Plain-language guides to PA bourbon hunting — how drops, lotteries, delivery days, ghost drops, and rebates work on the FWGS / PLCB system.
- How we figure out delivery days
How Bottle Hunt PA infers the day of the week each FWGS store gets deliveries — and how confident we are.
- Ghost drops, explained
When a SKU appears in the FWGS catalog without a matching Whiskey Release entry, that's a ghost drop. We watch both.
- How the PA Limited-Release Lottery works
The PLCB Limited-Release Lottery — entry windows, how winners are picked, and how to enter from FWGS.
- How the Hunt List works
Tag bottles as Want, Have, or Had. Use it to track what you're hunting, what's in your bar, and what you've tried.
- SMS vs email — when each makes sense
Email is free and gets every alert. SMS is part of Bottle Hunt Pro and lands first. Here's how to think about which you actually need.
- What's a drop?
How FWGS Whiskey Releases work — what a "drop" is, when they happen, and how Bottle Hunt detects them.
