I have been trying to find some Theakston's Old Peculiar for the Convention for a few weeks. The word is Southern Indiana is that "we can't get it anymore". No more info or details than that????????????

I contacted Theakston's brewery this morning to find out where I can find this heavenly nectar.

Sadly, they are not exporting from the UK. They are focusing on their domestic market and plan to export again in the next few years.

:cry:

Don't we have an attendee/importer coming from that side of the pond? :wink:

O.k. I've purchased a (much) larger case.
How much do you want? :lol:

I'd love a six pack if you can bring them.

I doubt they last until friday June 19th !

Surely, there's a bituminous plant nearby that could provide a reasonable facsimile :mrgreen: ?

How long ago did they stop exporting? That is to ask, if one were to stumble across some on a shelf in the U.S., how old would it be?

I don't know when their cutoff date was. I would assume December 31 2008.

If you can find it, by all means snag it!
