Perennial Sump now available at premier ( and selling fast). Hopslam is down to a couple single bottles. Nugget Nectar cans are gone but still some 6 packs of bottles left.

I believe I might've grabbed the last sump around 5 today. They still had anchorage a deal with the devil, but I'm not sure it lasted much longer.

On a less rare beer note, they had cases of jacks abbey framing hammer in.

In case anyone's thinking of making a run this weekend for BA Bigfoot, Premier has a lot of it. It was on the shelf with the rest of the sierra nevada with no limit (18.99), so i'm assuming they have cases.

Lot of beer geek brunch weasel too.

I was really surprised too that they still had AB Noir, but one bottle limit probably slowed it down. i saw three more bottles move while I was browsing other stuff though.

biggest surprise was that they still had a deal with the devil although I don't know if that was the last bottle on the counter or if they had more. probably that 33.99 price tag is slowing it down in WNY.

I'd guess that it is entirely due to the price tag, which is close to $50 a bottle for us Canadians after the F/X.

My thoughts X-Acto, Founders is very good but are they saying I should plan my work week around acquiring one shitey four pack of it - kind of pathetic, I feel. OK see ya all there at 7:30 AM wednesday, bioches!

i've confirmed that it is indeed coming in (which is strange since i last bought it in Grand Rapids in June. so not sure why it's coming now).
it won't be there for noon. so it makes planning a trip really, really iffy. i mean, you can just go to Blue Monk or Coles for lunch, follow twitter and see when it's released...

Is Consumers getting any? You might have better luck there than Premier...
