- Impossible and improbable. NO WAY Anchor would produce just 600 cases of
- this stuff. If so, then their distribution is *extremely* limited. I know of
- at least four liquor stores within 6 miles of my house, each has at least
- 30 cases of Anchor OSA 1992 in stock. Maybe you meant 6,000 cases????
- Even 6000 cases seems to be on the low side.
-
- People have bought this beer in bottles in California, the east coast, Texas,
- and the midwest. Don't you think 600 cases is way low?
