Well I guess I won't be getting any fresh stock to go side by side with my older bottles

I was given the impression that because it was so late the store received it if they asked for it. Just because it was part of the Winter Release didn't mean they would necessarily have to take it.

Were 4 stores in Hamilton area now down to 3.

I got two of the three at Innes last night. I almost texted you to find out if you wanted me to pick up the last one.

Seems to be a lot in the Hamilton area, I could buy 1 or 2 , cases if I wanted.

Friday, in response to another thread I will be attempting a Carbonnade Flamande. If it works out it will be 1 or 2 cases.

I saw a bunch of cases ( 6+) on the floor at Queens Quay last night. If you want some they should have enough supply for a few days at least :-?

So did they ship late, or did they sit in a warehouse forever? It would be a shame if they'd lost all their hop.
