    I've seen it on shelves of a particular beer store where I did my undergrad pretty regularly. Not sure of the bottle date however.

    They're all over the place on Long Island and NYC. Shit, they sell them in bodegas.
    A great stout, for sure, and my favorite Guinness, too.

    For whatever reason the distribution is much better east of the Rockies. I've searched for it both in California and here in Kansas and it's much easier to get here.

    For a while we had a consistent re-supply of the foreign extra at my work but after St Patrick's day we stopped getting them in for some reason... I hope we get them back soon

    I'm pretty sure my whole foods had it the other week.

    I saw it everywhere when it first came out. Lately, I've seen is sporadically around the Midwest. Have not seen it on the east coast since I moved here, though.

    I have still seen some bottles around as well but I suspect that they are older.... I too enjoyed this beer a lot and think it's their best offering....

    I see this pretty regularly around here. Saw a couple dry 4pks and about a half dozen in the cooler section just about a week and a half ago.

    Used to be a go to when I could find it in 4 packs, but I am NOT pay the singles rate. besides even the singles are rare, or it sells out fast. I miss it.

    I've seen it in lower New York recently. I'd like to have some again now that you mention it.

    It must depend on where you're at... I'm in Gainesville, FL, and our grocery stores always have it.

    Missing for a while now (NOT 5 years... ;-)
    Looked all over for it, because I wanted to compare it with the Belizean brewed version.

    They have it at a few grocery stores near me. I also just bought some at a beer distributer in Maryland.
    It's uncommon, but definitely still around.
