    From a guy who got none, no guess is needed. I'd like just one bottle. Last year I got one, the year before a sixer. So goes craft right now.

    I almost feel guilty getting two six packs. Almost. But some of those are for a trade and I did leave a couple bottles behind at a store in Lake Orion. As much as I love this beer I figured it would be good karma to leave some for somebody else.

    Holiday Market in Canton had literally just put a 6 pack on the shelf this afternoon when I walked in. $4/bottle and were still there when I left at 6pm tonight.

    Anytime, man. Hope you enjoy it. Bells just needs to make more of this brew, period.

    And you know what? When Oktoberfest returns to bottles, they need to make more of that too.

    Scrounged 6 bottles between 2 stores, so I'm good with that. And yes, they need to make more of this. The stuff's fantastic, and if they made it in the volume of Hopslam, that would be awesome.

    In kzoo for the day, hit up several stores and called a few, no luck. Anyone know of a store in portage or kzoo that might have even just one sweet bottle?

    Sad, but I was told from my local bottle shop that Bell's production was too low and we're not getting any here in WI.

    For you Wisconites, if you want to take a cruise, we have plenty of bottles at the Fitz in Eagle River, and we will tapping a keg this Thursday...along with a keg of Batch 10,000 on Friday at noon and Black Note at 8...just a thought.

    Come on now, couldn't you have just lied :grinning: to us and said you got the call that the greatest guy, you know live it up a little, at your local bottle shop and he has done an outstanding, once again living it up a little, job setting aside 2 or 3 bottles, downplaying the whole case thing. ha ha ha that'd make me feel "hey good for us, one victory." Instead, now I have nothing but jealousy - just kidding! Enjoy!!!

    Who's so generous that they're selling you their allocation? I'm not sure any store got more than one case, a couple may have got two.
