Just a funny situation all around, made me laugh quite a bit, almost worth not getting more.

Oh and standing offer, your Pliny and my cigars, name the time and place! I haven't had Pliny in an age.

They posted on their FB page that they held 100 bottles back and put them on sale today @ noon for people who couldn't make it.
I'll be trying one tonight and let you know.

I got a couple Plinys put aside with your name on them.

from the label:

“giant cell phones. White pantsuits Reaganomics. The 80’s was all about excess. We tip our neon trillby hats to that mentality with this beer. Not satisfied with the amount of guava in out Guava Grove saison, we doubled the amount of fruit in Guava Grove to create a truly radical beer fit for any dude or dudette. Totally Tubular!”

I hope this isn't the case, but this smells a bit of "build the hype by releasing and incredibly small quantity" so that they run out and people feel like they really 'missed it'. Or "wow, I'm lucky I got the couple I did, next time I'll be there waiting two hours before the event". Only releasing 500 twelve ounce bottles last night, with a four bottle limit, means only 125 people could buy a four pack....which is less than a "normal" six pack you'd typically buy (basically saying that it's not much beer).
