    It was only released at the pubs on the 27th I thought?

    So probably a week from now bare minimum.

    Everyone I've talked to said that the delivery trucks would be coming in today or tomorrow in TC and would probably be on there... Maybe?

    Did you try XXV within the last few weeks? Because that's when the best after was listed as, correct?

    It's been about a month since having 25. 24/25 were such a letdown compared to 23 and 21 even 22 as well.

    I hope XXVI is better than XXV. I could have had a dozen bottles of XXV and settled for 1 instead.

    I got three bottles of XXV. Tasted one last year nearly right after purchase. Thought it was very rough and hot and needed some time. Been looking forward to cracking another soon. The third I will hold for a few years 'til the time when we all look back on this one fondly. That's how it works right?:wink:

    And jeebuz, my Duschuttes cellar alone is becoming quite crowded with the Black Buttes and the Abyss' s and the Collages and the Stoics and the NOT the Stoics and the Mirrors and what have you...

    FWIW, XXIV was mighty tasty last night, when we came in off the lake. :grinning:

    Drinking some XXVI on draft at Deschutes Portland right now. Ha. Bombers are $17 here and they don't have sales tax. Come get some.

    Yeah, this is really helpful to the BAs in the midwest. I just booked my flight for my $17 bottle! Oh, the savings!

    Hey I did :slight_smile: Ok, granted I ended up with three cases of beer/wine and was mostly there to see my sister-in-law and her husband (who is a BA as well), but I made sure to pick up a handful of XXVI while there.

    I think you're Internet-ing wrong. Never admit that you were wrong! Yell incoherently until everyone else gives up :stuck_out_tongue:

    The overstaffed Four Firkins people stated they would expect it endish of July. They didn't seem too sure, nor sure how much they'd get. if over a few cases, they'd update facebook, if not they'll just set it out.

    Why even bother with them. They are a "destination shop" and never have anything past a couple of hours. I went there looking for Sucks! a week after first distro and was given the 'really?' look. Then i drove across the Highway to Byerlys and bought a case.
