    I stopped at the Cheese Castle a week ago on the way up to see the National in Milwaukee. Looked like they had plenty. Picked up two four packs.

    Confirmed at the brewery, during the Sunday allotment release when their supply ran out, that there is no more wild sour ale. Go pick up what you can at your local bottle shops!

    I found 2 random 4 packs at 2 different stores today (Copps and Party Port). Bought them both. It's drying up around Madison. Hit the obscure liquor stores and cross your fingers.

    Not sure why I'm not too worried. I feel like NG will be dishing out a ton of sour's in the future anyway.

    Kenosha Woodmans told me they're sold out and won't get anymore. Has there been another Thumbprint this scarce before?

    Perfect storm of:
    1- Its a sour beer during a time where sours are a major trending style
    2- Distributed only in Wisconsin, making for a bit scarce for those outside of Wisconsin
    3- Available at the same time as Great Taste, aka 6000 FIBs buying pallets to take home
    4- It was aged for at least a year as part of the process so its not like Dan can just pump out more to meet demand right away

    When its gone, its gone. Better get what you can now.

    As of Sunday, during the blackberry sour release, it was sold out before the line was halfway through

    Last I checked, 10 cases isn't a pallet.

    Had to bring this thread alive. There's plenty in Appleton. Was visiting family and stopped at Woodmans and another liquor store today.

    I tried one of these last night and I've got to say this has to be the best value sour available today. I wish I could get more. Anyone see any around Kenosha lately?

    I always grab at least one extra four pack of unplugged for trade. I do believe I have two four packs hear and I am open for trade business in Indiana.

    Anyone have any idea what will be the next Thumbprint?

    Then I would assume apple ale makes its return for the holiday season for the 3rd year in a row.

    I was in Kenosha yesterday. There was none to be found at Woodman's or Tenuta's. I did manage to try it on tap at Captain Mikes

    I need to talk to the beer manager at my Woodmans in Sun Prairie, see if he can get me a case from up there.

    I'm holding onto faint hope that it will be Cranbic...

    I need to find some of this asap. I passed it so many times because of how plentiful thumbprints usually are. Never again.
