Sad 'cuz I probably won't get a chance to try it. And it's brewed in So. Cal and I'm in No Cal, so it's not even an East Coast-West Coast thing. (I hear from reputable folk that Three Floyds Dreadnought Double is otherworldly, but try getting it in California.) A liquor store owner in Berkeley tells me - and this guy knows his beer! - that something like 75 cases were shipped to No.Cal.
75 measly cases? Is there some sort of Beer Cold War going on 'tween So and No Cal?I got an email from my bro in So Cal as soon as Stone 10 came out, praise-singing it. So I go to BevMo and they say they got it in and it sold out in a day, mostly to UC Berkeley students. I start asking around. No one can get it. I have the BevMo manager take my number and he agrees to search for more. He calls me two days later and says he can't get any. WTF?
