2legs]

I'm betting Capone's email won't have it. Not until next week.

If the Phils score 3 runs today, I'll call :fro:

 

[wobrien]

Call anyway

And when you score a case of it, I'm first in line to help you distribute

If I get a case of it, I need to start living on the lam, as my wife will accuse me of robbing from our account. She will hunt me down and shoot me like a duck.

So you're saying that if you get a case, I should talk Mrs BeerMeDuffWoman? Got it.

Yes, she would probably get the case in the divorce proceedings lol

So yea, it looks like I'll be giving them a call when I go on break LOL
Thanks Jimmy.

 

[wobrien]

Haha, I didn't think they'd score 6 runs this WEEK...

Edit: now down 7-6. LoL. Gonna be a LONG season...

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Called and left a message, chances of me getting a call back are about the same as the Phils going to the big show in October

hey, right now they're undefeated!

 

[mcbaumannerb]

They're an offensive juggernaut! (for a day at least )

 

[ivegot2legs]

A distributor told me today they only got one case. So it may be out for delivery today in the area. Still no one willing to hold it or call you back though.

I was told today by two different bottle shops that they won't get it until next week and they weren't sure how much they were getting. That was Food n' Friends and the Foodery on Sansom. Monde was flat out told they weren't getting any.
I was also told by a bottle shop that they don't expect to get any Parabola in. There was apparently a shortage and a bunch of east coast cities won't see it. I dunno if that is true or not

 

[ivegot2legs]

I'm beginning to think some of these owners are annoyed with people asking. So they say they don't know anything.

Or they say it's next week so they run away half the people until then, and then it's sold out.

Or they say they won't hold bottles, when I know they will.

The responses I got were from counter services and all in person...they all seemed genuine enough to me. No body language leading me to think they were lying. They might just not know the whole truth, too.

 

[ivegot2legs]

Seems like most wholesale distributors got it today. How long until it's distributed to a store, that's the variable.

Agreed. I don't mind making that walk daily to both bottle shops from my office, so long as the eventual pay off does occur. If I strike out on both KBS and Parabola, I'll be a little bit peeved. On the brighter side, my wallet gains a little bit of weight lol

 

[FreddyMar3]

I would love to find a bottle of Parabola. I have a bottle from 2012 that I have been sitting on, waiting for the "right" moment to drink it. Getting a replacement bottle would probably be that moment!

 

[mcbaumannerb]

I just got word that my bottle shop will be getting one case in this week. Now I just have to hope that I'm one of the lucky 24 (out of 70) when he does the lottery on Thursday night!

*edit* - of course a part of me is also worried this is BS and we'll get the April Fools announcement in a while

Meanwhile Sucaba is going into week three, hanging out on the shelves just waiting lol

Capones has KBS. Just got the email


Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

 

[wobrien]

Capones got it today

 

[The542]

Capones got it today

And sold out, Matt said they got one case and it was gone.

I replied to the email within ten minutes but haven't heard back. I'm sure it's because he hasn't decided whether to give me a 4pk or 6pk

I got in. He said they only got one case, one per customer.

 

[wobrien]

You think he got 24 emails within 10min? This is why you should never do yard work

 

[ivegot2legs]

It seems like a lot. He took an hour to reply to me, maybe he just had to do other work.

 

[InityBrew]

Not worth the $10 per bottle he charges in my opinion.

I am going to roll the dice with my local whole foods in hopes that I could get a bottle.
