Allocations for limited product aren't usually announced or promoted this far out. Accounts might have been notified and put orders in, but a month or so ahead would be a long lead time.

Any place that had/has Pliny the Elder is likely on or had access to the allocation list. Elder is also very limited release. So places that had access to that stand a decent chance of having other hard to get RR beers on tap.

The wrinkle is that apparently a lot more places in Philly got Pliny the Elder this year, and quite a lot of them fairly late in the game. With a lot of places having it on tap longer and getting more kegs than usual.

RR either over produced, or undersold it. Probably due to COVID issues. And opted to send a bunch of the overage to the Philly market.

That might mean a lot more Pliny the Younger out in the wild this year. Or it might mean that a bunch of places that got their other limited releases don't have access to Younger.
