Been hearing about it for awhile but nothing materializes. Maybe there's still a lot of old bombers that need to go to retailers first?
I have been hearing about it for a bit too. We get plenty of bombers but I'm ready for 6 packs and hope it happens soon.
Bombers on the shelves should all be fresh. We probably rotate through our order every 4-5 weeks, mostly to the same accounts so we know those accounts are selling through them. Given that we are typically shorted on our order, we also know that we are getting the product fairly fresh, so there should be no more than 40 days or so on anything on the shelf, probably less. Either way, well within anybody's freshness guidelines. Six-packs are still a ways out. They remain limited in production. We have not been given an ETA on them.
Rampage, I've almost given up on the bombers because I've been burned too many times with ones that tasted anything but fresh. This is one that I'll usually just buy from WF or AJ's too. Draft is always a win though. I'm still seeing a lot of Ballast Point product on shelves from the older production when they had no date codes on them, especially WF and AJ's.
The total wine I go to usually has it pretty fresh. Thanks for the update AZeagle. Wish they would get the 6's here soon.
May be old news but I'm seeing these at Total Wine. Expiration mid April. $13.99/sixpack with the regular coupons.
Thanks for the heads up. Came across it last Friday and paid 2.75 a bottle. I will hit goal wine next time.
