Allocated Beers?

It's not uncommon for wines to be allocated to retailers (and restaurants) - that is, only so much of the wine is bottled and subsequently available, and then bottles are allocated to specific customers (wine shops, etc.) to sell.

Beer isn't far behind. New at the market this week are three allocated beers - buy 'em before they're gone:

Three Floyds Gumballhead Wheat - a Summer seasonal release from the venerable Indiana brewery, the Gumballhead is brewed with copious amounts of hops, giving it a citrus/piney flavor; a perfect thirst quencher.

Alesmith Speedway Stout - Big and bold, the Speedway shows notes of coffee and bitter chocolate. This is one of the most complex stouts brewed in the world.

Alesmith Wee Heavy Scotch Ale - Rich, strong, just another example of great brewing on the edge by Alesmith. Very malty, but deftly balanced, this is a beer to sip and savor.
