Iowa Rumors?

It'll be a miss. You'll definitely be able to take home a growler or two though.

 

It seems like the Stone special releases and collabs have moved pretty well besides Old Guardian. I wish we would have received the Dayman IPA and hopefully we get the Coconut IPA.

 

Coconut IPA is going to all markets

For what it's worth, I think this beer which you can get in Iowa is much better than Dayman was.

Johncy's in North Liberty got Stone's 17th anniversary in today

 

and Enjoy By is everywhere!!!

 

I didn't know that Enjoy By was out yet! Thanks! Is WootStout sold out everywhere? It seems like the R&R Coconut IPA was a miss...still several cases around the area. The only other Stone release I've seen do this is Old Guardian. I picked up a bottle of the 17th, seems like it could be a good beer. Also, if you have access to Schell's Star Of The North, PICK UP A BOTTLE.

 

I bought a couple woot stouts about 2 Weeks ago. Haven't seen it since. Ruinten and the Coco nut are still everywhere. I'll grab schells star of the North If I see it.

 

Star of the North was in at Benz in CR a couple weeks ago. Didn't make it in to pick it up and forgot about it. Wonder if they still have some.

Is Enjoy by in Cedar Rapids yet? I got the 17th anniversary at the Oakland Road HyVee there yesterday but they didn't have the Enjoy By yet.

 

Des Moines is swimming in Enjoy By right now. I hear the metro got 120 cases total and although that is a LOT, it will not last long I'm sure. 17th Anniversary is dropping in Des Moines today. Should be on shelves already. I've also seen RuinTen, Imperial Russian Stout, Espresso IRS, Old Guardian and R&R Coconut at multiple locations too. There is still Founder's Mango Magnifico around too.

Also, hear that next week DSM will get "extremely limited" quantities of Bell's Oracle DIPA.

 

Enjoy By and 17th Anniversary are hitting CB today.

 

Enjoy By was behind the counter everywhere I went. Make sure to ask.

 

It's not in the Eastern half of the state yet it seems. I just called HyVee and they said the local distributor hasn't gotten it yet.

 

Mango Magnifico was put on tap at Red's in N.L. last night. I had a sample. Nice mango on the tongue, and a hella burn on the throat. I'd pass.

 

^Bent River Jalapeno is in bottles now for much less if anyone likes a good pepper beer

 

Oh mama I had one of those last week. Like eating a f-ing jalapeno. They aren't lying.

 

The spice level can really vary. Those damn Jalapenos.

 

Had Enjoy by at El Bait last night- pretty good a very Stone like in the hops profile....a bit like eating hop candy.

 

Picked up Enjoy By at the HyVee on Oakland Road in Cedar Rapids for $6.99/bottle. Also saw that the Coralville store got theirs as well, although at $1 more per bottle @ $7.99/ea. I don't really get how 2 markets only about 25 miles apart have such a large price gap between the same company.

If Benz competes with Oakland Road's pricing again, they might have theirs set at $6.49 like they did the 17th Anniversary bottle. Oakland Rd has the Century Club so I figure I'll just continuing picking up my stuff from there as long they keep getting in the new stuff.

Can't wait to put this in a fridge and hopefully able to try tomorrow night!

 

I got 3 at the 42nd street hy-vee in Des Moines for $5.99. Prices do vary.

 

Oh I understand they vary, I Just think it's weird they range from (now) $5.99 to $7.99 depending on where you live in the state.
