Yep, they're in Buffalo as well. Unsure about Rochester.

They were on tap in tiny Vermont so it makes sense that they're making a push to the east.

Sculpin fresh is delicious but it definitely loses some of its appeal the longer away from bottling date (although I am one of those people who sometimes enjoy an aged DIPA so it can be good IMHO). The Porter is pretty tasty as well.

Where in Buffalo? Any place I asked they had no plans on carrying Ballast Point.

It *just* arrived. Pizza Plant had the first keg of Sculpin on earlier this week. Coles has an event tonight with Sculpin & Victory at Sea. I know Consumers has received bottles but I don't think they've left the warehouse yet - they should be getting out to the stores in the next few days. I'd imagine Premier and VBM will have them asap as well.

Good to hear. I have to get down there in the next couple weeks so hopefully they'll be out around the same time.

FWIW Pizza Plant had Bourbon County Stout on tap last time I was in town. Really love that new location (though making a left turn back onto transit is an exercise in patience).

Would expect that Premier will stock it when it's available....was there last weekend and didn't see any, though. Love the Sculpin!

Both Village Beer locations have it, according to their twitter. Wish I could make it down. I've only had Sculpin a few days away from the BB date, and it was still quite good. Victory At Sea is amazing, one of the best smelling beers I've had.

premier tweeted earlier today about having BP scuplin on tap, so i'd expect bottles are either there or soon behind.

Yep, Premier do (or at least did) have Sculpin in bottles. They said yesterday it was "going fast". No doubt.
