    I've seen 120 on tap here, but haven't seen bottles. Granted, haven't really been looking for it either. Will keep an eye out now, though.

    Yeah it just arrived last week at the total wine in spokane Washington, they said they have a small amount and it's 1 bottle per customer. Guessing it's $12-20 a bottle, I might just pick one up for the sake of it, although I have heard it's not the best beer.

    Bottles don't come to CA because they don't say the alcohol % on the label, so they can't sell them here. Shows up on draft once in a while though

    I'm in Cali and actually got a bottle last year. I just randomly walked into a store (in SD) and after I was willing to "overspend" on a bottle of Parabola, the guy brought it out. I probably overpaid -- but I suppose some folks in Cali could try asking their local bottleshop in a similar manner.

    I honestly can't tell you. I never look.

    I'm trying to get some point of reference to the prices where you live because DFH 120 minute is about $10-11 by me. At that price, I think it is worth it once in a blue moon, but not at $18.

    I have one from '12. Any thoughts on how this might turn out?

    Jeez that's steep. You'd be better off driving into CT or NY to get it at a 'moderately' priced $10.99 per bottle. Hell, even on Long Island I can find it for $11.

    Ca doesn't get bottles of it.

    Closes is nevada.

    i believe the reasoning had to do with the abv not being clear.

    I have ready access to fresh 120, if anybody wants some here. Happy to trade $4$ for IPAs, DIPAs, and/or stouts. Just say the word! Thanks, and cheers!

    I see it for sell here in the philly burbs and the city but I refuse to pay over $13 per bottle. I'm trying to wait until whole foods or wegmans gets some in stock.

    I just bought a 4-pack this morning for $52, which works out to $13/bottle. I also confirmed today that (a) for the most recent release, DFH distributed only 40 cases in the entire State of Delaware, with only two retailers (Total Wine in Wilmington and Atlantic Liquors in Rehoboth) getting 2 cases (everyone else got just one), most of which is now long gone, and (b) DFH will be releasing another batch of similarly small distribution within the next 2-3 weeks. I have a bunch of retailers who've agreed to hold 4-packs for me, so I should be able to get plenty if anyone is interested. I currently have five 4-packs on hand. Let me know if anybody needs some!

    Not worth it. Much better beers out there.

    120 bottles don't make it to Cali due to ABV needing to be printed on the labels. since the ABV changes batch to batch, DFH doesn't think its cost effective.
