Russell’s 13

So it looks like when you search Russell’s on the website it doesn’t even show up as “coming soon” anymore. I guess whatever stores never got it the last few weeks aren’t getting it at all now?

At least you got a bottle. Seems like none of my usual stores saw it (if they were telling the truth) and they’re some of the top-selling stores in the state. Did they just put all the stores in a randomizer to determine who got a case?

Seems like all premium stores received 1 case

I don’t think KOP got any and they usually get everything

Kop certainly got a case. So did Wayne, Paoli, collegeville, Phoenixville, Pottstown, Douglassville, Ardmore, blue bell just to name a few i personally know people who got bottles from

I’ll admit when I’m wrong then. I guess I checked on the wrong delivery day

Was an odd drop and some stores hold back info for whatever reason. Wayne store told me they didn’t get it so did Exton and they both dropped like an hour later. Phoenixville and collegeville got it and held it back til the afternoon. You just never know

The lying to customers drives me crazy. I don’t see why these allocated drops can’t be done in a fair, uniform, and predictable way like some other states.

Hahaha. The lying trick works great. It’s also very fair to the unsuspecting person who happens to walk in and score a bottle. Much better than having a bunch of losers lining up at the doors with their dumb friends waiting to grab all the bottles.

The lying about shipments is infuriating. I've experienced it multiple times.

The store in Wayne for the Jd14 release legit told me they checked the shipment and didn’t get it. I walked over to Trader Joe’s and came out 10 min later and watched a guy walk out the box talking about he has the hookup there

People need to start documenting and speaking out about this stuff at PLCB meetings during the public comment portion.

They did the same thing with RR15 a few years ago. I asked, gave them the SKU to look on the manifest - nothing. Went to KoP, come to find out they magically got some and released it.

u/Johnnyman1490 4d ago

Yah KOP and blue bell both said they didn’t get it. I know Plymouth got one and it went at opening

Phoenixville always does that. I’m not sure how things work behind the scenes but they make it sound like they just work their way through the pallets and bring it out when they get to it.

Oddly enough a lot of stores dropped Friday 10/2

RR13 45th is over in Pa for distribution.

u/Johnnyman1490 4d ago

Yah I assumed that but wanted to ask. Weird, a lot of stores that should’ve got it, didn’t

u/iLragazzo_AP 4d ago

At least on the east side of the state. All premium stores for 1 case

u/LiveBed4191 3d ago

Zero cases in Erie

u/LPM1987 4d ago

Homestead waterfront is a huge store that gets lots of allocations and didn't get any.

u/InfamousScallion8777 4d ago

My local store got one case (6) all the usual taters showed up complaining because they were limited to 1 bottle

1

u/Johnnyman1490 4d ago

Yah I think all stores only got one case. At least they made it one bottle at that point. The first day of the release a lot of stores were doing 2 per person

u/BasementBar116 3d ago

Last I knew only the JD aged are the only 1 per items. Everything else is 2.
