What are the gems here?

I don't know if they are gems, but they do get stuff most other places don't get.

Right now i believe the top stores are (in order)

Calandro's Perkins
Cuban Liquor
Beverage Store (never been but i hear good things)
Alexander's/Matherne's (tie)

We are limited to what we get here in Louisiana. But when something new comes out, these stores usually always have it. I believe Calandro's may be the reason we are getting hoptimum this year. One of the distributors ordered too much Sierra Nevada Bigfoot, and wasn't going to order any Hoptimum until they got rid of the stock. Calandro's bought it up last week, so we should be seeing hoptimum soon.
