    Any word on what the new one will be? They've had Sparkling Ale for what seems like forever and they just ran out. Guy at the store told me his guess was Wild One but that they never found out until it was put on the shelf. Anyone with the inside scoop?

    Oh, there's people on here that know but they probably won't share it with you or anyone. They're like the Stone Cutters of Bells 750 releases.

    Wild One was on draft earlier this week. However, I don't know if that means anything at all.

    When were you in there? I might have to stop in and take a peek tonight.

    I called on Monday. I'm in Ann Arbor so I'm trying to coordinate my next KZoo trip around the next release.

    How do their 750 releases work? I don't think I've seen them in stores. I was fortunate enough to be there when they released Black Note at the brewery in 2012, but didn't find it anywhere else.

    The bottles are brewery-only releases, and they just show up in the store without any announcement. Word then spreads quickly via this site.

    The Black Note was initially in 750 format, then was released in 12-oz bottles in 4-packs right after the 750s were sold out.

    i'm not really surprised sparkling ale lasted as long as it did. it was decent, but nothing special and i wouldn't say it was worth the price tag (certainly not better than tripel karmeliet).

    I loved the Sparkling when it was in 12ers. What's one of the 750s go for? I'd love to try that again.

    I was there Tuesday, nothing new and they said they don't know till it shows up at the store. My guess is BA cherry stout is next. They had it on draft when black note was out so its gotta be getting bottled sometime right??

    I work 5 minutes from Bell's. Been twice a day since Sparkling sold out. Trust me, the next one (whatever it may be) is not on the shelf yet. If it goes on over the weekend, though, I'm screwed.

    BA Cherry has been confirmed by Laura Bell that it didn't hold up well in the bottle so they are not selling it. Kegs only at special events and at the pub.

    if it was BA cherry (and coming soon), someone probably would have spotted a label approval. unless they've done it before of course...
