    BA Old Rasputin is around $20 for 500ml if I remember correctly. If this was released around $12, it would last 35 seconds on the shelf.

    You guys are crazy. This will be at least $18 for a 750.

    SN is much more friendly with their pricing though. Not saying your wrong, just hoping :-)

    I hope you're right, too. Narwhal and Old Rasputin are priced very similarly here ($9-$10); that's why I drew that comparison.

    ...Yeah, if I can find it, I'll buy it.

    I actually find the standard Narwhal to be an underrated RIS.

    Yeah, the BA Bigfoot in Michigan was like the real Bigfoot; the only pics we saw of it were grainy and likely fake and not many people believed it existed.

    Hoping to see much more of this around our parts.

    I saw an empty bottle of the ba bigfoot at my bottle shop, they keep a collection of nice beer bottles on a shelf right in the front to mess with new people to the shop. That was the only time I found it in georgia. However, narwhal, hoptimum, and bigfoot regular is all over goergia, even at stores I would not expect.

    Looking forward to this.. Hope the MR brewery has some work in making this, or has some other good BA stuff that will help supply us East Coast' folks.

    Whatever they charge, I'm paying. For at least one - if it makes it here. If it's reasonable, I'll buy all I can carry. I love regular Narwhal; this is something I've been craving ever since I had my first regular Narwhal!

    I had a taste of Barrel Aged Narwal on Tuesday while at Sierra Nevada Beer Camp. Not kidding. Don't hate me. It was DELICIOUS!

    The Black Butte XXVI? Where in Mn are you at brother? $12.99 at Total Wine in the cities. Sorry to hear you had to pay so much.

    Had it a few times on tap, I like to think of it as a future Bourbon County killer... :wink:

    well maybe... :grinning: there's enough room for both.

    @sierranevadabill will this be released across your entire distribution footprint where possible, or to only select markets? Would love some of this in Tennessee!

    Since our ABV laws are utterly archaic in OH I'm major ISO! Seriously, if anyone can hook me up when this comes out send me a message. We'll work something out and I promise you won't be disappointed. Stuff like BA DORIS, etc.

    6000 cases is no joke. Parabola is 3500 cases so this should be at least a little more readily available. Looking forward to this one.
