Any updates? I've asked around a few places with no luck.

Really wanted to snag some for grilling tomorrow

I am gonna guess that the entire recent batch is close to sold out by now. Not even the source had bottles on Friday.

I think Friday or Monday. It's sitting in Eagles warehouse for like two weeks now.

I'm amazed New Orleans hasn't received their allotment yet. It's been two weeks since the release?

If that were true Elios would have it. They send someone to the warehouse to get theirs earlier than anyone else.

They may let them have it sometime later this week. They are trying to boost their sales of their other AB products for the 4th. Same shite they pulled during Mardi Gras.

pretty sure I read on here that Nola will get a new batch different from what everyone else got last week.

Perm I find it very hard to believe that the distributor would allow a profitable beer to sit around for two weeks in a warehouse

I do too. The average ghost drinker isn't grabbing a case of bud for the 4th.

That's how I read it too. Each market gets a different batch.

Although smaller markets like Shreveport and Alex could possibly split a batch

I follow Elio's pretty closely on their social media as they are pretty good about updating when they get specialty brew in.

I asked manager of Lakeview Grocery and Robert's on Friday if they had any.. Was told not only no, but they also hadn't even received distributor notification that it was en route (which they said they usually get at least a week in advance).

I'm guessing the lack of Nola distribution also means a no go for Northshore? Have to head that way for work this afternoon

Maybe they just don't give a shite. If they're going to make money on it anyway, why make any extra effort tweaking their normal distribution system to put it first in line as soon as they get it? I have no information on it either way, I'm just saying that the way these distributorships seem to run, I wouldn't put it past them to have it be something exactly like he's suggested.

Ah if that is the case then, just knew that normally New Orleeans is one of the first areas to get fresh Ghost.

Some of you guys seem to know Andrew so well, can't you text him and ask if they sent the shipment to SE?

Other areas got pissed when New Orleans got fresh ghost last batch and they changed up the distribution to appease the bitchers

This is what Dorignacs beer guy told me
