I was just at PG last week, but I didn't see any. I might have missed it.

Just got back from PG...they had plenty of Terrible on the shelf. In fact, I have never seen the shelves so full...the inventory is huge right now.

That's great news Jan.

Anything else good?
How was their stock of:
Victory, Dogfish Head, Stone, Great Divide?

I heard Stone and Great Divide are shipping east as much anymore.

Steven...their stock was better than I've ever seen in the past 3 or 4 years I've been going...Every single shelf was full front to back. I picked up 2 cases of Stone Imperial Stout and a case of Great Lakes Blackout, plus a few of this and that...lots of Stone, Victory, Rogue, DFH....spent twice as much $$ as I planned on. Heard there is a new place to check out as well, within 10 minutes of PG that carries some other stuff but we were pressed for time and already broke after PG.

I could be wrong but I think they had less Great Divide than usual....perhaps same with the Stone but they had atleast 5 cases of the Imperial Stout sitting on the floor thats all I paid attention to.

I've heard of the new store. It's the Village Beer Merchant, at 547 Elmwood Ave. Haven't been there myself, they only opened in January, but they claim to have the best beer selection in Buffalo & they have 10 taps for growlers as well.
Have to check out their selection next time I'm in Buffalo.
