    Very nice. I wish it were cans, but 4 pack bottles will do.

    Any idea at what pricing will be? Possibly $8.99-$9.99?

    Agreed that cans would be amazing! My guess would be the 9.99 range for the 4 pack.

    This will live in my fridge. Had a bomber the other day for the 1st time in about a year and it reminded me of how great this beer is.

    There are 04.29 bombers out right now. I had one about a week after it was bottled. Gloriously fresh.

    I would pay like 10-20% more for IPAs in general if there was some serious effort to indelibly label bottles with destruction dates and distributors actually did their job and pulled the old bottles.

    @tmaestro Exactly. IPA is one of my favorite styles, but I virtually never buy them in Texas. Even beers that are "new" to the state usually were brewed 3-4 months ago and are just getting to us because of labeling or distribution delays. The only times I ever buy an IPA here are when the date is obvious, like Stone Enjoy By, or when it's been widely publicized that the beer is being released for the first time ever and was just brewed. Breweries need to put dates on their bottles, otherwise the risk of buying their products is just too high.

    Still seeing 2013 bottles in Austin/RR. I have personally never seen an Endeavor that wasn't at least 2 months old and Im in a beer shop 2-3 times a week most times.

    I wouldn't call the beer places I shop at bad at all, not even close. Maybe it's because we're in Austin?

    There's a new sheriff in town who is a fresh Double Jack ****. Try mentioning @FW_Texas in a tweet and see if it helps.

    Until recently, most Endeavour bottles in Waco were from June last year. Even the new bottles we got in the past month or so were January and March batches. I'll be sure to get a four pack or two when it drops here since the freshness will be guaranteed.

    Same down here. I'll be sure to pick up some 4 month old 4 packs when they get here.

    Thanks, L&F.
