    That would be great. I'll finding something interesting in exchange for you in Eugene or PDX if you're able to latch onto a bottle (or I can just send money, if that's what you'd prefer).

    According to their Digital Pour menu, it's still more than half full, so you should be ok. I think most Salemites don't realize what they're missing! Still plenty of Headshake and Ginormous too. If I was a betting man, I'd say the Headshake will blow first.

    Hope you're right. I'm just worried, seeing as how the emphasis is on growler sales here. Will definitely call before heading over.

    Beermongers just tapped their keg of it. I'm predicting it will go fast.

    Also try Block 15's Wildfire Adambier there if you haven't already. Crazy complex.

    No growler fills on the Sticky Hands.

    @johnmichaelsen it's gone. Must've had a run on it last night.

    Found out 16 tons had bottles and draft available, so I went there. Tasty beer...

    Thanks! We're usually pretty well supplied with Block 15 stuff down here, so I was fairly certain we'd see some kegs down this way. Bottles were a different matter. I was told 16 tons just got a single case, and Bier Stein indicated they might not get more than that as well (usually they're well provided for by B 15).

    This is one of the most popular, limited release beers I can recall coming from B 15 in some time.

    Any hope for bottles left in Portland proper?

    I'm looking for a bottle or two of this, is anyone interested in a trade? I can offer JBM Speedway, Beachwood Citraholic, Clown Shoes Billionaire or something else in Socal distribution.

    I'll check around town here in Eugene for you (as I'd definitely be interested in getting a bottle of JBM speedway), but I'm not optimistic. I don't think any place in town got more than a case or two, and the beer was a very hot item as soon as it hit down (roughly a week ago). Places like 16 tons and Bier Stein aren't open just yet, but I'll call around as soon as they are.

    I'd really appreciate it. Sticky Hands is one of my favorite IPAs and this hop combination sounds like it could be the best version yet.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but as I expected, it's all gone now (or at least I wasn't able to find any at the usual places in town that carry Block 15 stuff).
