    Is Parabola on shelves around Los Angeles yet?

    I have 2 bottles up for trade. Mostly looking for Black note stout or KBS.

    Plaza Market in El Monte had some a few days ago, but they sold out.

    Ramirez has some cases on the shelf in their "Wait for the grand opening celebration" section. So it has clearly hit, but from what I hear, they're telling stores to hold back till April 1st. so who knows.

    Ramirez has it on their website... for $34.99. That's an insane mark up.

    Wow! If it was last year maybe but for a current bottle... That's wrong. I'm surprised people support places like that.

    They keep pushing back the release here in San Jose week by week. So annoying.

    I wouldn't trust the online price since A.) it's not even in stock or able to purchase and B.) From having bought it from them every year, I know it'll run around the $16-18 range. Even the ABV is off. so it's clearly not up to date.

    They're holding back the release of it till their official grand opening, which I hear is on the 6th. So I would just assume the price online is just a place holder.

    Was told there may be a second drop in the western burbs either next week or the week after. Not sure if this is true, but it still gives reason for hope.

    Thanks for the update! Wiped out the shelfs up in Chico today since I'm working in the area. Figured Sac would have them as well. Not going to last long

    I have a couple of BCBS, message me, and if you're close enough we can work out and IP trade.

    I finally scored my 2 bottles of Parabola today (gotta leave enough for fellow BAs). I appreciate those local to me that helped point me and others in the right direction. It reminds me of what's good about BA. Also, on a related note, the Citrus Heights BevMo got Parabola today, too..

    Just out of curiosity, what is the going rate for a fair trade between parabola and kbs? Does 1:4 sound about right? Seems like parabola is much harder to find than kbs as well.

    Price is probably a factor as well.

    For perspective, the average price of Parabola around here is $15.99. Bell's sold Black Note for about $5.50 per bottle last week, and Founders sold their KBS for about $4.35 per bottle last Saturday.
