    SN usually does their releases nationwide, especially bottled stuff.

    What's the pricetag here?
    Are we talking RR (+$) or SN (-$) prices?
    I sincerely hope OKLAHOMA gets this...
    We didn't get ESTATE or the 30th anni stuff.

    Sounds great! Although I wish they hadn't done 750s, since at 8% and given that my wife abhors brett, it's not that likely to make its way into my gullet.

    From this article I gathered this bit of useful info: "About the same scale of release as Ovila /Sierra 30" Sweet! Sounds like there will be plenty. BTW I believe Bill Manley might be BA sierranevadabill...

    Swing top bottles work great for breaking up 750's. Especially big beers that aren't excessively foamy.

    " BRUX was brewed in Chico (at Sierra Nevada) and will go through their distribution channels, which will, of course, greatly increase your chances of getting a couple of bottles"

    It just hit WV today. I picked up a couple at about $15 a piece.

    For the record, this is the first time ever that I'd rather be in West Virginia than the West Coast. How the hell is it getting there first? Anyway, enjoy! Can't wait to grab a couple bottles of this.

    Haha, I feel the same way. I was surprised to see that it was here too. I logged on to Facebook this morning to see that my local bottle shop had a case. They also had a case of Ovila Golden too, which I picked up. The shop owner told me that the entire state only got six cases of Brux though.

    I opened one of my bottles earlier today and it was decent. It's very saison-like. It's not very tart and the Brett is pretty subdued. There's just enough Brett to remind you that it's there. Those looking for a sour are going to be disappointed because there's nothing sour about it. This thing definitely could use some age though. I'm anxious to see what a year will do to this.

    i had a feeling it was going to be this way, hopefully with some age this will change. im tempted to age both bottles
