    I went looking for Achel 8 blonde the other day in my hometown Miami, Fl but could not find any after trying several places. Are any of you having difficulty finding this or is it still abundant in your neck of the woods like it used to be in mine?

    I actually bought one just the other day, and as far as I know I could easily find it in a few other stores around. Perhaps it's just a little distribution hiccup in your area. Maybe try again in a few weeks or so and if you still have no sign of them ask the stores about it, they might know something.

    I bought out the stock in at a store in Nashville that I frequent, and have yet to see it again in over 2 months after requesting it more than once. Seems like the store hasn't been able to get it, as they normally can fulfill my requests when i'm in town, and tell me if they have trouble otherwise. For 2.99, it's my daily trappist...

    Yep. Not sure how, but I don't ask questions...

    Which is why I bought out their entire stock... Apparently people in Tennessee aren't all too familiar with Trappist beer...
     
    Zimbo and Rohkey like this.

    Looked for it last week at a beer store and found none on the shelves. And yeah, that price is ridiculous!

    Looks like a nice store there. I can only find Achel 8 Bruin around here, and in bomber form.

    Incredible price lucky for you! I've seen it for up to $6.99 in MIA.

    Trying to obtain the hype of Westvleteren maybe?
