Need help finding a beer...yes I am serious - PLEASE HELP
 

OK. I am trying to find a beer and can't find it anywhere. It's a collaboration brew by Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head called Life & Limb. I've called everywhere and no one has it.

If anyone knows where to find it or has it in their hands, all I want is two bottles. I'll gladly pay double what stores charge for it.

I've been on a wild goose chase trying to track this stuff down but it is eluding me. I'm a little bit of a nut when I can't find something so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I pass Little Brothers in Flemington on my way home. They have an excellent variety. If it's there I'll grab it for you.

Don't know your exact answer, but I hope this hopes.

I called a few places locally (Super Saver in Pennington, and Joe Canals in Lawrenceville). Super Saver doesn't have it, waiting for a call back from Canals.

Looks like a good brew - if you find it, make sure you let us know where. I'm a big Dogfish fan, and would love to try it.

That would be awesome and much appreciated.

I did a search but it's now showing any names.

I tried callin Canals in Lawrenceville but one guy said they may have had it (put me on hold), then someone else picked up the phone and he said they don't have him. Hmmmm.

Maybe someone is stashing some somewhere.

When Canals calls me back I'll let you know what they tell me. They will also order things sometimes, but I think you have to get at least a case.

Any idea what the going rate per bottle is?

Also - West Trenton Liquors doesn't have it.

- Justin

Thanks! I won't mind buying a case if available. Going rate for a bottle is $8-$10 from what I've seen online. Only problem is the online stores are out of stock.

I'm off to canals @ 8

i been looking for a beer too....used to buy it in cali all the time. its called Flying Dog Tire Bite

I just got the call back from Canal's. The guy said that he knew what I was asking about, but he doesn't know if they haven't received their allocation yet, or if they have already sold out.

He told me to call tomorrow after 10:00am and ask for the beer manager, Chris Carter.

Jay, I've seen Flying Dog at several local places, but never seen the Tire Bite. I would ask at (Joe) Canal's, or Super Saver up on the Pennington Circle.

- Justin

So the saga continues. I may have also found a location but no idea. I may just buy a case if they have it since this is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Let me know what you hear tomorrow from the manager. Thanks!

I will - and if you end up buying a case, I'd buy a few bottles from you :)

- Justin

tire bite is awesome. only beer i actually like the taste of. its super golden, super light and super hoppy....mmmmmm :lol:



if any of those places you have will special order let me know

Ill check hops and grapes in g-boro for you tomorrow on my way home from school they have a bunch of beers like that.

Try Dogfish Head Midas Touch - sounds pretty similar....

- Justin

Brian-

I checked with Little Brothers. Spoke to the owner, actually. He said that they had carried it but it's "done", in that they are sold out and are not getting any more. It was apparently a fall brew only. LB's has just about every other Sierra and Dogfish brew...

Sorry.

Canals in hamilton on rt130 had it but is out. The guy is not sure if they are getting more but said to try back in the next day or so.

Ok home now. Also struck out at shop rite liquors near my house. Sorry. I've never gone to 2 beer stores before w/o buying anything. :lol:

Yea I know they are done brewing it and I doubt they will brew anymore at the moment. Thanks for talking to them to see if they would have it. Much appreciated.

Well I def give you an A for effort. Thanks for taking a look. I may get lucky tomorrow and this guy in NY will have it. If I can buy enough, I will spread the joy.

Brian, buy all the have and lets come over for a taste test?

I have off tomorrow...Ill keep an eye out.

I'll check on my next trip to Bottle King, they have a decent selection of stuff.

Jay, I've had the flying dog in heat wheat, it was pretty good :lol:

I work at a beer distributor part time.Ill let you know as we carry a few varieties of dogfish head and sierra nevada.Ive never heard of that particular one but then again I dont really pay much attention to the "oddball" type beers

I was just there today, im 99% sure it was there, If I had seen this thread I would have looked but for some reason I think I saw it back in the warm beer area.

Well I managed to find a few bottles today. Traveled to NY to get it lol. No one in NJ has this so I was convinced I had to look out of state. I'll report back on how it tastes.
