For whatever kind of alcohol you are into, there are online forums and groups that will fit your interests (you can find them on Reddit as well). Online forums like Beer Advocate are a pretty popular resource for keeping up on the latest beer/whiskey chatter, but I prefer Facebook groups. That, my friends, is what we call a #win. So, for instance, just the other day I did a search for the hell of it (as I often do) and noticed that someone what drinking a Firestone Walker Parabola at one of my local beer joints. The application has a handy sort function that lets you view what people are drinking nearby, which shows not only the beers people are currently consuming, but what bars they are drinking at. Whether you like checking into or keeping track of the beers you consume or not, Untappd is one of the best ways to get up to the minute info on what beers people are drinking in your local area. So if you’re not checking your lists often, you’re going to miss out. Keep in mind that the super hard-to-get releases like Founders KBS, for instance, or the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, go really, really quick. Any good beer bar or bottle shop these days posts about their new deliveries to their social media accounts, so making sure you’re keeping up with what they’re putting out is a sure way to know when a limited edition beer or whiskey hits the shelves. I have two Twitter and Facebook lists that I check religiously (like multiple times a day): local beer bars and local bottle shops. So, without further ado, here are five ways to make sure that you’re the first to know about all of the super limited release beers and whiskeys hitting your market before everyone else does. The reality is, though, that it’s less about secrets and tricks and more about knowing how and where to harness real-time information. While I hate to give away all of my secrets, I feel like you and I are close enough now that I can divulge some of the tricks of the trade. A lot of people ask me how I always know about the limited edition bottle releases or super hard-to-find beers being tapped.
