Just released today in CA: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/147/92448 Very limited in CA, but I do know that Stone still sends even limited beers out to other markets. Anybody hear of kegs or bottles making their way here and who may be getting them, if so?
We had lots of the Belgo Anise in '11 I don't see why we would have any less than that year. Looking to pick this up with some of the Enjoy By later this week if we're lucky.
I have much higher expectations for this than the Belgo Anise. I have a feeling that everybody does, as they have been setting bottle limits around CA for this. That definitely wasn't the case for Belgo Anise, where you could buy cases of it if you were so inclined. That didn't sell well at all and was around forever. In fact, I am sure that there are still places in CA that probably have that still sitting on their shelves. This is coming out as the typical $4.99-$5.99 bomber in CA, just like regular IRS. Is that what regular IRS and Belgo sell/sold for out here?
I guess I'm being optimistic here. I figured if the anise IRS was around for over a year this should last at least a few weeks...
Nah, it's usually $7.-99-$8.99 in the Twin Cities. And Haskell's St. Paul may still have some of the Belgo Anise.
I think they do, at least as of the last month. Also, I've seen it at Surdyk's in the last 2-3 months. I'm sure it's still floating out there. Personally I enjoyed the anise flavor in the '11 batch, though I could have gone for something a bit sharper tasting.
